Chris Kirkpatrick, JT, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone are reportedly in talks for a hotly anticipated reunion as *NSYNC

*NSYNC could well be “getting the band back together”.

Chris Kirkpatrick has opened up about reunion plans, teasing that it’s very much happening soon as he hopes to meet up with his ’90s boyband co-stars JT, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone in the near future, speaking to TMZ.

He’s apparently “working on it” and the idea of a stage comeback is “not a categorical no”. Chris tells the outlet that the group coming back together would be “all fun and games because when all five are in the same room, it feels like no time has passed”.

It was last September that every member of *NSYNC appeared together for the first time in over ten years at the MTV Video Music Awards. At the time, show host Nicki Minaj excitedly announced the first presenters of the night – Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick.

Fangirls everywhere were ecstatic to see the 90s boyband, as it was rumoured that they might all be appearing but no one wanted to get their hopes up. One fangirl in particular was Taylor Swift, who stood up and threw her hands in the air as the band took the stage. She looked around and covered her mouth with her hands in excitement.

Her night got even better as the band announced that she was the winner of the Best Pop Video award for the music video for her song Anti-Hero. Taylor ran to the stage and hugged every member of the boyband. In return, each member gave her a friendship bracelet, a trend that was started by her fans on her Eras tour.

Swifties, as they call themselves, make and trade friendship bracelets at her shows. and the trend has made its way to other musicians’ tours. The Love Story singer accepted the Moonman statue from Lance still in a shocked trance. “I’m not doing well pivoting to this to this,” she said as she motioned towards the boyband and then to the award. “I had your dolls,” she told the band in a star-struck tone.

Fans on Twitter seemed to be just as shaken up as Taylor. One said: “Someone sedate me.” Another person tweeted: “I can’t stop crying. I’m a f—– mess. Holy s—. I’m so overwhelmed.” Other fans expressed how long they’ve been waiting for this, with one writing: “I have been waiting 22 years for an nsync reunion and I am not doing well.” The last NSYNC album, Girlfriend, was released in 2001.
