The year was 2006, Timbaland said that Britney would have to "humble herself" and contact him and Justin Timberlake if she wanted a hit.

In 2007, she released Blackout, now included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an honor only awarded to groundbreaking albums.

As the 21-year-old Canadian pop star releases her third album ‘So Close To What’, she speaks to Ellie Muir about fame, toxic relationships and making music with her rapper boyfriend Kid Laroi

In the week that I speak with Canadian pop star Tate McRae, she’s inescapable. Posters for her world tour are plastered across social media. Her songs are blasting from the speakers in Tesco. When I arrive at my Wednesday night dance class, the teacher is busy choreographing a routine to McRae’s turbo-charged, innuendo-filled latest release “Sports Car”.

It makes sense that McRae is everywhere right now, having just released her third, much-anticipated album. So Close To What is a punchier, more decisive offering compared to the vaguely radio-ready songs about teenage angst and lust that defined her early releases. Simply put, it’s more grown up – partly because, well, McRae has grown up.

“I feel so much more confident in my taste and the way I am as a person,” she tells me, speaking from her pristine showroom-looking apartment in Los Angeles. “I started writing music when I was 16, I really knew nothing. I didn’t really know what the f*** releasing a debut album meant. I was so young.” Granted, she’s only 21 now, but 17 already feels like a lifetime ago.

It comes as little surprise, then, that McRae is frequently compared to her forebears like Christina Aguilera and The Pussycat Dolls. The one she gets the most, though, is a young Britney Spears. “I find that flattering and scary. It’s such a crazy statement because no one can compare to Britney Spears. It’s like comparing someone to Michael Jackson!” she says almost shrieking, manically waving her French-manicured hands in the air. “That’s the blueprint!”

Britney Spears is used to turning heads, and her infamous Instagram dance videos do just that. Ever since she posted her first Reel, fans couldn’t get enough of her fun energy and enthusiastic dance moves—so our eyes are always glued to our Instagram feeds for all things Britney Spears. Thankfully for all the Britney stans, she’s been feeding us well with tons of dance videos recently. And although we’re living for her moves (as always), we couldn’t help but notice how effortlessly she pulls off a red lip.

In a recent Instagram Reel, Britney is seen dancing around in a cheetah bodysuit. Like most of her videos, Britney’s moves embody the carefree energy she’s known for. Although she admitted in the caption that she hasn’t been dancing as much recently, she seems to have made up for lost time with this super fun video. Her lengthy caption concluded with, “I’m honestly tired of making sense of things these days !!!”

Over the years, we’ve seen Britney pull off tons of beauty looks. And thanks to her constant Instagram updates, we now have way more opportunities to see what makeup looks she’s wearing on a daily basis. Specifically, we’re obsessed with how she casually rocks a red lip while dancing around her house. We’re positive she could make any lip color look good, but something about her in red lipstick just hits different. If nothing else, she’s seriously inspiring us to be a little more bold with our lip color choices.

There’s no denying the power of a red lip. After all, there’s a reason why stars like Taylor Swift claim it as their signature color. With so many new beauty trends popping up, it can be easy to lose sight of the classics. But thanks to Britney’s dance videos, we’re becoming obsessed with red lips all over again. So whether you’re also planning to dance around your living room in a bold lip, or just need to restock the tried-and-true shade—take note of these red lipsticks.

For only $7, the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick is the perfect way to get that Britney-esque red while also moisturizing your lips.

Britney’s red lip has major staying power, and this Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick is said to be transfer-proof and last for 16 hours (AKA it’ll stay put while dancing).

Britney Spears gushed over her youngest son Jayden and his musical aptitude on social media, less than three months after reuniting with him over the holidays.

If Britney Spears wants to gush about her son Jayden, that’s her prerogative.  

Less than three months after the “Toxic” singer had a long-awaited reunion with her younger son over the holidays, it seems he may be starting to follow in her musical footsteps. Indeed, she couldn’t help herself from showing off his talents to the world.  

“He’s a genius and I’m in awe of him,” Britney captioned a March 10 Instagram video of the two rapping together. “I can’t believe he’s mine !!! I was honestly scared that’s not normal !!!”

“My son just played, oh my god,” she exclaimed in the video while Jayden, 18, freestyled in the background. “I felt it in my bones, and my heart, and my lungs and my ass, and my throat and—I’m scared!!!”

Moments later, the “Baby One More Time” singer—who also shares son Sean, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline—further showed off his talent in a second video of Jayden playing an impressive arrangement on the piano, captioned, “WOW WOW WOW!!!”

These sweet mother-son moments come less than three months after the 43-year-old reunited with her son on Christmas, following a years-long estrangement.

“Best Christmas of my life,” Britney captioned a Dec. 25 Instagram post. “I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”

Jayden and Sean relocated to Hawaii back in 2023 alongside their father, stepmom Victoria Prince and two half-sisters. At the time, Kevin’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told People that “The boys are ready to get away from the L.A. microscope.”

So, once the “Gimme More” singer finally reconnected with her boys, she was especially amazed at the young man Jayden had become. 

“Mine forever,” Britney captioned the Dec. 31 post alongside photos of her son posting in a red shirt and baggy jeans. “It’s weird we’re like twins but he’s a boy and I’m a girl !!!”

“He’s mine,” she continued. “I hadn’t seen him in 2 and half years or maybe 3 !!! I’m in shock !!! He came back and he feels older and smarter than me !!! He’s a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!! When he plays the whole earth shakes !!!”
