No Bye Bye Bye Here: NSYNC Just Reunited at the MTV VMAs

(SPOT.ph) It's gotta be *NSYNC. The boy band reunited at the MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night in the U.S., exactly the same awards show they were last together at in 2013. Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick went on stage to present Taylor Swift an award. While they didn't perform, nope not any of their hits, their presence (and their interaction with the pop queen) was more than enough to point towards a possible comeback.

NSYNC reunites at 2023 MTV VMAs

"The unstoppable Taylor Swift" said Timberlake as he announced the Midnights artist win for the "Anti-Hero" music video. Taylor, like all the rest of us boyband-weak fans, was seen a little shook at seeing all five together on stage again.

When Swift accepted the award, she added in a little something for the rest of us. "I’m not doing well pivoting from this to this, like I had I had your dolls,” asking “are you doing something? What’s going to happen now?” The group slyly shrugged in response—with their reaction and the reunion in all fueling whispers that the group is dropping new NSYNC content anytime soon.

An elevator snap of the whole NSYNC group—Timberlake, included!—popped up on Instagram, too. Featuring a very '90s boy-band music video angle (a.k.a. slightly skewed), the clip saw the five hanging out together in the elevator. A cheeky clip of Taylor Swift having a moment in the crowd was also posted, with a hand doing a heart emoji in the caption. Same, Taylor. 

As the Rolling Stone points out, the possible new NSYNC material coming out might be tied to the upcoming Trolls movie; Justin Timberlake voices main character branch. A website tied to the upcoming Trolls Band Together movie features a giant N with a star and, yup, the hair of what appears to be five trolls peeping up from below. With Timberlake also having a song on the 2016 original, "Can't Stop the Feeling!" we've got our fingers crossed the next movie will have a song by the whole NSYNC.
