One of the most iconic boy bands of all time made a grand return to the MTV Video Music Awards, and another music icon got as excited as the rest of us.
The late 1990s/early 2000s pop group NSYNC surprised music fans by making a mini-reunion and presenting the VMA for Best Pop, which went to Taylor Swift for her music video for “Anti-Hero.”
Well, Swift got incredibly excited to see the boy band back together, and the VMA camera caught her in complete shock as the NSYNC five made it to the stage.
We get it, Taylor. We really, really get it. C’mon, it’s NSYNC!

As fate would have it, Swift would eventually get to meet NSYNC on the stage as she was given her VMA.

The members of NSYNC even gave Swift a friendship bracelet to mark the occasion.

Hey, that’s pretty cool. One era of music meets another for a heck of a moment for music fans at this year’s VMAs.
We just hope there’s a collaboration on the way since NSYNC is reportedly going to make new music soon.

Music fans totally felt where Swift was coming from.

The first time I ever really liked/related to Taylor was the day she ABSOLUTELY LOST HER MIND when Justin Timberlake sang “Mirrors” at the VMAs.
This reaction is how she keeps me hooked. https://t.co/XZQCwIJ8MA
