Brenda Song Dances to Backstreet Boys Next to Stoic Macaulay in Viral Video

Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin are just like Us.

The couple enjoyed the Backstreet Boys’ Into the Millennium residency show at the Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday, July 26, according to a fan video shared via TikTok on Monday, July 28. The viral footage showed Song, 37, standing up to dance enthusiastically and sing along to “Everybody,” at one point leaning down to sing to Culkin, 44, who was sitting quietly beside her.

“In case you were wondering, London Tipton is alive and thriving,” text over the clip read, referring to Song’s character in Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

In the comments of the video, which earned 1.7 million likes as of publication, many fans poked fun at the stark contrast between Song and her seemingly stoic fiancé.

“When an extrovert and an introvert get married ,” one user commented.

Another fan added, “And her husband just sitting there like yeah, I should’ve stayed home alone ,” referring to Culkin’s famous role as Kevin McCallister in the 1990 film Home Alone and its 1992 sequel.

“I’m sure Mac is enjoying the concert but in his own way … Brenda looks like she’s having a blast tho ,” a third person wrote.

Other fans made references to Richie Richie, another famous role of Culkin’s. He played the titular character in the 1994 American children’s adventure comedy film.

“The fact that London Tipton married Richie Rich,” one person commented, while another fan added, “London tipton marrying richie rich will forever be iconic lol.”

Song shared a video that was seemingly taken from Culkin’s perspective via Instagram on Tuesday, July 29. The clip showed Song dancing and singing to “The One,” often looking over to serenade the camera. Her post also included a few selfies with Culkin, a close-up of her shirt and clips of the band’s performance.

“Best night of my life. I @backstreetboys. Thank you @culkamania for going above and beyond to make this night so special for me. I don’t think he realized how real my fandom was. Easy to say- he does now. Haha,” Song’s caption read.

Meanwhile, Culkin took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of himself and Song posing with the Backstreet Boys, including members Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough, in all-white outfits.

“Mack Street’s Back, ALRIGHT!!! Hey y’all, remember the ‘90s?” he captioned the post. “Just went to the @backstreetboys at @thespere this Saturday and Brenda lost her sh*t. (She literally cried).”

Culkin admitted that he was “mildly skeptical” about the show at first.

“But boy howdy did they tear the place down. I was so very impressed. Five minutes into pilates I’m toast. I’m 45 but these men, who are my age, GO at it HARD for 90 minutes,” the former child actor continued. “Nothing is wasted; they use every part of the buffalo. Top-to-bottom, head-to-toe, floor-to-ceiling, soup-to-nuts, beginning-to-end, it’s incredible. They got it. They got it more than ever.”

“Even if you’re not a fan you have to see this; it’ll win you over… in the Brenda kind of way,” Culkin concluded. “P. S. Thanks @backstreetboys for making Brenda cry. I try every night and nothing seems to work.”

Culkin and Song began dating in 2017 and welcomed their son Dakota in 2021. The couple later got engaged in January 2022. Culkin’s brother Kieran Culkin confirmed in March 2023 that Song and Macaulay had quietly welcomed their second child.
