The 33-year-old singer welled up when the 10-year-old handed him a gift box containing a bow tie during a break from his performance to chat with fans, reported Digital Spy.
The child told the singer that he had been a huge fan since he was just two-year-old, with a visibly moved Timberlake replying: "Hey man, greatest gift ever. Because a gentleman can never have too many bow ties. I love you, kiddo."
During his gig, part of his 20/20 Experience World Tour, Jay Z joined him on stage to perform 'Holy Grail', a track the two collaborated on for Jay Z's 2013 album Magna Carta Holy Grail.
Timberlake recently attended Swift's 25th star-studded birthday bash.
