It was their first appearance together in ten years and it happened last night at the VMA Awards. I suppose these guys were a big deal for their generation, but I think this description on MTV.com is a little over the top...
In what is sure to be the reunion heard 'round the world, 'N Sync appeared on stage at the 2013 Video Music Awards as part of Justin Timberlake's career-spanning performance in honor of his Michael Jackson Vanguard Award win. In the midst of a massive performance encompassing JT's entire canon, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez rose from the floor in smoky silhouette, appearing alongside Timberlake to perform "Girlfriend" and "Bye Bye Bye." Taylor Swift looked faint. Lady Gaga undulated in her clamshell bra. The crowd, as a whole, erupted into applause. And, after performing snippets of the two jams, the quartet retreated back into the shadows.
See what I mean? The video is here. I take issue with calling these songs "jams", but to each his own.
