Justin Timberlake’s fans were so engrossed in their phones that they didn’t notice the star singing inches from their faces.
A video of the missed opportunity was released on Sunday and quickly went viral. The clip showed an energetic Timberlake performing his song ‘Flame’ at the Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop in Montreal. He noticed that the fan was engrossed in her phone and moved closer to her face. She did not notice and continued using the device until he disrespected her and left. And she deserved to be treated poorly.

I’m sure everyone has suffered from someone’s phone addiction at some point, but this woman has taken it to a whole other level and is probably blaming herself in remorse. I hope she feels the burn and learns a lesson here, but I think that’s unlikely.
What’s the point of attending a Timberlake concert if you’re so absorbed in it that you’re so engrossed in your phone that you don’t even notice that the megastar is singing into your face? Or? Perhaps this would be a fan’s dream come true, but internet addiction has made that opportunity a huge waste.

It’s sad to see this, especially considering how much this opportunity meant to other, more deserving fans. Timberlake concert tickets are expensive, but this girl took for granted something that many others can’t afford.
The best part of this video is her reaction when Timberlake dumped her. She craved his attention, but it was too little, too late, and she was despised. The instant karma was complete. Hats off to the famous singer who handled it in his own way.(Related: ‘Get The F*ck Out!’: Bebe Rexha kicks fans out of concert)
Seriously, fans, put down your phone and enjoy this lucky moment.
