Shortly before taking the stage, Timberlake posted a clip of "Paradise" on Instagram - band member Kirkpatrick teased that the song was in the works, writing, "It will be fun to perform it together some time."
The March 13 concert was the band's first live performance since the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, when the band reunited to perform a set of their greatest hits to celebrate Timberlake's Video Vanguard Award.
*NSYNC fans were quick to comment on the surprise reunion. "I'm not crying, you are! Beautiful boys!" one user said on Instagram, while another fan wrote on X: "Can they go to the Super Bowl next year?"
