Britney Spears has revealed the truth behind one of the most iconic moments of her career.
00:29
Inside of her memoir, Britney Spears revisited the iconic moment when she kissed Madonna
00:40
at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, taking readers back 20 years.
00:46
When we read in her book, The Woman in Me, Britney shared that she thought of the kiss
00:51
idea just before performing with Madonna and Christina Aguilera.
00:56
It was something that popped up in her brain.
01:04
So what she aimed to do was to top when she revealed a sparkling nude suit during her
01:12
2000 VMAs performance when she was performing Oops I Did It Again.
01:17
So she was like, what can I do to top it?
01:19
Oh, a kiss.
01:21
And this is how Britney Spears explains it in her book.
01:32
When I pulled off a suit to reveal a sparkly outfit, I thought to myself, I want a moment
01:38
like that again this year.
01:40
With the kiss, should I just go for it?
01:50
And of course, Britney clearly didn't hold back.
01:53
She went for it.
01:54
She and Christina Aguilera both kissed Madonna during their performance of Like A Virgin.
02:05
And it was a moment that remains iconic in music award show history.
02:15
In her memoir, Britney also recognized how the kiss became a timeless pop culture moment
02:21
that still is discussed by people to this day.
02:25
From there, Britney then made these comments.
02:34
A lot was made of that kiss.
02:36
Oprah asked Madonna about it.
02:44
The kiss was treated as a huge cultural moment.
02:47
Britney kissing Madonna.
02:49
And it got us both a lot of attention.
02:52
Also, nearly two decades after their iconic kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney
02:57
Spears and Madonna recreated the moment at Britney's wedding to her now estranged husband,
03:03
Sam Haskari, in June of 2022.
03:16
When we read through Britney's memoir, she shares stories from her life in her own words.
03:28
And she often writes about Madonna, who she considers to be a great inspiration from the
03:33
early days of her career.
03:43
Here's what Britney had to say about Madonna specifically.
03:47
Going along with Madonna's ideas and being on her time for days was what it meant to
03:52
collaborate with her.
03:54
It was an important lesson for me, one that would take a long time for me to absorb.
03:59
She demanded power.
04:01
And so she got power.
04:03
She was the center of attention because she made that the condition of her showing up
04:08
everywhere.
04:10
She made that life for herself.
04:11
I hoped I could find ways to do that while preserving the parts of my nice girl identity
04:17
that I wanted to keep.
04:19
And there you have it.
04:20
Who knew it was Britney's idea behind the kiss?
04:23
I always thought it was Madonna.
04:25
But either way, we heard it from Britney and I'm curious to know guys, what are your thoughts
04:29
about it?
04:30
Was that kiss surprising for you or was it just like, whatever, it happened, no big deal?
04:36
Let me know your thoughts down below in the comment section and thanks for hanging out
04:40
with me here on FTD News.
04:42
I'll catch you beautiful people in the next video.
