Fans who attended the evening performance of the Broadway musical & Juliet on Tuesday night were rewarded with a mini-*NSYNC reunion.

Joey Fatone, who has appeared in & Juliet on Broadway and in the touring production of the show, was in the house on Tuesday night to lead a special singalong. During a performance of *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me,” featuring Joey and the whole cast, none other than Lance Bass popped up at the end to join in the fun. Of course, the audience went nuts.

“It’s Gonna Be Me” is actually a regular part of & Juliet, because the entire show is built around the hits of Max Martin, including “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” “…Baby One More Time,” “I Want It That Way” and more.

According to People, Lance almost didn’t make it, because he was seeing another musical, Titanique, in a different theater. But since that show was just 90 minutes long, Lance was able to run across Times Square and arrive just in time for the performance.

“I almost got hit by six taxicabs, but I made it by the last note!” Lance said in an Instagram video.

To bring the story full circle, Joey is actually a co-producer on Titanique, along with *NSYNC’s JC Chasez and others.

As previously reported, Joey and Lance are co-hosting a new reality competition series on E! this summer called Cocktail Wars, where mixologists face off against each other to win $10,000.

On This Day, May 13, 1970 …

The Beatles documentary Let It Be opened in New York City.

Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the film took Beatles fans inside the studio as they recorded their album Let It Be.

The documentary, which opened in London one week later, included footage from The Beatles’ January 1969 Apple Corps rooftop concert, which was their final public performance as a band. The film was released one month after the Beatles officially broke up.

Footage from Let It Be was used in Peter Jackson’s 2021 Emmy-winning docuseries, The Beatles: Get Back, which aired on Disney+. A restored version of the documentary also debuted on Disney+ in May 2024, which was the first time the movie was available in over 50 years.

In a recent TIME cover story, The Odyssey director Christopher Nolan explained why he cast Travis Scott as a bard in the movie. “I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap,” he said.

Olivia Rodrigo was the surprise guest Tuesday at Disney’s annual Upfront presentation in New York City — and she brought a special guest onstage to sing with her.

As WABC-TV reports, host Jimmy Kimmel and his 11-year-old daughter, Jane, introduced Olivia at the end of the event, during which Disney presented its new slate of programming to advertisers. She performed her new single “drop dead,” as well as “good 4 u” and “get him back!”

As captured in fan-shot video, during “get him back!” Olivia ran into the audience and brought Jane onstage, and the two sang the song together, danced and jumped up and down.

Olivia’s presence at the event wasn’t a surprise given her Disney history: Before she became a global pop superstar, she starred in the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark, followed by her star-making stint in the Disney+ show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

The Country Music Association is extending its partnership with Disney for six more years, meaning annual specials like CMA Awards, CMA Fest and CMA Country Christmas will air on ABC through 2032. 

The new contract adds an important new aspect, with the 2026 CMA Awards set to stream live on Disney+ for the first time ever. 

“For two decades, Disney has been CMA’s partner in celebrating excellence in country music and bringing its artists and storytelling to audiences around the world,” CMA CEO Sarah Trahern says in a news release. “Extending our collaboration with Disney and expanding the show to livestream on Disney+ marks an exciting next step for CMA, allowing us to reach new audiences while continuing our role in elevating and shaping the genre.”

“As I prepare to retire at the end of the year,” she continues, “ensuring CMA is strongly positioned for the future has remained one of my highest priorities, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together. As we approach The 60th Annual CMA Awards this fall and a new chapter for CMA Fest in the new stadium in 2027, I’m excited for what’s ahead for both CMA and country music.”

The 60th CMAs will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 18, as construction on the new home for the Tennessee Titans continues. 

The first CMA Awards were held in 1967, and the show has gone on to become the longest-running yearly music awards ceremony on broadcast TV.
