Justin Timberlake is being more cautious on stage following a wardrobe mishap during his Nashville performance that sparked a social media frenzy.
The pop star performed at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City on Friday night as part of his “Forget Tomorrow” world tour, wearing a noticeably longer shirt to avoid a repeat of the incident.
During the show, Timberlake performed hits like “Mirrors” while donning the same harness he wore during his Nashville concert.
However, this time, the longer hem of his shirt covered his lower half, preventing fans from getting an unintended glimpse of what many on social media had humorously dubbed “Lil Justin.”
This precaution follows an awkward moment earlier this month when fans at the Nashville show captured videos that quickly went viral.
The footage, which left little to the imagination, led to a flurry of unflattering comments about Timberlake’s wardrobe malfunction and his physique.
With the outfit adjustment, Timberlake appears to be moving past the controversy. For fans in Kansas City, it was all about the music and performance—no unexpected distractions. It seems Timberlake is bringing SexyBack on his own terms this time, by keeping things covered.
