Justin Timberlake snubbed by girl as he serenades female fans in viral video of sold-out concert
MONTREAL, CANADA: Justin Timberlake faced a major awkward moment during the Montreal stop of his sold-out Forget Tomorrow World Tour, when one fan missed a personal serenade because she was too busy texting.
While the 'Sexyback' singer was performing his hit 'Flame' for a group of female front-row fans, most were ecstatic, singing along and reaching out for high fives. However, one woman had her head buried in her phone, completely unaware that Timberlake was singing directly to her.

Justin Timberlake leaned in, trying to grab her attention, but the oblivious fan didn’t look up. It wasn’t until another concertgoer tapped her on the shoulder that she realized what was happening - but by then, it was too late.
The things you take for granted are someone else’s wildest dreams…

I’m told this is a Canadian comedian named Katherine Levac. Whether or not this was a stunt, it’s not cool. It’s disrespectful to Justin Timberlake & disrespectful to every fan who’d give anything to sit VIP. pic.twitter.com/woGmTamIrZ
The 'Mirrors' singer had already moved on, leaving the fan scrambling to recover the moment by grabbing at his leg in desperation. Despite her efforts, Timberlake was long gone.
The awkward exchange was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media platforms.
