Justin Timberlake’s recent Nashville concert struck the internet with a wardrobe malfunction. On December 12, 2024, during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop at Bridgestone Arena, Timberlake found himself in a rather awkward spot while performing his smash hit Mirrors.
The culprit was a rebellious stage harness that opted to make his groin the center of attention. Things took a funny twist when a fan recorded Timberlake adjusting his harness in a manner that left him exposed on TikTok.
This led to an internet meltdown, memes, and laughs. Sharing one of his other such moments, a user ironically stated: "This picture disagrees. Maybe it was cold that night."
In an IYKYK twist, a uuser said: "Britney never lies she already told us this."
A user mentioned: "His name should be Justin lake since he’s got no wood."
Citing Britney Spears' lyrics, a user humorously wrote: "hit me baby one more time indeed, lol!"
A well-wisher highlighted: "Man is having a rough year."
"Y'all will not let Mr JT live this year huh??", a user commented.
Justin Timberlake's wardrobe malfunction
As the harness failed during his performance, Timberlake did his best to save himself by quickly grabbing on a t-shirt. Spoiler: It didn’t work.
Viewers cheered in the stadium, while others watched the episode online, where the video has received more than 7 million hits. Social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) are flooded with cheeky comments.
It was Justin Timberlake’s Oops, I did it again! moment (no pun intended). For longtime Timberlake followers, the moment brought instant déjà vu—flashbacks to the 2004 Super Bowl “Nipplegate” incident with Janet Jackson.
That unforgettable halftime show left a lasting pop culture footprint and sparked endless debates about who was to blame. But while that wardrobe malfunction had a sultry edge, this one leaned more toward sitcom territory.
A bumpy tour for Justin Timberlake
Timberlake’s tour has not been without its fair share of troubles. The Forget Tomorrow World Tour has had initially one or two mishaps in December because of his struggles against bronchitis and laryngitis.
So far, Timberlake has not said anything about the incident (although people are expecting him to make fun of it in the next Insta-story). At the same time, he is preparing for the next show in St. Louis to take place in January 2025.
A Super Bowl throwback
Talking about viral moments, one of the first wardrobe malfunctions with Justin Timberlake was the controversy of the year. It was the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII televised in 2004, where Timberlake was performing with Janet Jackson.
The performance reached its pinnacle as he sang Rock Your Body and by doing so, flashed Jackson’s breast (which had a nipple shield) for a mere 9/16 on live television. That moment which became known as “Nipplegate” went down in history as one of the significant pop-culture accidents of the early 2000s.
