LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late-night television often serves up unexpected and amusing anecdotes, and a segment on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' featuring Rosalia that originally aired on March 10, 2022, delivered just that.

Delving into phone number quirks: Jimmy Fallon and Rosalia's confessions

During the segment, Fallon and Rosalia discussed the common practice of changing phone numbers, a habit both entertainers have confessed to having in the past.

Rosalía revealed her rationale behind switching numbers frequently, citing a desire to focus on work and avoid distractions caused by unanswered messages.

The conversation took a hilarious turn when Rosalia explained the aftermath of changing her number.

"I realized, you know, that I wanted to focus, be in the studio, work, and I wanted to focus and... I'd rather not change the phone."

Jimmy Fallon explained how, after changing numbers, "people text because someone else gets that number and then your friends start texting that number, not knowing you changed yours."

Rosalia then brought up a hilarious misunderstanding she previously had, explaining, "I thought that when you use a phone number, then the phone number, you know, like it disappears or something. I don't know why I thought it."

She continued her story, "And then I realized that people, my friends that, uh, thought that they were texting me, they were texting random people."

Rosalia's hilarious mix-up involving Harry Styles

The ensuing confusion resulted in a surprising encounter involving none other than former One Direction member and pop sensation Harry Styles.

Rosalía recounted how Styles had texted what he assumed was her new number, unaware that it had been reassigned.

"Yeah. That happened," Rosalía exclaimed amid laughter and cheers from the audience. "So Harry Styles texts you thinking it's you, but it's not. Someone else has the phone number," she recounted, setting the stage for the amusing tale.

With infectious excitement, she shared the screenshots of text messages exchanged between Styles and the unintended recipient of her old number.

Rosalia's animated storytelling continued as she revealed the comical confusion caused by Styles' messages, with laughter punctuating her retelling.

"He sent me this screenshot in the Instagram DMs, saying your texts are confusing," she said, showcasing Styles' accidental messages expressing admiration and endearment about Rosalia's music to the wrong recipient.

Amid giggles, Fallon read out Harry Styles' message, "'Love you too,' with lots of O's. Very romantic, Harry." This came after the accidental recipient first called Styles "my darling" and said "love you" to him when he said he loved her song.

The conversation then took a confusing turn for Styles as the person went from saying "love you" to "Haha sorry... I don't know who you are."

The singer further recounted the bewildered response from the unsuspecting person who now owned her old number. "The person says, 'This number belongs to someone before. But now it's my number, so don't bother me anymore. Good night,'" Rosalía recounted, eliciting laughter and applause from the audience.

With an infectious mix of laughter and disbelief, she unveiled the text exchange between Styles and the unwitting recipient of her old number, prompting uproarious reactions from the audience.

The screenshots revealed a comical back-and-forth where Styles expressed confusion over receiving unexpected responses from the unfamiliar number.

The sheer absurdity of the situation left both Rosalía and Fallon in fits of laughter, emphasizing the unexpected twists that can arise from a simple change of phone number.
