Tim McGraw Looks Back on Duet With NSYNC Amid Reunion Rumors
Tim McGraw is buying into the NSYNC reunion rumors, and he wants to be a part of their big comeback!
The country crooner took to Instagram yesterday, Sept. 13, where he reflected on a 2001 duet (sextet?) with the beloved boy band, where the group—featuring, of course, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick—belted out a cover of "Stand By Me" with the "Something Like That" singer there to support.
On the social media platform, McGraw sat enamored as he watched a clip of the performance, which he said was "better than [he] remembered it being."
"I was nervous as heck trying to sing with those guys," he admitted. "You notice, when they're doing three-part or four-part harmonies, or five-part, whatever they're doing, I stayed out of that mess, 'cause I would have screwed that up big time."
Despite "staying in [his] lane" back then, he said it was a "highlight of [his] career to sing with those guys."
Now that rumors abound of a reunion between the band after twenty-some-odd years, McGraw is throwing his hat into the ring, suggesting, "Maybe we can do this again sometime."
"Omg!!!!!!!!!! I remember this so clearly," McGraw's daughter Gracie commented in response, leading Bass to joke, "weren’t you 2??! Lol." She was, in fact, six years old at the time.
So far, we have confirmation that the "Bye Bye Bye" heartbreakers are releasing their first song in decades as a part of the soundtrack for the upcoming film Trolls Band Together, but fans are naturally itching for more.
"Even Tim McGraw wants back in with NSYNC!!! If he’s pushing for a reunion y’all better do it!!" one demanded.
So, tour when?
