Usher Spills On The Unexpected Impact BLACKPINK's "BORN PINK" Show Had On Him

BLACKPINK has been taking over the globe during their world tour and has already successfully completed the North American and European leg of their BORN PINK tour.

The members are currently on a short break in the Asian leg of their tour and have mostly been keeping it low-key, but even with their limited public appearances as they spend time off-stage, the global girl group continues to make headlines and trend worldwide.

Recently, they were trending due to praise earned from none other than American R&B legend Usher.

The talented singer was spotted in the audience of BLACKPINK’s second Atlanta, Georgia, show on their BORN PINK tour by eagle-eyed netizens.

During the group’s first Atlanta show, Jennie hummed Usher’s hit song “Oh Yeah,” causing netizens to hilariously claim she summoned the R&B crooner to their show.

Usher recently had an interview with GQ Magazine, in which he opened up about his current Las Vegas residency, his three-decade-long career, and talked about the night he attended BLACKPINK’s concert.

Usher revealed to GQ that his two sons “begged him to take them to a concert,” which ended up being BLACKPINK’s sold-out show.

The veteran singer was immediately impressed and found inspiration in the show’s high-quality production.

I literally went to a Blackpink concert in Atlanta, and I was like, man! I’m goofy! I’m looking like, ‘Wow, this is amazing.’

Usher definitely earned “dad of the year” as he was spotted casually walking around the general admission area on the second night of BLACKPINK’s in-demand show.

As Usher made plans for his Vegas residency, he took mental notes, wanting to “maintain a similar standard of excellence, one he doesn’t see as often anymore.“

They were putting on a show. Wardrobe, great sequencing, with the lighting and everything working in sync—there’s no detail spared. I loved that.

— Usher

What began as a night at a concert for his kids ended with Usher becoming a certified BLINK.
