Dear Justin Timberlake


Dear Justin Timberlake,

I am incredibly grateful for your music, which has carried me through some of the toughest times in my life, as well as the good times. I love that I grew up with you and your music, and I admire how you’ve remained true to yourself over the years—it’s made me appreciate you even more.

When you released “Take It from Here,” that song became a lifeline for me. During moments when my world felt like it was crashing down, I would put on my headphones, listen to “Take It from Here,” and feel like I wasn’t alone—that someone was there for me. You can’t imagine how much that song means to me. Even now, more than two decades later, I still listen to that album non-stop. “Take It from Here” and “Let’s Take a Ride” have always been, and still are, my go-to songs whenever I need a pick-me-up.

All of your concerts have become core memories for me, from the Justified/Stripped Tour to the FutureSex/LoveShow, the Legends of the Summer Tour, and the Man of the Woods Tour—and my favorite, The Forget tomorrow world tour. I can’t forget the No Strings Attached Tour and the PopOdyssey Tour either. Every time I see you perform, a happy tear always rolls down my face because it feels so surreal, but it’s real. It’s such a joyous and exciting feeling.

During The Forget tomorrow world tour , iI was feeling a bit anxious, but the moment you came on stage, my anxiety melted away. I felt calm and happy, just vibing out with you and the Tennessee Kids. It was everything I needed.

Thank you for all that you do and for the impact you’ve made on all of us.

Love , Stephanie T
