The fan who left Usher hanging back in July has finally gotten the R&B serenade she was really hoping for.

Gabrielle Cheyenne was pulled up onstage by Chris Brown on Sunday night as "The R&B Tour" played the third of five record-setting Atlanta dates.

Her name first spread across social media over the summer. During a July show Usher invited her up for a special moment but she barely cracked a smile while he worked to win her over — a clip that quickly turned into a meme.

Wrong singer

Cheyenne later explained she meant Usher no disrespect. Her stone face, she said, came from disappointment that she had not been chosen for a Chris Brown moment instead.

Almost four months on she got her do-over. Brown even posted shots of her on Instagram as the second slide of a carousel. Cheyenne wasted little time reposting it for her followers.

Tension behind the scenes

The sweet moment arrives during a bumpy stretch for the two headliners. According to reports the two singers argued backstage ahead of Thursday's Atlanta opener about delaying the start for ticket holders caught in gridlock.

That dispute is said to have helped push the start back by close to three hours, sparking talk of a feud. The singers seemed to set it aside when they performed together the next night.

Two more Atlanta concerts remain on the schedule — so more surprises could still be in store.
