I can’t believe this is real. NSYNC reunites for a performance at Justin Timberlake’s pop-up show in Los Angeles last night. What’s even crazier, I have NUMEROUS friends who were there. And not just causal friends. My best friend Joe, my other BFF Colleen, and close friend Raph and Brent!
Last Fall, NSYNC put out a brand new song in almost 20 years called “Better Place” for the Trolls 3 movies. Each member has a role, obviously, Justin Timberlake being the biggest since he’s Branch. Joey Fatone: Plays Ablaze JC Chasez: Plays Hype Lance Bass: Plays Boom, Chris Kirkpatrick: Plays Trickee. The song did fairly well and after they showed up at the MTV VMA’s everyone was convinced an NSYNC Tour was coming. Unfortunately, that never happened. Instead, Justin announced his new album Everything I Thought It Was, and a new single “Selfish.” He also announced a solo World Tour, with no stops in Philly yet, just Hershey. Hopefully, the Philly stop will be when he announces the NSYNC World Tour. Ha.
Last night he did a pop-up show in Los Angeles. He did one in Memphis, his hometown. One in NYC, and he’s doing one in London too. He definitely is trying to create hype, which I get, and nothing creates hype like a boy band reuniting. Justin has been a little meh lately with fans. First, after everything that went down with Britney Spears and then obviously the cheating rumors. Let me preface that they were only rumors and he and Jessica Biel look very happy so hopefully everything has smoothed over. However, I do agree the Justin buzz isn’t the same and he wanted NYSNC to help create it. I don’t get why NSYNC just doesn’t do a reunion tour. People would GO NUTS for it. It would be like the Ears Tour.
Travis Kelce was also there, but unfortunately, Taylor wasn’t. Check out the amazing performances below and let’s all manifest we get an NSYNC Tour soon!
