CNA LIFESTYLE – NSync returns after two decades with “Better Place” featured in a trailer for the upcoming ‘Trolls Band Together’ movie by DreamWorks Animation. The iconic group, featuring Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone, reunited at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Tuesday night.
A snippet of the song, which is available on September 29, can be heard in the movie trailer, along with NSync’s 1997 track I Want You Back.
The third Trolls movie, which is due to hit cinemas on Nov 17, tells the story of couple Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake).
Poppy discovers Branch was once part of a boyband, BroZone, with his four brothers.
This comes after NSync appeared together at the VMAs on Tuesday, 10 years after their final public performance at the awards show.
They took to the stage to present the Best Pop award, which was one of the nine prizes Taylor Swift took home on the night.
Chasez told the crowd, “Over 20 years ago we were here when we won Best Pop Video for Bye Bye Bye. It was our first VMA and it meant the world to us.”
Kirkpatrick added that “That award validated our hard work.”
A visibly stunned Taylor, who admitted she had dolls of the group during her youth, asked the Tearin’ Up My Heart hit-makers what their plans are for the future.
She said, “Are you doing something? What’s going to happen now? They’re going to do something and I need to know what it is.”
But the quintet remained coy.
She added, “You guys are pop personified so to receive this from your golden pop hands is really, it’s too much.”
It comes after Chasez, Bass, Kirkpatrick and Fatone briefly performed with Timberlake during a medley at the 2013 VMAs, as part of the singer winning the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award that night.
