What did Sabrina Carpenter’s dad say about her cherry moment with Usher?
At the 2025 Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter had an unexpected moment with Usher. However, it was her dad’s reaction that caught fans’ attention. During Usher’s performance for gala attendees at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, he shared a playful moment with the pop star. A now-viral photo shows him holding the cherry by the stem, holding it above Carpenter’s open mouth as she leans her head back with her tongue out.
On May 7, two days after the gala, Carpenter posted a screenshot of their text conversation on Instagram. In it, her dad had sent her the photo of the moment with the simple comment, “? Weird.” This reaction quickly garnered the attention of her fans. The cherry moment is part of a signature act Usher has performed during his live shows. It started during his 2022-23 Las Vegas residency.
In addition to her moment with Usher, Carpenter made headlines with her red carpet look. She opted for a custom burgundy tuxedo-style bodysuit by Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell Williams. Speaking to Vogue, Carpenter said, “This is Pharrell and this is Louis Vuitton. And I’m such a massive fan of Pharrell’s, and have been to the shows, and I was just like ‘If I could go with him this year, that would be my dream.’ And that came true.” Carpenter also spent time with her “Taste” music video co-star Jenna Ortega at the event.
