She can be seen raising her finger and engaging in an animated conversation with Timberlake, who was accompanied by his *NSYNC bandmates. However, according to several sources, the encounter was not as heated as it seemed. One source stated, “Meg loves Justin. She was saying, ‘No, no, no, we’ve never met before.’ It was their first time meeting, and she was excited.” While Megan Thee Stallion appeared irritated with Justin Timberlake backstage at the VMAs in 2023, insiders claim that the exchange was not confrontational.

Taylor Swift was particularly excited about their reunion. Megan Thee Stallion was also present at the award show, performing her new single “Bongos” with Cardi B. During her acceptance speech for Best Pop Video, Taylor Swift expressed her excitement, saying, “I’m not doing well pivoting from this to this. I had your dolls. Are you doing something? What’s going to happen now? They’re going to do something, and I need to know what it is.” Meanwhile, Megan, 28, was at the award show to perform her and Cardi B’s new single, “Bongos.” The energetic performance began with Cardi descending onto the stage atop a massive diamond ball.
