Why did my subject line not populate the first name???

Rookie

I have been with you for years and this morning my emails that went out to non-openers populated the subject line with: Hey [FIRSTNAME OR ""]] do you suffer from excessive WORRY?

How embarrassing as a business owner!  Why didn't it populate the first name like it always does?

This makes me not trust this system.

Please advise so it doesn't happen again!
