Over the weekend, followers shouted with pleasure when Britney teased a attainable new music. New music? Finally?!
However … was her announcement additionally shade thrown at Selena Gomez? Do these two phenomenal queens have a beef?
On Saturday, October 28, residing legend Britney Spears took to Instagram.
Alongside a screenshot from her “Overprotected” music video, she shared some information.
“I wrote a brand new music !!! Hate you to love me !!!” Britney introduced.

“It’s to build up curiosity by giving ego with my eyes closed,” Britney quipped, “as a result of I hear vital folks try this lately.”
Was Britney joking, or is “Hate You to Like Me” a possible music title? It’s a tease, both approach.
However, as many people (myself included) immediately thought, it’s strongly harking back to Selena Gomez’s hit breakup anthem.
“Lose You to Love Me” isn’t one among Selena’s transcendent dance bops. It’s an nearly accusatory but mournful music about therapeutic after breaking apart with a really poisonous man. A man who went on to get married to a Baldwin daughter.
“Is she shading Selena once more?” one among now-fallen Twitter’s lingering energetic customers tweeted.
“Britney Spears can’t take pleasure in her memoir and all of the reward she’s getting,” a reply spat.
The reply tweet continued: “She simply needed to discover a approach to insult Selena by some means.” Um … what a part of Britney’s submit was shade, precisely?
So there’s some historical past, right here.
In 2016, Selena Gomez — one of the influential folks on social media, the queen of the Instagram — spoke about self-worth in a speech.
On the time, she spoke about how numerous ladies really feel that they’ve to indicate their our bodies on Instagram.
Britney has, many instances, come below hearth for exhibiting her physique. And, one yr in the past, in October of 2022, Britney appeared to lash out at Selena’s 2016 speech.
“They are saying ‘That is NOT one thing I’d do,’” Britney complained. “But these ladies are the very ones who get 4 million greenback price range movies made about sucking and licking on selfmade ice cream !!!!”
Many imagine that she might solely have been referring to Selena’s 2020 collaboration with Blackpink, “Ice Cream.”
“So the subsequent time I see somebody with a giant price range video sucking on lollipops but giving righteous speeches shaming different ladies for exposing their our bodies,” Britney wrote on the time.
“I want to inform these folks don’t be a hypocrite,” she continued, “as you suck in your lollipop having HUGE price range desires…”
Merely put, the speech struck a nerve for Britney. She was not its audience, however the phrases stung.
Nevertheless, Britney additionally clarified in a follow-up submit that she wasn’t singling out Selena.
Sure, that speech from Selena had made the rounds once more on social media. Some might have assumed that it was newer.
However Britney wrote that her mini-rant “had nothing to do with anybody particular in any respect.”
That’s form of odd, although, given the fellatinous lollipop and ice cream imagery that Britney evoked.
There was numerous that within the “Ice Cream” music video, although it was very tame.
Britney’s frustrations probably additionally stemmed from her years below her father’s conservatorship. Britney, who has achieved high-concept music movies and extraordinary performances, might now not management her personal life — personal or skilled.
In different phrases, Britney and Selena had a really oblique disagreement. Additionally, Selena was one among Britney’s wedding ceremony friends.
We’re unclear on how Britney making a hypothetical music title just like a Selena hit is “shading” precisely.
If something, it will be flattering. Why are folks making an attempt to pit these badass girls in opposition to one another? I’d somewhat see them collab.
