Patti got down to Ginuwine's "Pony" at Usher's My Way: The Last Vegas Residency, and the crowd went wild.

She don’t know if she wanna grind or praise dance. It’s like her arms are going one way and her hips the other- I won’t do too much because I dance like MJB in the club

Patti even took to social media to share how she felt about the evening. "I'm so glad I was able to catch Usher's show in Vegas before my concert in Primm, NV, tomorrow night because it was AWESOME!" she wrote.

I'm so glad I was able to catch Usher's show in Vegas before my concert in Primm, NV tomorrow night because it was AWESOME! Thank you @Usher and your whole team for treating me like a queen! And if you haven't seen his show yet, this is one you do not want to miss! 😘 pic.twitter.com/Vip9jEWcHG

ICYMI, Patti also had a time at the 2023 BET Awards when she paid tribute to the late Tina Turner and simply forgot the lyrics to the Queen of Rock N' Roll's 1989 hit "The Best."

True fans will remember that this isn't the first time Ms. Patti went viral for a hilarious concert moment. In 1996, she struggled with the cue cards for "This Christmas" at the National Tree Lighting.

“Where my background singers???”

Patti stay forgetting lyrics 😂 💜 pic.twitter.com/sWt9YwO0u6

I was at the BET Awards, and apparently, the enthusiastic audience blocked the teleprompter, so it wasn't necessarily Patti's fault.

Good thing Patti’s background singers showed up faster this time.... pic.twitter.com/yzH2jH1x8Z

Ms. Patti looking great up there. 79 and going.

Producers needed to make those words big AF.

Patti Labelle just likes to be seen. She had no business up there. 🙄

But alas, Patti LaBelle is a legend so we can't put too much on her for the flub. As actor Holly Robinson Peete wrote, "Not tolerating any Patti slander. This woman is almost 80 and is a legend."

Yes, because producers didn’t make sure that her Teleprompter was clear. They owe her big apology. Not tolerating any Patti slander. This woman is almost 80 and is a legend.
