He and the TMZ reporter then discussed the viral remix that mashes up the Backstreet Boys hit &#8220;Everybody (Backstreet&#8217;s Back)&#8221; with Taylor&#8217;s song &#8220;Elizabeth Taylor.&#8221; AJ\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQAwfwriTzP\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:loves;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">loves<\/a>\u00a0the remix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I mean, fans are hoping that she&#8217;ll come do &#8216;Elizabeth Taylor&#8217; while we do &#8216;Backstreet&#8217;s Back&#8217; [at the Sphere],&#8221; AJ noted. &#8220;We would break the planet if that happened. So Taylor, if you want, come see the show first, so you know what&#8217;s going on, and then you can figure out if you wanna come up with us. We&#8217;re not gonna say no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright \u00a9 2025, ABC Audio.
