NSYNC made a surprise appearance at the MTV's 2023 VMA's shocking life-long fans - including Taylor Swift - as the iconic '90s boyband took the stage to present the Best Pop Award.
The group of five, made up of Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, and Joey Fatone, were met with an eruption of applause as they joined together for the first time in years. But fans were soon filled with anger and great disappointment when they discovered that the five singers were not reuniting for a performance or to announce a comeback.
And it was Taylor who ended up picking up the gong, but not before she shared in the thrill of all fans as she jumped with joy at the famous singers reuniting on stage. Taylor said what all fans were thinking when she was presented with the award onstage asking the group: "What's going to happen now? They're doing something and I need to know what it is. You're pop personified so to receive this from your golden pop hands - it's too much."
