NSYNC got together onstage for Justin Timberlake’s exclusive show in Los Angeles at The Wiltern on Wednesday night, and it's pretty easy to figure out what they sang.
The singer previously performed *NSYNC songs alone at his other two pre-release shows in Memphis and New York, but when he started singing “It’s Gonna Be Me,” JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick joined in to sing the chorus.
The performance is the most recent public reunion of the boy band after they joined Timberlake for his MTV VMA Vanguard Award medley in 2013. The group also gathered at the 2023 VMAs. attracting Taylor Swift’s attention.
The group presented Swift with her moon person for best pop, won by “Anti-Hero,” and in her acceptance speech, she expressed curiosity about the reunion.
“I’m not handling the shift from watching the NSYNC reunion to accepting an award very well,” Swift said while accepting the award. “I even had your dolls!”
“Are you planning something? What’s going to happen now?” Swift asked them, clutching the award and a friendship bracelet from Lance Bass. “There’s something they’re going to do — they’re going to do something and I need to know what it is! You guys — you’re pop personified so to receive this from your golden pop hands really it’s too much.”
The band reunited for voice acting for “Trolls 3: Band Together,” where they voice act as the boy band Brozone, reuniting with their character Branch, played by Timberlake.
*NSYNC worked together on their song “Better Place” for the movie.
Timberlake’s sixth solo album “Everything I Thought It Was,” will be released on Friday, March 15.
