While *NSYNC was making fans’ dreams come true on-stage with their first reunion performance in over a decade, Travis Kelce was also contributing to the memories backstage.
The Chiefs tight end posed for a photo with *NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick’s young son, Nash, likely fulfilling a bucket list moment for the 6-year-old.
Kirkpatrick’s wife, Karlyn Skladany, shared the sweet photo—which showed Travis in a patterned sweater holding up a shaka sign with his hand and leaning down toward the boy, who had a grin plastered from ear to ear— on her Instagram Story, writing, “Something big happened tonight.”
The photo was then shared by a Travis Kelce fan account on X (formerly Twitter), with the caption, “Soooo stinkin cute!!!”

But that wasn’t the only big moment that happened on the evening of March 13 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The one-night-only show promoting Justin Timberlake’s upcoming sixth studio album, Everything I Thought I Was, which drops on March 15, found his fellow boy band members joining him on stage, effectively sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and JC Chasez joined Timberlake on stage singing the chorus from the group’s hit 2001 single, “Gone,” before launching into classics "Girlfriend," “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” and slowing things down by previewing their brand-new song, “Paradise.”

Travis was in attendance for the “absolutely iconic” show, as one fan referred to the evening, sans girlfriend Taylor Swift—who previously freaked out over *NSYNC handing her an award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in September.
During Thursday's intimate concert, the NFL star was seen grooving to Timberlake’s “Sanctified” in an Instagram Story posted by music producer Khris Riddick-Tynes.
Travis and Timberlake have been friends for quite some time, with the latter recently recalling a Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament at Edgewood Tahoe South they both took part in.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Timberlake recalled the celebration following Fallon’s hole-in-one, noting that Kelce was so amped that he ran toward him to do a chest bump, which knocked him to the ground, causing him to do a near-perfect backward somersault.
"While that might not look like much, my neck, for like a week," he said, indicating his muscles had locked up as a result of the hit from the 6'5 footballer.
Previously, Travis also called JT the most famous person in his contacts list, proving that this friendship was built to last.
