There were a lot of tweet-able moments from Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl halftime show last night, but the most-tweeted moment involved #SelfieKid.
According to data from Twitter, Justin performing “Can’t Stop the Feeling” in the stands of Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium – and taking a selfie with a young fan – topped the list of most-tweeted about moments. The fan has since been identified as a 13-year-old Massachusetts native named Ryan McKenna.
Looking awkward in front of the cameras, he fiddled with his phone. The result was a string of memes. McKenna was actually shooting a video of Timberlake, but when the megastar slid up next to him, he was a little tied up. Specifically, he was trying to launch his camera app to document the moment. Unfortunately, he had equipment issues. “At first I tried to get a selfie with him, and my phone died, and then it turned back on,” he explained to ABC.
The second most-tweeted moment was Justin playing piano and singing “Until the End of Time” alongside a projection of Prince. Coming in third was Justin performing “Suit & Tie” with a full marching band.
