Kim Kardashian finally made it to see Usher on Saturday - and this time she had Chris Appleton, Lukas Gage, and her friend Allison Statter by her side. Back in October, Khloé Kardashian tried to surprise her big sister with a trip to see the "Love in This Club" singer in concert in Las Vegas for her 42nd birthday. Sadly, they ultimately missed the concert when their plane was forced to land due to bad weather, as reported by People.
The Skims founder and her pals ended up eating at In-N-Out Burger instead, but this time around she made it to the show without any hiccups. Kim chronicled her night out with her friends Appleton and Gage, who are reportedly engaged, and Statter on her Instagram Story. The foursome sang their hearts out throughout the evening, and at one point Usher even came down to serenade the reality star and her friends.
In one video, the "My Boo" singer comes over to Kim's group and begins singing "Superstar," before pausing to give her a shoutout. "What up Kim, you made it," he said. It was hard to tell who was more excited by the singer's stop by their section: Kim or Appleton and Gage. The new couple have been spending lots of time together lately, but seeing Usher in concert appeared to be a highlight for the guys.
As she was jamming to Usher and cheering on Teyana Taylor, Kim shared that she may be making a return trip to see the Vegas show again soon. "Finally made it to see @usher but my girls are mad they aren't here soooo I just have to come back with them ASAP," she wrote over one video of her, Gage, and Appleton dancing.
For his part, Usher previously reached out to Kim to invite her to another concert after her birthday trip fail. "Happy birthday Kim! I saw the post, I hate that you didn't make it to the show last night. But listen, open arms to you, whenever you want to come," he shared on his Instagram Story at the time.
Thankfully, Kim finally made it (even though Khloé is still waiting on her girls' night out). Check out the gallery ahead to see photos of Kim, Gage, and Appleton living it up at Usher's show.
