Two of the biggest boy bands of the late ’90s reunited in a surprise moment in Las Vegas this week. JC Chasez of *NSYNC was spotted backstage with the Backstreet Boys during their concert at the Sphere, creating a nostalgic crossover for fans. The meeting brought together icons who once defined an entire pop era for millions around the world.

JC attended the show as a guest and was welcomed warmly by the Backstreet Boys. He also enjoyed the night in the company of friends and colleagues. The outing has caught attention because *NSYNC has not performed a reunion show in years.

The backstage reunion between JC Chasez and the Backstreet Boys has sparked a wave of fan speculation. Though no official plans have been revealed, seeing the two pop powerhouses together has ignited excitement and raised hopes that something new could be on the horizon.


*NSYNC's JC Chasez at the Sphere

JC Chasez watched the Backstreet Boys’ show from the private suite of James Dolan. Dolan owns the Sphere, Madison Square Garden, and the New York Knicks. The suite gave JC a direct view of the concert and a chance to enjoy the show without distraction.

Before the concert, JC went to dinner with his girlfriend, Jenn. His manager, Eric Podwall, and Ryan Abboushi, President of Entertainment for MGM Resorts, also joined the meal. The group later made their way to the Sphere for the show.

At the venue, JC posed for pictures with all five Backstreet Boys members. He was seen smiling alongside Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, and Howie Dorough. The gathering showed respect between the two groups despite their long history as rivals in the pop world.

The Backstreet Boys continue to tour and perform for their fans. Their shows have been well-received and draw large crowds. JC Chasez’s appearance at their concert may serve as a reminder that fans still hope to see *NSYNC return to the stage.

An *NSYNC reunion has been a topic of discussion for years. While the group came together briefly in 2023 for a new song, no full tour or show has been planned. JC has often been seen as the least interested in returning, which makes his time at the Backstreet Boys concert notable.

Whether this backstage moment will change anything is still unknown. But JC’s presence at the event shows that he is open to supporting fellow performers. Fans will now be watching closely to see if his experience in Las Vegas inspires movement toward an *NSYNC project.
