And fans are frankly divided on the viral moment, which has Justin attempting his own feet-shuffling version of the dance. “Me after a couple drinks thinking i actually did something,” quipped once TikTok user, while another commented on his pedestrian style wardrobe, stating, “Why did he shop at Eddie Bauer before the show?” Others focused on the dance itself. “Dad at a wedding type of dance,” commented another user, and yet another cleverly reacted, “C’mon Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance.” Another user creatively commented, “Someone put the sneaker squeaking sound over this please and thank you.”
