Daytime TV show Good Morning Britain is getting some backlash for their interview with Mariah Carey following the horrifying mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Scheduled to talk about her UK Christmas tour, people were pissed hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid would blindside the songstress with the news to get her thoughts on it.

Or even interview her at all as MC had a whole Christmas-theme set up in her home while she was sprawled on a sofa.
Mariah did her best to maintain her composure while she reacted to the tragic news live, telling viewers:
“I pray for the victims and hope all these can stop as soon as possible. You know, I have spent a lot of time in Vegas and this type of thing anywhere happening anywhere is a huge tragedy… It’s terrible because people just going out to listen to music, really they’re out for the night and something like this happens, it’s shocking.”
Twitter went OFF on the show’s hosts for being so “classless” and putting her on the spot like that:
Don’t get me started on this… ├░┼╕╦£┬í She was totally blindsided.. I can’t.

Give Mariah Carey a break. She was on GMB to discuss a Christmas tour not the Las Vegas shooting. It’s not her fault she was blind-sided.

But that Good Morning Britain interview with Mariah Carey was badly timed. She was ready to talk about her Christmas tour lads, not that. 😔

Shame on @GMB using a pre planned @MariahCarey interview to blind side her about Vegas shooting. Classless tactics & now she’s getting stick

Totally unfair that they spring @MariahCarey live on air due to talk about her Christmas concerts…only to announce the #LasVegas shootings

Seriously @GMB That was utterly bizarre having Mariah Carey on just now #goodmorningbritain

OMG! What the hell is @GMB doing talking to Mariah Carey about #LasVegas ?? @piersmorgan what are you doing?

We now go to Mariah Carey for some unknown reason for the latest updates #GMB

Finding #gmb in bad taste this morning, breaking Vegas news to Mariah Carey looking for some sort of scoop or reaction.

But according to Piers, they gave her team fair warning:
We told Mariah’s people before the interview.
Her reaction seemed very relevant given she’s a performer who often has residence in Vegas. https://t.co/6sVMSUMvHK

Yet, they still thought it was appropriate to get her thoughts as she was posed in that setting.
What do U think?? Who was in the wrong here?
Watch part of her interview (below) and let us know what U think:
