Justin Timberlake has once again become the talk of the internet, this time for a wardrobe adjustment that stole the spotlight. During his concert in Kansas City on December 21, Timberlake debuted a noticeably longer shirt while performing “Mirrors”.

The outfit change followed a viral moment at his Nashville show last week, where a harness and a snugly fitted shirt left the singer grappling with an unexpected bulge situation. Fans quickly documented the Kansas City performance on TikTok, where one user captioned, “No bulge issues now!”.

The viral response has been a mix of humour and support, with one fan joking, “Y’all hurt that man’s feelings, and I’m here for it.”. Others poked fun at the oversized shirt, comparing it to everything from maternity wear to hospital scrubs.

Timberlake is on his Forget Tomorrow world tour, promoting his latest album, Everything I Thought I Was. Despite a few hiccups this year—including a widely publicized DWI arrest over the summer—the tour draws crowds worldwide.

Whether intentional or not, Timberlake’s longer shirt has added a touch of comedy to his live performances. After all, he’s just bringing "SexyBack"—with a little extra fabric this time.
