Fans were in for the surprise of their lives when Usher revealed he was bringing Beyoncé on as a surprise guest at Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday.

Or so they thought.

During his set, the Grammy winner announced to the crowd:

"I said I would have a special surprise for you tonight."
"Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, put your hands together for the one, the only, Beyoncé."

Needless to say, the audience absolutely lost it—if not for a just a moment.

Usher appeared to be searching and motioning for the "CUFF IT" singer to join him, but to the dismay of everyone in attendance, she never did.

The "Nice & Slow" singer returned to the mic to address the crowd, sadly announcing with a laugh:

"April Fools."

You can watch the moment—and hear the crowd deflate—below.

Viewers of the prank—and even some fans in attendance that heartbreaking day—commented on his cruel shenanigans.

Many agreed that while completely wrong, he got 'em.

A few also chimed in Usher is the only person who could get away with such a savage prank without inciting an angry mob.

In his defense, the R&B star did bring on City Girls to perform their song "Good Love" which features Usher.

...But now we're craving a little "Love in this Club."

Randy Rainbow Hilariously Drags Mitch McConnell's Unlikely Senate Return With 'Mitchcraft' Parody Video

Singer and satirist Randy Rainbow has been parodying politics since the first presidency of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. But Trump isn't the focus of Rainbow's latest comedy music video.

Instead, the performer—whose name really is Randy Rainbow—set his sights on the mysterious 92-day disappearance of Kentucky MAGA Republican Senator and former Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. In June, the 84-year-old lawmaker reportedly fell at his home and was taken to the hospital.

We Just Got Our First Look At AMC's New 'Dune: Part 3' Popcorn Bucket—And They Really Went There

Remember when a Dune popcorn bucket sent the internet into a collective meltdown? Well, AMC Theatres apparently looked at all that chaos and thought, “Cute. Let's double it.” The popcorn bucket madness continues with Dune: Part Three, and this time, the sandworms are coming in pairs.

AMC is pitching its new Double Sandworm Collectible as a way to make sharing popcorn easier. A thoughtful gesture, really, although the two gaping, tooth-lined mouths suggest the design team may have had a little too much fun with the assignment.
