"I saw an ENTERTAINER tonight! @justintimberlake #Justinrcredible," Garth wrote on Instagram after the show.
Justin and Garth hung out a few weeks ago and posted a photo of them together on Instagram with the caption, "One of my IDOLS. Garth... You are a MASTER of your craft. I am in awe of you, still."
Justin was a part of, NSYNC, one of the most successful acts in the world during the late 90's. He decided to go solo and shared with Oprah about his mindset during that time. "I would wake up every morning feeling this more and more of an urge to step out onto my own and try my own hand as a musician," explains Justin. "It's one of the best-slash-worst things that I have ever done because it was bittersweet, it was hard to kind of say goodbye to that era, but I felt it changing. I felt music changing. And I felt myself changing."
In 2002, Justin Timberlake released his first solo album Justified and it was clear his solo venture would be a success.
Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2013. Timberlake's work has earned him nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards.
