Ariana Grande Reunites N Sync At Coachella Without Justin Timberlake

Ariana Grande tore up the stage and our hearts at Coachella on Sunday with a surprise N Sync reunion.

The pop star has made it abundantly clear that she appreciates a good throwback, so who better to join her for one of the biggest performances of her career than the chart-topping 90s boy band?

Four of the five original band members Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass joined Grande onstage in Indio, California, on Sunday night. The only one missing was Justin Timberlake, who recently wrapped up his own world tour.

Ive been rehearsing my whole motherfucking life for this moment, Grande, 25, told the crowd before welcoming N Sync to the stage.

The singer, who is the only the fourth woman to headline Coachella after Bjrk, Lady Gaga and Beyonc, famously sampled the bands track It Makes Me Ill from their 2000 album No Strings Attached on her single Break Up With Your Girlfriend, Im Bored.

The group joined Grande for the song and then launched into a rendition of their 1997 smash hit Tearin Up Your Heart, with Grande lending a hand for the Timberlake-heavy sections.

Grande had teased the collaboration on social media earlier in the week, posting a video of herself watching an N Sync concert as a kid in her mothers arms.

Fatone and Bass shared their thanks with Grande on Instagram after the performance with behind-the-scenes photos of the crew preparing for the big show.
