Taylor Swift won the Best Pop Video award for her Anti-Hero music video at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards presented by the iconic boy band NSYNC, who also made a surprise reunion on stage that stunned everyone. The group, whose last new music release was in 2002, came together to present the award to Taylor Swift.
Staying true to their Eras Tour tradition, NSYNC members gifted Taylor Swift with beaded friendship bracelets. The 33-year-old pop sensation, a longtime fan of the band, was moved by their gift and went on to accept the award, marking the first presentation of the night.
Taylor Swift couldn't contain her excitement upon seeing the long-awaited reunion and shared a statement after accepting the award:
"I had your dolls. Like, are you doing something? What's going to happen now ... They're going to do something, and I need to know what it is. You're pop personified, so to receive this from your golden pop hands is really ... it's too much. Thank you for the friendship bracelets."
She concluded with gratitude, saying:
"But I really love making pop music, so thank you so, so much."
Their recent reunion occurred during Coachella in 2019, where Chasez, Fatone, Kirkpatrick, and Bass appeared during Ariana Grande's headline performance. They delighted the audience by performing their classic hits Tearin' Up My Heart and Makes Me Will with Ariana.
