Watching NSYNC reunite on stage at the VMAs was a very, very exciting moment for anyone who grew up in the 90s - including Taylor Swift.
The iconic boyband walked onto the stage to deafening screams from the crowd as stars and ticket holders erupted into noise. Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick made the surprise appearance to present the Best Pop Award.
But the camera panned straight to Taylor, who couldn't control her delight, jumping up and down and covering her mouth in shock.
One fan wrote: "Taylor Swift is every millennial reacting to *NSYNC reuniting."
Another added: "Taylor Swift fangirling over nsync is soooooooooo me she’s just a girlie pop like me."

A thing commented: "Taylor fangirling over *NSYNC that’s our millennial queen."
And the night got even more exciting for Taylor when the boys then announced she had won the award, calling her up onto stage to get her award for her hit Anti-Hero. As she got on stage, each of the band handed her a friendship bracelet which just added to Taylor's happiness. She admitted she was struggling with the excitement, telling the group she had "had their dolls" when she was younger.
She went on to ask if the band would be doing a performance of any kind, but they didn't answer.
Later in the evening Taylor was back on stage as she was named the winner of the Song of the Year award, saying the night was "rocking her world".
The band, famous for their hits Bye, Bye, Bye, Tearin' Up My Heart and I Want You Back, split in 2004 when Justin reportedly wanted to focus on his solo career. The rest of the group carried on without him, but they split for good in 2007.
