Joey Fatone spills tea on *NSYNC's VMAs reunion and Taylor Swift's fangirl reaction
POV: Brace yourselves, folks! Grab a tissue, because the ’90s boy band sensation, *NSYNC, just made an epic comeback at this year’s VMAs. You read that right, it’s not a dream, it’s reality! On September 12, our favorite heartthrobs reunited onstage after years apart, and the nostalgia was off the charts. And if you thought things couldn’t get more iconic, they presented an award for Best Pop and handed it to none other than the incredible Taylor Swift. Can we just take a moment to appreciate this priceless reaction from Tay-Tay? She was totally losing it!
But wait, there’s more! The *NSYNC gang, consisting of Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez, caught up with the sensational “Anti-Hero” singer backstage at the VMAs. Taylor was completely caught off guard, and her jaw hit the floor. I mean, who would’ve expected those boys to show up? It was a pleasant shock that even Taylor couldn’t comprehend.
According to Joey Fatone, who spilled the beans to ET Canada at ’90s Con in Tampa, Florida, our angelic Taylor Swift is an absolute sweetheart. After they presented the award and walked away, Taylor approached them with a baffled expression and exclaimed, “What the hell are you guys doing here?” It’s safe to say she had absolutely no clue about their surprise appearance. Talk about catching someone off guard!
But hold your horses, my friends, because there’s even more amazing news! *NSYNC is blessing us with a brand new song called “Better Place” for the upcoming Trolls Band Together soundtrack. Can you believe it? It’s been 20 long years since their last song, and the excitement is through the roof! Unfortunately, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes, their promotional activities are somewhat restricted. But fear not, because Joey couldn’t help but gush about the tremendous fan reaction to their reunion, which, lucky for us, Justin Timberlake captured on Instagram.

JT, who stars as Branch in the beloved Trolls franchise, shared a heartwarming video from their studio session and referred to his fellow bandmates as his “brothers.” Cue the tears as we melt in the warmth of his sentiment. 🥲
Now, here’s the best part. As fans got nostalgic and teary-eyed watching the video, *NSYNC themselves were completely in “let’s get to work” mode. For them, the reunion was a breeze. They knew exactly what they were doing, no need for rehearsals or refreshing their memories. It’s like riding a bike—they hadn’t forgotten a thing! Oh, the sheer natural talent and chemistry!
Just in case you missed it, the band (minus JT) previously reunited in 2019 during Ariana Grande’s headline Coachella set. They delivered an electrifying mashup of her hit songs “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” and “It Makes Me Ill,” accompanied by their timeless classic “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” And now, in 2023, we can finally celebrate a full-on reunion with Mr. Timberlake himself. Can I get a “woo-hoo”?
