Pop star Maggie Rogers has exposed a 'handsome' journalist for dating her while he allegedly had a secret girlfriend.

The nominee, 32, made the shock reveal in front of 20,000 people at Rosalia's LUX tour concert at Madison Square Garden in on Tuesday.

She did so during the sold-out show's confessional-style interlude, where Rosalia acted as priest while Rogers spoke into her mic from behind a privacy screen.

While she did not reveal the name of the alleged two-timer, Rogers claimed they dated 'a little while ago' and that he is a reporter for the Manhattan-based newspaper.

'They're single, they're handsome, and they work for the New York Times,' she said while revealing how she was setup with the man by a friend in a now-viral clip.

Rogers sent the crowd wild when she claimed that their first date involved him taking her to the 'empty' New York Times headquarters for a late-night make out.

However, Rogers's seemingly perfect date came crashing down the following day when she learned that he was the boyfriend of one of her friend's friends.

'You've got to be careful,' Rogers warned the audience before telling the story in full.

Their first - and only - date started off like a movie, with the unnamed man picking up Rogers from her NYC apartment in his 'vintage car.'

Rogers's night with the New York Times mystery man ended with him driving her home before asking her if he could come up to her apartment.

'"Not yet,"' she told him.

The next morning, Rogers eagerly called 'two of [her] friends' to talk about her magical first date.

Rogers remembered gushing about how she really thought she 'found someone.'

It wasn't until she revealed the name of the man to her pals that she discovered his shocking secret.

'"Oh my god! That's my friend's boyfriend,"' Rogers recalled her friend telling her.

Rogers then confronted her date over the phone about having a girlfriend.

She claimed that he tried to seemingly manipulate the situation by asking if he could 'come see' her in person to 'talk,' but Rogers gave him a hard no.

'That's my story. I mean, what a loser [he is],' she concluded.
