Kevin Costner’s Viral Reaction to Cher’s SNL Performance
He’s Just Like Us!
Leave it to Cher to leave even our favorite celebrities completely starstruck!
In case you missed it, Saturday Night Live recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with an unforgettable multi-day event. The star-studded celebration brought together a dazzling lineup of show alumni, former hosts, and just about every big name who has ever been part of the series. We’re talking Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell, Meryl Streep, Eddie Murphy, Pedro Pascal, Chris Rock—the list goes on.
While the classic SNL sketches kept the laughs rolling, it was the homecoming concert that truly stole the spotlight. And if we’re getting specific, one standout moment was Cher’s iconic performance—and Kevin Costner’s unforgettable reaction to it.
At 78, Cher delivered a powerhouse rendition of “If I Could Turn Back Time” at Radio City Music Hall, bringing the crowd to their feet with her electrifying energy. But it was the camera cutting to Yellowstone star Kevin Costner in the audience that really caught everyone’s attention.
One fan perfectly summed it up: “Find someone who looks at you the way Kevin Costner looks at Cher.” Others chimed in with comments like, “Every person in the room was in awe of her… and Kevin shows us all how it’s done,” and “Kevin Costner was literally all of us.”
Caught in a moment of pure admiration, Costner had his hands on his head and wore a smirk that said it all. Like the rest of us, he was completely mesmerized by Cher’s star power—it’s that kind of magic she brings wherever she goes.
Later that weekend, the actor and singer shared the same star-studded audience for the NBC special honoring SNL’s milestone. Costner looked sharp in a sleek all-black suit, while Cher stunned in a fur jacket, sparkling dress, and a hairstyle that made a statement all on its own. Honestly, we’d love to be a fly on the wall to see what these two might chat about behind the scenes!
