• Taylor Swift freaked out seeing NSYNC reunite to present her an award at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
• In 2008, the "Midnights" singer revealed that Justin Timberlake was one of her musical crushes.

Taylor Swift was one of the big winners at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday, scooping up the trophy for best video for "Anti-Hero," as well as best pop video, song of the year, and best direction.

The singer was presented the award for best pop video by boy band NSYNC, who reunited on stage especially for the VMAs. Swift was noticeably starstruck by seeing the group, which includes Justin Timberlake, back together.

She said: "I'm not doing well pivoting from this to this... I had your dolls! Like, are you doing something? What's gonna happen now? They're gonna do something and I need to know what it is! You guys, you're pop personified, so to receive this from your golden pop hands, it's too much. Thank you for the friendship bracelets."

But this isn't the first time that Swift and Timberlake have been supportive of each other. Here is what they've said about each other in the past.
