Britney Spears dances to Justin Timberlake almost two decades after their breakup

Thanks to Britney Spears, we now know that after the ‘hair colour’ phase of quarantine is the ‘dance to your ex-boyfriend’s music’ phase. Let’s hope this pandemic ends soon, because we are not ready to be that forgiving. Spears is keeping her spirits high while physical distancing by getting physical and dancing to ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake’s music. And yes, she knows it’s been almost two decades since their infamous breakup, but she also knows a jam when she hears one. Haters gonna say it’s fake.A longtime fan of selfie dance videos, Spears posted her latest on Tuesday and surprised fans with her playlist. Showing she can rock in Birkenstocks, Spears did an impromptu dance performance on her deck while Timberlake’s 2018 single “Filthy” played over the clip. “This is my version of Snapchat or TikTok or whatever the cool thing you're supposed to do these days,” writes Spears. “As you can see I’m not really dancing folks …… I’m just very bored.” The singer continues, noting that she is aware of whose song she is not-dancing-but-still-definitely-dancing to, writing “PS I know we had one of the world's biggest breakups 20 years ago …… but hey the man is a genius !!!! Great song JT!!!! Pssss if you KNOW WHAT'S GOOD!!!!!!”

Spears upped the dancing for her second video, giving Timberlake’s “Filthy” another play while she performed an impressive 14 spins in bare feet. Defying both splinters and the rules of breakups, Spears celebrated her exes’ accomplishments and Timberlake showed his appreciation with emojis, commenting with a laughing/crying face and three hand praise emojis. Spears’ younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears also jumped in the comments to state the obvious, writing "Blogs are already plotting their outrageous stories. You keep having fun and looking cute tho!!"

There doesn’t seem to be any jealousy in their Spears household either. The popstar’s boyfriend Sam Asghari commented on the first video, writing “Snapchat, Instagram TikTok, Facebook even Myspace was inspired by you.”Spears and Timberlake famously dated from 1999 until 2002, having one of the most highly publicized breakups of the early 2000s. There were rumours of infidelity on both sides and Timberlake responded to the end of the relationship by releasing the single “Cry Me A River.” Spears kissed Madonna.The pair have put their breakup behind them and spoken highly of each other in more recent years. In a 2013 interview with Today, Spears called Timberlake’s music “different, fresh and inspiring.” In 2016, Spears appeared on Most Requested Live With Romeo and said that she would be interested in collaborating with her famous ex. Timberlake responded to Spears’ invitation on the TIFF red carpet that year, saying he would ‘absolutely’ be down for a duet. It’s been four years and still no new music from the pair, but at least we now have a mini-music video.Spears' dance video is the latest in the popstar’s effort to keep her fans entertained and safe during the global pandemic. Spears has been giving frequent glimpses into her home life, sharing her outfit of the day posts, meditation guides, movie recommendations and fun throwback pictures. The singer has also been urging people to stay home if possible and has repeatedly thanked first responders, medical personnel, grocery store workers and delivery drivers.
