89-year-old woman meets singer Usher backstage after viral video of her wishing to meet him.

At 89, Laverne Tucker has finally lived out her wish of meeting American singer Usher, after a clip of her sharing that dream spread widely online.

The video was posted by her granddaughter, showing Laverne speaking about her longing to meet Usher. It caught the attention of music executive Jermaine Dupri, who promised to make the meeting happen.

That promise came to life when Laverne attended The R&B Tour in Atlanta, where she got to meet the singer backstage. While with him, she complimented him, telling him he was handsome.

Usher went a step further after the show by sending her flowers and a card with the message: “It’s really great to know now that we are family.”
