The absence of Taylor didn’t dampen spirits, though, as Travis and his fellow attendees at Justin’s concert were treated to an unexpected *NSYNC reunion. JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass were all there, belting out their old tracks.
The five singers relived their glory boyband days with hits like 'Bye Bye Bye' and 'It’s Gonna Be Me.' They also debuted their new song 'Paradise.'
“You have an album coming out tomorrow. And on that album, there’s a song…” JC said on stage.
“… By *NSYNC,” Justin said before they performed the ballad for the audience.
Sources told TMZ that Travis met the *NSYNC members in the hallway backstage after their performance.
Travis even took a moment to pose with Chris’ 6-year-old son, Nash.

“Something big happened tonight,” Chris’ wife, Karly Skladany, wrote as she shared the sweet moment on an Instagram story.
Travis and Justin are known to be longtime friends. The 'Can't Stop the Feeling' singer once even narrated an incident where he was once “basically tackled” by the 6-foot, 5-inch-tall athlete.

“I saw my life flash before my eyes,” the musician said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “He went up and did one of those, you know, when they jump. And I was like, ‘He’s doing it. I have to do it.’ I forgot that he weighs, like, 80 pounds more than me.”
“Yeah, and [he] basically tackled [you]!” Jimmy quipped.
"He's the best, by the way. [One of the] nicest guys ever,” Justin added while speaking about the Kansas City Chiefs star.
Travis recently spoke about traveling to Singapore to support his girlfriend during her Eras Tour.

"I got to see two amazing shows of the Eras Tour," Travis shared with his brother Jason on an episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast.
"The last of the leg that Taylor has until she's back at it here in a couple of months. But yeah outside of that, got to get some lovely Singapore food and just catch the views," he added.
