Sabrina Carpenter¡¯s dad cringes at Usher¡¯s cherry moment at MET Gala: 'Weird' text goes viral
Sabrina Carpenter¡¯s Met Gala moment with Usher, yes, the cherry-feeding one ¡ª has taken over the internet, but not everyone¡¯s loving the fruity flirtation. Her dad¡¯s ¡°weird¡± reaction to the viral clip has fans in splits, while the singer herself continues to slay, pearls, cherries, and all.
Sabrina Carpenter may have looked like a walking Louis Vuitton dream at the 2025 Met Gala, but all eyes (and camera lenses) were glued to one juicy moment, quite literally. In a now-viral clip, the two-time Grammy winner was spotted being seductively fed a cherry by none other than Usher during his star-studded performance. And while the internet screamed, ¡°ICONIC,¡± Sabrina¡¯s dad had just one word: ¡°Weird.¡±

Yes, in the final slide of Sabrina¡¯s glamorous Instagram photo dump from the Gala night, fans got a cheeky glimpse of her dad¡¯s reaction, a screenshot of a text where he simply linked to the viral cherry-feeding video and commented, ¡°? Weird.¡± No context, no emojis. Just pure, confused dad energy. Naturally, the internet ate it up.

Sabrina Carpenter's fans react
Sabrina¡¯s loyal fans, fashion stans, and meme lovers were already living for the cherry exchange, but her dad¡¯s classic boomer response just took the entire situation to another level. Even Dunkin (yes, the coffee chain) could not resist chiming in, hilariously commenting on Sabrina¡¯s post, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s art!,¡± a reference to their previous ¡°Espresso¡± collab with the pop star.

The cherry moment aside, Carpenter was a total vision in a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble, thanking Pharrell and the design team for an ¡°amazing look¡± that she called ¡°tailored to perfection.¡± She topped the fit off with a glittering Chopard necklace and some serious diva energy, posing alongside stars like Jenna Ortega and Chappell Roan.
Sabrina is also riding high on a massive professional wave, her third Met Gala, sold-out tour stops at Madison Square Garden and Bridgestone Arena, and now, a headliner slot at the 2025 Austin City Limits Music Festival. From releasing pop hits to going viral at couture balls, she¡¯s truly having a moment.
But clearly, not everyone is vibing with the cherry-core energy, especially not Papa Carpenter. And while Sabrina did not directly respond to the comment, posting it to her IG pretty much said it all. As for Usher? Feeding cherries and living rent-free in Met Gala history books is clearly his new thing.
