In a moment of early 2000s nostalgia gold that we recently uncovered, Justin Timberlake [1] once surprised his then-girlfriend Britney Spears [2] on live TV. Standing beside Carson Daly during an MTV special, Britney started blushing when JT surprised her on stage, and the diehard fans [3] in the crowd absolutely lost it (understandably so). The former pop power couple laughed as Carson introduced footage from their Mickey Mouse Club days, and after teasing Britney a bit, Justin said, "We were best friends," adding, "We always got along."

It's been a long time since the singers shared a stage, but rumors of a possible collaboration [4] have stirred up excitement. Cut to fans everywhere scrolling through throwback pictures of Britney and Justin [5], who continue to give us tunnel vision [6].
