The story between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears goes back a long way. The press always played that they were enemies, even when they both worked at The Mickey Mouse Club, although they never did anything off stage to give that image. Rather, it was given to them, because even the direct montage that made the world see how Madonna kissed Spears omitted the next kiss (Madonna with Aguilera), preferring the director to focus on the face of a man, Justin Timberlake, Spears's ex.
That image of enemies was dismantled as soon as social conscience, to the cry of #FreeBritney, sought last year the end of paternal guardianship over the author of hits like Toxic or Oops!... I did it again. Christina Aguilera joined all these voices on several occasions: first, writing an open letter of support to her friend in which she said "My heart goes out to Birtney"; second, and together with artists of the stature of Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, Katy Perry or Mariah Carey, creating a fund to help her release.
But she failed once and everything was that mistake. Last November, on the red carpet of the Latin Grammys, the Genie in a bottle singer was about to answer a question about the Spears case when her publicist appeared from behind and curtly said, "No, I'm sorry, we won't do that. tonight, thank you, goodbye."
Aguilera had no choice but to compromise and, although after looking at her publicist she could say "I can't (speak), but I'm happy for her", Britney Spears lashed out at her: "I love and adore everyone who supported me. ..But refusing to speak when you know the truth is equivalent to a lie!"
Christina Aguilera has learned from that mistake and, taking advantage of the fact that she is touring her new album in Spanish, La Fuerza, she has declared that she "would love to talk to Britney". "I would always be open to talking to her. It's a subject with which I have to go carefully because I don't want to say something that is out of place about someone I have so much respect and admiration for," he commented to the youtuber's questions. Henry Santos.
The 41-year-old New Yorker has gone on to say that she is "very happy" for Britney. "I will only say something that I feel comfortable talking about, and that is that as I said before, and I have mentioned before, I could not be happier for her. Every woman deserves to feel empowered and possess that freedom as she sees fit", has declared .
Finally, Aguilera wanted to emphasize the very similar careers that both have had since they began with the turn of the millennium. "Growing up in this business can be crazy, so if someone understands that and understands what they go through to get here, one hundred percent that is her and me. We will always be there", she has finished.
