Fans flooded the comments with hilarious remarks about how they would've reacted if they were in Rae's position.

Celebs also weighed in. \"This brought me so much joy @issarae @usher\" actress Kerry Washington wrote, while director Ava DuVernay commented, \"Yeassss!!!!!\"

Usher previously told \"Good Morning America\" that fans could expect him to be \"a bit on the wild side\" during the residency.

The residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM runs until the end of October and picks back up again in March 2023.
