Backstreet Boys fans hate-tweet 'GMA' for interrupting performance for Trump press conference
Hell hath no fury like a Backstreet Boys fan scorned.
Backstreet Boys fans across the country woke up Friday morning to watch the boy band perform on Good Morning America, and just when they were hitting the high notes for their biggest hit, “I Want It That Way,” something happened. The feed cut to an ABC special report presenting President Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s live press conference.
Shockingly, that didn’t entertain the Backstreet Boys fans. They turned to Twitter to vent their considerable anger, many marking their tweets with #BACKSTREETBOYSonGMA.
This fan sent an all-caps warning to ABC News.
HEY @abcnews DID YOU REALLY JUST CUT OFF THE END OF THE BACKSTREET BOYS FOR DONALD TRUMP? DO YOU NOT KNOW THE WRATH OF BACKSTREET GIRLS?#backstreetboysongma

To which the creatively named @Spookybutts1 gave an equally creative response.
I want Trump and May to break out into a coordinated dance number to BSB

Other got creative as well, making their own BSB parody lyric.
@GMA "tell me why" you just turned the @backstreetboys concert off? 😢😢 #BackstreetBoysonGMA

This day may go down in infamy, if Marc Halem’s prophetic tweet has anything to do with it.
He doesn't know this, but this single moment is how millennials vote him out of office, not the policies, not the disrespect for ANY of our countries no….he interrupted the #BACKSTREETBOYSonGMA

The lesson here is, don’t mess with a boy band fan.
