Kevin Costner<\/a>\u00a0was spotted sitting next to\u00a0Cher\u00a0<\/a>at\u00a0SNL50: The Anniversary Special\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 just two days after his epic reaction to her live performance in New York City.<\/p>\n

Cher, 78, was one of a number of esteemed artists who performed at \u201cSNL50: The Homecoming Concert\u201d at Radio City Music Hall on Friday, Feb. 14. And while her rendition of \u201cIf I Can Turn Back Time\u201d brought the star-studded crowd to its feet, per\u00a0Newsweek<\/em><\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0Costner seemed particularly thrilled and emotional.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the camera panned to the audience during the song, the\u00a0Yellowstone\u00a0<\/em>alum, 70, could be seen clutching the sides of his head, seemingly in total awe of the 78-year-old music legend.<\/p>\n

Costner and Cher were then seen sitting side-by-side in the audience during the celeb-packed Sunday, Feb. 16 anniversary special during a comedic Q&A led by former castmembers\u00a0Tina Fey<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Amy Poehler<\/a>. Costner sported a black button-up and black blazer, while Cher donned a plunging crystal black gown and blonde updo.<\/p>\n

The sighting occurred when fellow audience member\u00a0Ryan Reynolds<\/a>\u00a0stood up to ask Fey, 54, and Poehler, 53, if the cones from the class \u201cCone Heads\u201d sketches were \u201cedible\u201d (Fey replies no, they are not, and that they are likely toxic).<\/p>\n
