Usher Feeds Sabrina Carpenter a Cherry at Met Gala — and Her Dad Has Questions
Usher might’ve delivered a show-stopping Met Gala performance, but one unexpected moment had the internet — and Sabrina Carpenter’s dad — doing a double take.
On Wednesday, May 7, Carpenter shared a collection of glamorous snapshots from the 2025 Met Gala, highlighting her Louis Vuitton bodysuit and a few famous friends, including Jenna Ortega. But the photo getting the most attention? A shot of Usher feeding her a cherry during the event’s afterparty.
Carpenter’s father, David, reacted to the now-viral image in peak dad fashion: with a confused “? Weird” text — which she cheekily included in her Instagram carousel.
Usher, ever the smooth operator, dropped a comment acknowledging the awkward exchange: “Apologies Mr Carpenter 😅🍒.”
Fans were quick to weigh in with equal parts amusement and sympathy. “The text from your dad 😭” one wrote, while another added, “Usher vs protective dad — I’d watch that.”
The cherry moment took place during Usher’s surprise set, which included hits like “Yeah!” and a duet with Stevie Wonder on “Another Star.” Wonder also treated guests to classics like “Isn’t She Lovely” and “Superstition.”
Between jaw-dropping fashion and unforgettable performances, Usher’s cherry drop might just be the Met Gala’s most unexpected headline.
