What better full-circle moment would there be than for Spice, the current princess of pop culture, to sample the former princes of yesteryear?
For those who missed it, Taylor Swift had a meltdown on television last night about the return of *NSYNC to the MTV Video Music Awards. Ice Spice, Swift’s date for the evening, clapped for the 40-somethings onstage and passed a polite glance to Swift to see what all the fuss was about. The fuss, just to be clear, is arguably the most famous boy band of the ’90s, who’ve sold over 34 million records combined.
It’s obvious from the video feeds that Ice Spice eventually figured out what was going on, but the contrast in her mood and Swift’s was thrilling to witness. Swift sits squarely amongst fans who would have loved *NSYNC in the ’90s, well before Ice Spice was even born on January 1, 2000, having just escaped the Y2K disaster.
Some Swifties declared that, in light of Spice’s hilariously nonchalant attitude, the industry might be losing its touch with pop music history—are you even a millennial if you didn’t run crying and screaming into your local Target to buyeven Swift herself would gawk at. Conversely, the Munchkins either asked who *NSYNC was, or cracked jokes about the “chill” icon.
Frankly, I’m somewhere in the middle. Like Swift, I’d have an extreme reaction to Justin Timberlake’s presence, if only to run up on him screaming Likewise, I vibe with Spice’s nonchalant approach to the presence of men in her vicinity, even pop legends like *NSYNC.
