Megan, who performed her hit "Bongos" alongside Cardi B during the awards ceremony, made headlines when she crossed paths with Timberlake backstage. In a viral video shared on social media, it seemed like Megan was upset with Timberlake, pointing and shaking her head as he approached.

Taylor Swift Shines at MTV VMAs 2023

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards featured a star-studded lineup, and Taylor Swift was among the evening's big winners. The event took place at the Prudential Center on September 12, celebrating its 40th annual edition.

Moments before the memorable Megan-Timberlake exchange, Timberlake's former band 'NSync, consisting of JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick, graced the main stage. They presented the award for Best Pop Video, reminiscing about their win over 20 years ago.

Timberlake announced Taylor Swift as the winner of her first award of the night. Swift, 33, humorously remarked, "I’m not doing well pivoting. Like, I had your dolls. Like, are you doing something? What’s going to happen now? They’re going to do something, and I need to know what it is. You guys are pop personified, and to receive this from your golden pop hands is — really, it’s too much."

In the end, it was a night filled with music, fashion, and some unexpected, but friendly, encounters.
