Justin Timberlake: He even took a picture with his hero
As Taste of Country noted, Timberlake told the crowd about going to the Brooks show before launching into the country hit. The former 'N SYNC leader's voice brings a smooth, soul vibe to the song, but Timberlake lets the frenzied audience take over for the chorus. Check it out in the fan-shot footage below.
Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience was one of the best-selling albums last year, beating out Eminem and Luke Bryan.
The singer spoke with Rolling Stone last year about his monster album and how his other profession helped with its creation.
"In some ways, it's made me take a slightly different approach to storytelling in some of my songs," he said. "I'm gonna put a lot of music out over the course of the year and some songs have become really concept-driven; some songs have become a simple idea that turns into something big. And songs, you write them different every time — you get an idea for a song and you go, "Okay, I want to turn this idea into something."
