Standing ovation

Nick Carter got unexpectedly ‘excited’ on stage

While Nick Carter sang “Shape of My Heart,” fans may have seen the shape of, ahem, something else. When all five of the Backstreet Boys appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last week, the singer admitted he once got an erection mid-concert.

The confession came as host Andy Cohen played the Never Have I Ever-esque “Dish in the Dark” game with BSB.

“Have you ever unexpectedly gotten a boner on stage?”

Carter was the sole boy-bander who responded, but he only said, “Yeah.”

(In another salacious reveal, however, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, and Howie Dorough all ‘fessed up to once making love to their own music.)

Carter shouldn’t feel embarrassed, though. As the Internet has pointed out, the same fate may have befallen Harry Styles, John Legend, Tyler the Creator, Conor McGregor, and that one Demi Lovato backup singer.
