"Be careful what you wish for! Just one day after Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that the highly anticipated &amp;apos;N Sync reunion would definitely be taking place at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, the boy band came out with an official Twitter account on Saturday, Aug. 24.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Mic check, mic check one.. two... is this thing on?!&amp;quot; the first tweet simply read.\r\nThe account immediately started a frenzy, and quickly gained thousands of followers. The profile -- urging fans to follow members Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass -- officially got verified two hours later.\r\n\r\nTimberlake also shared a part of his performance outfit via Instagram within the same hour of the Twitter surprise. &amp;quot;Counting down to the VMAs,&amp;quot; he captioned with a picture of his white and silver shoes.\r\n\r\n&amp;apos;N Sync is expected to perform &amp;quot;Bye Bye Bye&amp;quot; from their 2000 album No Strings Attached and &amp;quot;will reenact some of their greatest videos in a medley,&amp;quot; a source told Us of the reunion. &amp;quot;Then Justin will sing his new song &amp;apos;Take Back the Night&amp;apos; and get his [Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award].&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe group&amp;apos;s last television performance was during a Grammy Awards tribute to the Bee Gees in 2003 -- three years before Twitter even existed. The social site was created in March 2006.&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe MTV Video Music Awards air live on Sunday, Aug. 25, at 9 p.m. EST."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
