However, Variety look like they’ve cleared the air, reporting an insider’s take: Timberlake greeted Megan saying, “It’s so nice to meet you,” to which she responded, “No, no this don’t count, this don’t count. We gotta meet proper.”
The moment wasn’t the sole highlight of the night, with NSYNC reuniting on stage to give Taylor Swift her Best Pop award.
An ecstatic Swift mentioned that she had the band’s dolls and queried about their future plans. Meanwhile, Megan and Cardi B brought the house down with their performance of “Bongos”. Megan’s other nominations include best choreography and direction for her hit “Her”.
