'I touched his sweaty back. It was good' - Girl gets mid-concert birthday selfie with Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake paused his Auckland concert last night to take this birthday selfie with a fan.

Justin Timberlake paused his first Auckland show to gift a mid-set selfie to a Kiwi fan celebrating her 21st birthday.

The fan, Krishna, was holding a sign that read, "It's my 21st, take a selfie with me" while standing in the front row for Timberlake's concert last night.

Timberlake saw the sign, paused the show, jumped down from the stage and fulfilled her wish, Krishna told radio station ZM this morning.

"I was just standing there with the sign, then he looked at me - then I died - and he was like, 'Is it your birthday?'. And I was like, 'Yes, it's my 21st birthday'. Everyone was screaming beside me, so he made everyone shut up," she told ZM.

"I was shaking, and JT was like, 'Why are you shaking?' I was like, 'It's you, you're not a normal boy that I see every day'.

"I touched his sweaty back. It was good."

Timberlake played hits from throughout his solo career at last night's show, including Pusher Love, SexyBack and Cry Me a River.

"It's the best concert ever," said Krishna. "You get him dancing, you get him singing, you get him rapping a bit, you just get the full package. It's the most amazing concert you'll ever go to."

He plays Vector Arena again tonight and Wednesday.
