Justin Timberlake’s world tour has yielded a moment that fans are unlikely to forget tomorrow.

It all went down at the “SexyBack” singer’s Thursday concert in Nashville, while he was performing his set closer, “Mirrors,” PageSix reported. During that number, fans’ attention drifted as Timberlake went from swaying with the popular tune to adjusting his shirt, according to footage that has since gone viral on TikTok.

Justin Timberlake was humble and focused outside court Friday after pleading guilty to a reduced charge in his Sag Harbor DWI case.

The culprit for the ‘NSync alum’s awkward fidgeting, it seems, was a stage harness that was too tight in an inappropriate — and all too visible — place.

A representative for Timberlake did not reply immediately Tuesday to The Times’ request for comment.

“The way my jaw dropped. Honey NO ONE TOLD HIM during rehearsals?” one user commented on the viral TikTok.

Others took jabs with punchlines that drew from Timberlake’s previous turns in the pop culture spotlight, including the 2004 incident where the term “wardrobe malfunction” was born.

On his first solo album since 2018, the former boy-band star seems blithely unaware of the critique that’s coalesced around him in recent years.

During that year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson’s breast when he ripped off a portion of her costume during their duet of “Rock Your Body.” The pair has since “moved on” from what was then a highly scandalous (and even litigated) incident.
