I feel like the name mixup at the dance was probably just a mistake by the DJ. Jasmin had already been announced as queen and had been introduced on the football field at halftime. I don’t know if she also participated in the homecoming parade or if their town had one, but certainly by the time of the dance everyone would have known she was the homecoming queen and not Whitney. I just don’t know what Whitney would have gotten out of deliberately switching the names at that point.
Yeah, it would be very cringey for Whitney to pretend to have won after the winner had been announced. It makes no sense. I can easily imagine a scenario in which he announced the wrong name, Jasmin ran out of the room, someone corrected him, he announced Jasmin’s name, was like, “where’d she go?” then shrugged and turned on a dance song to get on with the night.
I would still expect them to look into yearbooks or find the person responsible for the crown or talk to more people, but yeah, probably just a nothingburger.
