The 2025 Met Gala was a star-studded affair where pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter posed with Usher and a cherry, leading to her dad’s amusing reaction. Amid its opulent atmosphere and A-listers were Carpenter and Usher having a playful moment, caught on camera. The singer-songwriter’s Instagram post featured the photo, which she had seemingly shared separately with her dad, David Carpenter. He offered a hilariously terse critique of the photo.
The photo showed Usher in a dapper white suit holding a microphone in one hand. He extended his other arm with a cherry toward Carpenter, who looked chic in a stylish burgundy bodysuit and a jacket. The lighthearted yet subtly sensual gesture was literally a cherry on top of the evening. However, the comedic gold was buried at the end of the post – a text message from Carpenter’s “Dadda.”
David Carpenter delivered his unfiltered fatherly judgment on the cherry-feeding photo with utmost brevity. He had simply responded “? Weird,” which his daughter found amusing enough to be shared with her followers. As a result, fans rushed to her comments, noticing and remarking on the pop singer’s dad’s hilarious response. Nevertheless, the digital comedy heightened when Usher spotted the post and dropped in the comments with an apology.
The R&B star wrote, “Apologies Mr. Carpenter,” addressing the artist’s father directly. The 2025 Met Gala might have been a serious affair, but Sabrina Carpenter, Usher, their cherry photo, and Carpenter’s dad’s reaction added a dash of humor to the event.
