Open Post: Hosted By Cher As The “Surprise Performer” At The Met Gala
Fitting that I’m writing about Cher because you haven’t seen the last of me!
Most years it seems like 90% of the tricks who somehow get an invite to the Met Gala ignore the theme and just shamelessly promote themselves with a hot piece on their arm and perky chi-chis (just ask Tom Brady. His chi-chis are always perky and he avoids Met Gala theme). This year’s camp theme actually got some people adhering to the costume rule, but the night’s biggest surprise, however, came later when Cher (the actual Cher) showed up to sing.
People reports Cher skipped the red carpet because she couldn’t stomach the sight of so many Z-listers attempting and failing a concept she built decades of a career on. They didn’t actually say that was the reason, but we know it’s true. Cher popped up in the Egyptian wing to perform her hits to the plebeians and show ‘em how it’s done. Gwen Stefani had videos on her Instagram story of Katy Perry losing it while Cher performed “Believe,” likely because Cher notched a number 1 with that at age 52 and Katy, uh, infer what you will.

Everyone seems to be surprised and gobsmacked that Cher showed up. Bitch, are you kidding me? The only thing more camp than Cher and that blonde wig she stole from the set of Mamma Mia 2 to bring on tour is if Lady Gaga had debuted a fifth look from the red carpet that entailed Madonna jumping out from beneath that black underwear in her final ensemble. Hell, maybe that was part of the plan, and she’s still trapped under it. Camp! What a gas!
