Justin Timberlake’s Concert Mishap Goes Viral on TikTok

A recent concert by the renowned singer Justin Timberlake in Montreal has gained viral attention on TikTok following an amusing interaction between the pop star and a distracted fan. During Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop at the Bell Centre on October 4, the 43-year-old artist approached the front row while performing his hit song “Flame”. However, one fan in the audience, seemingly engrossed in her phone, missed the opportunity to engage with Timberlake.

As Timberlake neared the stage’s edge amidst a crowd of excited fans, he attempted to capture the attention of the phone-absorbed attendee. Despite being directly in front of her, the fan failed to look up until nudged by her fellow concertgoers. By the time she realized Timberlake’s presence, he had already begun to walk away, prompting her to reach out in vain and display a dramatic response.

The incident, recorded and shared on TikTok, has amassed nearly half a million “likes” and over 4.8 million views. Comments on the platform humorously speculated on the woman’s inattentiveness, with one user quipping, “When you’re too busy texting and miss Justin Timberlake singing ‘Flame’ right in front of you.”

In another memorable moment during the same concert, Timberlake acknowledged his wife, actress Jessica Biel, as the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary. Biel, present at the event, received a heartfelt shoutout from Timberlake who declared it “a very special evening” for them. He playfully addressed the audience, asking them to be kind to Biel as she shared the night with them.

Beyond the Montreal performance, Timberlake proceeded with his tour, stopping at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on October 7. The concert included a romantic surprise proposal facilitated by Timberlake himself, which added to the evening’s highlights.

The Forget Tomorrow World Tour is scheduled to continue across North America until February 3, 2025, before heading to Latin America and Europe. Timberlake’s performances are in support of his latest album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” released in March this year.
