Filmed at Long Island bar, this video is here to welcome us to Super Bowl Sunday! Pretty soon, some people will be watching the game and some people will be watching the commercials and, here at the Shattered Lens, we’ll be posting any trailers that drop during the big game. It’s a part of our tradition!
One of my fondest memories of growing up with Lisa Marie is all of the time that we would spend singing Britney Spears’s song whenever we went on a road trip. We would sing at the top of our lungs and, if we got bored with that, we would start singing with exaggerated country accents. There was nothing more fun than singing off-key and off-pitch, though I guess maybe the other people in the car with us would have disagreed.
I think My Prerogative is the only Britney music video that hasn’t been a music video of the day yet. This music video also features Kevin Federline. Remember him? Where did he go? He just disappeared one day. Hope he’s okay.
I used to love slumber parties. It was always interesting to see how differently people act at night than they do during the day. That said, I don’t think I ever went to a slumber party that was quite as wild as this one attended by Britney Spears. In fact, I think it might be a little bit too wild. GET BRITNEY OUT OF THERE!
It’s Britney on the beach! This video was controversial when it was first released. It seems rather tame now.
This video was directed by photographer Herb Ritts and Britney’s boyfriend was played by French model Brice Durand. Supposedly, neither Justin Timberlake nor Lynne Spears were happy with this video. Lynne felt it was too explicit and Justin apparently had an issue with Britney kissing another guy, even though Britney was just acting, it was just for the music video, and it’s not as if Justin wasn’t messing around behind Britney’s back.
Today’s music video of the day is here to help you to get in the mood to party on New Year’s Eve. If you don’t have plans to visit a castle and dance with Austin Powers and Taye Diggs, why don’t you?
Enjoy and here’s hoping for happiness (for Britney and all of us) in 2024!
In today’s music video of the day, Britney Spears visits a polo mansion and decides that she doesn’t really need a new necklace. Apparently, the original plan for the video was to have Britney and her friends chasing one guy through several different clubs. However, in what director Dave Meyers described as being an attempt to “class things up,” the video was instead moved to a mansion and featured Britney flirting with polo players. Personally, while I think this video is well-done, I think they should have stuck with the original plan. Britney’s appeal has always been that she doesn’t have to be posh.
Apparently, there’s a longer version of this video in which it is made clear that Britney’s character is actually an assassin who is hired to kill her former lover but who, when she sees that he still has the ring that she gave him long ago, cannot bring herself to do it. Her character is subsequently murdered for failing to complete her assignment. Agck! I prefer the version of the video that was actually released.
For a while, me and my bestie Evelyn tried to recreate today’s music video of the day every weekend.
This video is based on the 80s film, Earth Girls Are Easy. I haven’t ever watched Earth Girls Are Easy but it’s apparently about aliens who land on Earth and discover that the title is true. (So that’s why there’s been so many UFO sightings lately….) In this video, Iggy lands in Britney’s pool and gets an immediate makeover. In retrospect, this is kind of a sad video. Britney’s just so happy to have a friend come by. At the end of the video, Britney’s really excited to be taken to another world, one where she presumably will not be forced to live under anyone else’s rules and she’ll be free. I’m just happy that Britney and Iggy Azalea got to have some fun.
