Justin Timberlake may have brought the hits to Nashville — but it was his lower half that stole the internet’s attention.
The Grammy-winning star, 43, went viral last week after an awkward wardrobe moment during his show at Bridgestone Arena. While performing “Mirrors,” Timberlake wore a tight, fitted harness that left very little to the imagination — and fans noticed immediately.
A concertgoer shared a TikTok clip capturing the moment, showing a very visible bulge near Timberlake’s groin. In the video, the singer can be seen repeatedly tugging his shirt downward in what looked like a not-so-subtle attempt to cover the situation.
The clip has since racked up more than 7 million views, with TikTok users having a field day in the comments.
“The way my jaw dropped. NO ONE told him during rehearsals?” one fan wrote.
“Him constantly trying to cover it with his shirt 😭😭,” another added.
“It’s like he felt us staring when you zoomed in and immediately grabbed his shirt 😭😅,” someone joked.
Others were less forgiving: “Money can’t buy everything,” one comment read, while another asked, “What was the thought process here? Was this not rehearsed at all?”
Naturally, a few fans couldn’t resist referencing Timberlake’s infamous run-in with police over the summer, joking, “Will this ruin the tour?”
Timberlake is currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which launched in April in support of his sixth album, Everything I Thought It Was. The global trek is scheduled to wrap in Paris in July 2025.
The tour hasn’t been without its bumps. In October, Timberlake faced backlash after postponing a Newark, New Jersey show just minutes before doors opened, citing an injury. Later that month, he delayed several dates due to bronchitis and laryngitis, and ultimately canceled a December 2 show in New Orleans because of back pain.
Earlier this year, Timberlake also made headlines after taking a plea deal following his June DWI arrest in the Hamptons. He ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired, avoided a felony, and was sentenced to 25 hours of community service.
During the arrest, Timberlake famously told the officer the situation would “ruin the tour.” When asked which tour, he replied, “The world tour.”
Turns out, that tour survived — though one Nashville outfit may now live forever on TikTok.
