NSYNC previously sent fans into a frenzy when they reunited at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, where they presented the award for Best Pop Video to Taylor Swift – who was shocked to see the boy band take the stage together.
As they addressed the crowd, Chasez said, “Hello VMAs! More than twenty years ago we were just kids won the award for best pop video for Bye-bye bye. It was our first VMA and it meant the world to us.”
“That award validated our hard work and, well, we might have won for Pop again,” before asking, “Do you remember that?” Kirkpatrick stepped in to add.
Bass then added, “A lot has changed in the past 20 years, but the one thing that remains the same is that a creative, groundbreaking video leaves a lasting impression for decades.”
“We just wanted to thank you, MTV, and especially all of you. Thank you so much, each and every one of you, for supporting your favorite music artists. Thanks guys,” Fatone said.
They have reunited in the past during their performance at the 2013 VMAs and in 2018 for the band’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame induction ceremony.

He added, “In March we decided to, you know, get back together and have some fun, and it was like no time had passed.”
Bass then admitted, “But there were a lot of tears. They were just tears of joy. And it was just a beautiful moment. Time means so much, and it just feels good to finally be together.”
Regarding whether NSYNC has any plans to release more music or tour in the near future, Lance revealed, “I’ve told fans that we don’t have any solid plans right now.”
“Because, you know, we’re waiting for the strike to end. We have things to do. But (the fans are) definitely shaping our future,” the singer added.
