It’s Britney, Bitch
It’s time… Over the past two years we’ve celebrated Pride month with a look back at the iconic music videos of female pop divas Kylie Minogue and Ariana Grande. Maybe we weren’t ready to tackle a subject as instrumental to the history of pop music as the Princess herself, Ms. Britney Spears. But the procrastination is over, and so here we are at last. Third time ‘Lucky’.
Freed from the toxic conservatorship of her father and Lou Taylor (for both of whom we wish a specific Tenth Circle of Hell is reserved), living her best life in Mexico away from the cannibalistic paparazzi that stole her privacy for decades, and charming / confusing us all with regular dance videos on her IG, Britney is an enigma, a legend and a lesson to us all.
Last year’s Ariana roundup was frankly psychotic, so for the sake of this being even vaguely digestible we’ve limited ourselves to 2 videos per album x 9 albums so a total of 18 videos with some honourable mentions. Wish us luck.
And for the haters before we get into it, if there’s any doubt about Spears’ significance to the history of music, she’s sold more than 100m records. So there’s that.
And with a kid on her arm she’s still an exceptional earner. You want a piece of meat?
