If you're an avid watcher of Ariana Grande's social media, you may have noticed her dropping hints about 90s boy band NSYNC in the few days ahead of her Coachella set.

And on the night she delivered. Grande brought four of the five original NSYNC band members — minus Justin Timberlake — to perform one of their biggest hits "Tearin' Up My Heart."

Just before the set, the band tweeted a photo of them hanging out with Grande, with the caption "Tune in now."

As well as bringing the nostalgia back for everyone in the audience with the song, Grande and the band also nailed the 90s choreography.

Grande makes no mistake of referencing 90s culture. In her recent tour, she channeled "Clueless" with an updated version of Cher's iconic plaid outfit.

On social media, people loved the throwback, and praised JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass for their voices and harmonies. Some were sad Justin Timberlake wasn't present, but many said it was great seeing the others have their time to shine.

One fan even said that the collaboration was a bigger moment than the series premiere of "Game of Thrones."

Despite some initial confusion about Grande's choice of duet partners, it's clear she is a big fan herself, which brought the performance to life.
