The Backstreet Boys’ Surprise Performance at Balmain x H&M Was EVERYTHING

Backstreet’s back alright! At Balmain and H&M’s fashion show in NYC, models Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn strutted their stuff on the runway before being treating to an unexpected surprise ending—a performance from the Backstreet Boys. Needless to say, our ’90s boyband feels were in full force last night. We also can’t help but wonder why we weren’t invited to this epic event.


The iconic band was well-received by the unsuspecting audience as they performed “Backstreet’s Back,” “Larger Than Life” and “I Want It That Way” without missing a beat. After over 20 years of being a group, we love how much the band seems to enjoy singing and dancing for fans. Check out this video below for proof!

We have a feeling that Kendall and Gigi were a bit excited to be in the presence of BSB…


As it turns, out, famous models can be fangirls just like the rest of us! And it looks like Gigi still can’t get over it. “Life complete…,” she tweeted, after spotting the photo of her and bestie Kendall caught in the act of fangirling.   

Looks like The Backstreet Boys had a blast as well! “Such a pleasure working w/ the amazing @ORousteing. Can’t wait to keep working w/ you in the future. #HMBALMAINATION,” they tweeted after the event.
