Big Time Rush Reunites Virtually to Perform Acoustic Version of 'Worldwide'

Following reuniting in April to encourage fans to stay indoors to stop the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and to remain healthy, Logan Henderson, James Maslow, Kendall Schmidt and Carlos PenaVega - the stars of Nickelodeon's hit musical comedy series Big Time Rush - have once again come together virtually to treat fans to a very special and uplifting acoustic version of their hit single, "Worldwide"!:




"Worldwide (Acoustic)

These challenging times around the world have made us want to connect with all of you so much. They have also made us want to stay connected with each other. We got inspired to record and sing together again seeing how many smiles our check in video created weeks back. We spent some time recently recording one of our favorite songs (safely apart) and wanted to share it with you all as our small way of saying thank you. We are sending love to all of you WORLDWIDE. Please take care of yourselves, take care of each other, pls take care of all of your fellow neighbors. We’ll be thinking about you..."

"These challenging times around the world have made us want to connect with all of you so much," PenaVega wrote on his YouTube page. "They have also made us want to stay connected with each other. We got inspired to record and sing together again seeing how many smiles our check in video created weeks back."


The reunion of the former boy band left fans positively swooning. All four of the guys, who starred on the popular Nickelodeon musical comedy series, Big Time Rush from 2009 to 2013, were present to sing their parts of the song.

Kendall Schmidt, 29, performed at home in Venice Beach, California while casually showing off all of his band memorabilia. Logan Henderson, 30, joined his guys straight from his couch in Las Vegas, Nevada. James Maslow, 30, appeared to have his own makeshift recording studio set up in Sherman Oaks, California. And lucky duck Carlos PenaVega, 30, was crooning straight from Maui. And they all sounded just as perfect as they did the first time we all heard “Worldwide” years ago.

Their fans were obviously freaking out after seeing the new video. “totally not crying,” one fan tweeted, absolutely lying. “The way I’m still in love with James’ voice omgg,” wrote another. “IM CRYING RN OMG.” Actually, most of the tweets in response to the video were girls announcing that they were crying after watching the video. No shame in that! This is the second time that the Big Time Rush guys have graced us with a mini reunion during the COVID-19 crisis. Thoughtful of them, right?

"So proud of my dogs! Seriously @1LoganHenderson @jamesmaslow @HeffronDrive and @TheCarlosPena always use their platform to promote positivity and kindness to others. @bigtimerush is what we need right now. #leadwithlove" added Stephen Kramer Glickman, who played their manager Gustavo Rocque on the series.

They recorded a virtual message to fans in April, telling them that, “we wanted to say hi, wish you all well, [and] hope you’re all staying healthy during this crazy time. It’s a great time to stay connected, like we are, and it’s a great time to reach out to friends and family. You guys, please stay home, stay safe, and remember to practice a little more love and compassion right now.” Aww!
