One Usher fan had a moment with the singer this week that neither she nor he will ever forget.

Monday night at Madison Square Garden, the entertainer invited a concertgoer on to the stage during his show. Unfortunately, what should have been a romantic serenade turned into a painful memory for both parties. (Cue the tape to the 2:50 mark to see the awkward moment.)

Despite being kicked in the face, Usher says he has "no hard feelings" about the event. "In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. I got a kick out of it!" he claimed to Us Weekly. "It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh."

"Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," he added.
