Nick Carter’s Vegas Adventure: Fanboying with ‘Star Trek’ Legends!

In a delightful twist of pop culture and fandom, Nick Carter found himself mingling with two legendary Captains at the STLV: Trek to Vegas 2025 Convention. Yes, we’re talking about the original Captain Kirk, William Shatner, and the new Captain Kirk, Paul Wesley. While performing in his “Into the Millennium” residency at the Sphere, the Backstreet Boys singer took a break to indulge his inner sci-fi nerd. Who knew that the boy band scene and Starfleet had so much in common?

Carter and the two Captains hit it off for about 20 minutes, discussing their work, experiences, and, you can bet, the time-honored tradition of space travel that caught Nick’s boyish excitement. There’s something surreal about visualizing a Backstreet Boy exchanging stories with the iconic Shatner, all while casually snapping pics. One can only imagine the giggles and the geeky references exchanged—did they plan a mission to explore new bars after their chat?

What’s more fun is how Shatner, at the impressive age of 94, continues to charm fans around the country at events just like this. With a smile that could power a starship, it looks like he’s not slowing down anytime soon. So, tell us, who would you love to share a moment with at a convention? Grab your geek gear; it’s time for a chat that’s truly out of this world!
