The singer inadvertently showed off his bulge while he was strapped into a harness during The Forget Tomorrow World Tour—and he's now adjusted the length of his shirt in response.

Sleigh bells weren't the only things jangling this holiday season.

Pop star Justin Timberlake course-corrected his viral wardrobe malfunction that happened at the December 12 show of The Forget Tomorrow World Tour at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.


While performing his 2013 song "Mirrors," the ten-time Grammy winner inadvertently exposed the outline of his crotch while his waist was tightly strapped to a harness.

The safety harness and straps to the deck are meant to secure him as he stands on a rotating platform that hovers and tilts above the crowd.

But concertgoers saw more than they bargained for.

Fans attending the December 20 tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, noticed Timberlake made a slight adjustment to his shirt to ensure his crotch wasn't going to upstage him again.

You can watch the new family-friendly presentation of the "Mirrors"—with a long tunic—seen in the clip below.

Justin Timberlake performed in Kansas City tonight with a much longer shirt. No bulge issues now! #worldtour #justintimberlake #kansascity


Despite his best efforts, the longer shirt didn't spare him from continued ridicule.

The wardrobe glitch came 20 years after the infamous one in which 140 million people watching the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show saw famed pop star Janet Jackson's boob.

Timberlake, who was one of several cameos during the 11-minute performance, "accidentally" pulled off the right cup of Jackson's rubber bustier, which was meant to reveal a red-laced bra underneath during a costume reveal to the song "Rock Your Body."

However, audiences briefly saw her bare breast when part of her costume became detached.

Referred to as "Nipplegate," the controversy led to Jackson being shamed while it didn't seem to adversely affect Timberlake's career.

Many thought Timberlake's recent wedgie incident was payback for his involvement in the scandal that led to MTV being banned by the NFL from producing future half-time shows.

Talarico is not actually vegan—though there is nothing inherently wrong with veganism. Even so, Paxton has already begun attacking his likely Democratic challenger before he has officially entered the race, arguing that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism.
