Travis Kelce had a special encounter at Justin Timberlake's concert. The 34-year-old was seen at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 13. Timberlake, 43, surprised the audience by bringing out his former 'NSync bandmates - Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick - for a performance of their song "Paradise."

In pictures posted by Karlyn Skladany, the wife of Kirkpatrick, Kelce looked very happy while taking a photo with their 6-year-old son, Nash. Skladany shared a sneak peek of Kelce with his arm around Nash, saying, “Something exciting happened tonight,” on Instagram Story.

Kelce and Timberlake have a history together, with Timberlake remembering a time when he was knocked down by Kelce during a golf tournament in Las Vegas.

Timberlake revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January that he tried to mimic a move his friend did. He mentioned, "He went up and did one of those side body bumps, you know, when they jump. I was like, 'He’s doing it. I have to do it.' And I forgot that he weighs, like, 80 lbs. more than me."

Host Jimmy Fallon joked that Timberlake “basically got tackled” before showing a video of the incident.

Timberlake mentioned that his neck felt stiff for around a week after the encounter with Kelce. He also mentioned that people were asking him what happened, and he praised Kelce as one of the nicest guys ever.

At Wednesday's concert, Kelce had a special moment as he watched 'NSync perform together for the first time in more than ten years.

The boy band 'NSync was formed in 1995 and rose to fame with popular songs like “Bye Bye Bye” and “Tearin Up My Heart.” In 2007, Bass announced that the group had decided to go their separate ways to pursue individual projects.

Since then, 'NSync has worked together on various new tracks, such as “Better Place” featured in the third Trolls movie. Recently, Bass gave a sneak peek of their upcoming project in an exclusive interview with We magazine.

The song 'Paradise' was recorded a while back and we have kept it a secret until now. It has been tough to keep this secret," he mentioned. "I am thrilled that [Justin] has confirmed it because now I can finally talk about 'Paradise.'

Bass expressed that the new track has quickly become one of his most beloved songs that we have recorded together.

My mom and I both got emotional when we first listened to it. Justin's full album is amazing, so I feel privileged to have an 'NSync song on this new album. I believe this album will be a big hit, and fans will love it. It really captures that classic 'NSync sound, especially the harmonies.

Bass also shared his thoughts on the possibility of the band reuniting for a more official project.

"We're keeping our options open at the moment," he shared with Us. "Our main priority is Justin's album and upcoming tour. We want to make sure he gets through that successfully because it's going to be a challenging journey. Our focus right now is to support him wholeheartedly. As for what comes next, we're optimistic about the future."
