Timberlake repeatedly attempted to pull his shirt down to cover the mishap, but the moment did not go unnoticed.

A concertgoer shared the clip on TikTok, where it has now amassed over 7 million views.

TikTok users flooded the comments section with reactions to the incident.

“The way my jaw dropped. NO ONE told him during rehearsals? Oof,” one user commented.

“Him constantly trying to cover it with his shirt ,” another wrote, while others joked, “It’s like he felt us staring when you zoomed bc he immediately started grabbing down his shirt.”

Other comments poked fun at the moment, with one saying, “Money can’t buy everything,” while another added, “Not sure I needed this type of let down.”

Some fans also referenced Timberlake’s past run-ins with controversy, asking, “Will this ruin the tour?”

The comment was a callback to Timberlake’s now-infamous statement during his DWI arrest earlier this year, when he reportedly told police the incident would “ruin the tour.”

Timberlake is currently in the middle of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which began in April and supports his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought I Was.

The tour is set to run through July 2025, concluding in Paris.

This isn’t the first time Timberlake’s tour has made headlines.

In October, Timberlake faced backlash from fans after postponing a performance in Newark, NJ, minutes before the doors were set to open. The singer cited an injury as the reason for the sudden cancellation.

“I’m so disappointed to not see you all — but I’m working to reschedule ASAP. I promise to make it up to you and give you the show y’all deserve. Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always,” Timberlake said in a statement on Instagram.

Later in October, Timberlake postponed additional shows from October 23 to November 2, citing bronchitis and laryngitis.

He then canceled a December 2 performance in New Orleans due to back pain, continuing a string of issues that have impacted the tour’s schedule.

Timberlake’s viral wardrobe mishap also comes months after his June DWI arrest in the Hamptons.

Timberlake was pulled over for running a stop sign, and police reported that he failed field sobriety tests.

During the arrest, the singer reportedly told the officer his detention would “ruin the tour,” to which the officer replied, “What tour?” Timberlake answered, “The world tour.”

The “SexyBack” singer eventually reached a plea agreement, pleading guilty to a reduced charge of driving while alcohol impaired, which avoided a felony conviction.

Timberlake was ordered to complete 25 hours of community service as part of the deal.

Despite recent setbacks and viral moments, Timberlake’s tour continues to draw significant attention as he performs across the country and prepares for international dates.

Fans remain eager to see how the remainder of the Forget Tomorrow World Tour unfolds as it heads toward its 2025 conclusion.
