Britney Spears and Madonna perform at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City
, Spears is revealing new details about how the kiss—widely considered to be one of the most iconic moments in music award-show history—came to be.
In the book, which will be published on Oct. 24, Spears writes that while she, Madonna, and Christina Aguilera were rehearsing their performance of"Like a Virgin," they had always practiced an air kiss. But, right before they were set to go on the night of the show, Spears started to think that it might be a good idea to switch things up.
"About two minutes before the performance, I was sitting on the side of the stage and thinking about my biggest performance to date at the VMAs, when I'd pulled off a suit to reveal a sparkly outfit," she writes, referencing her performance of"Oops!...I Did It Again" at the 2000 VMAs."I thought to myself:Spears goes on to explain how the kiss became a generation-defining moment in pop culture."A lot was made of that kiss," she writes.
"Going along with Madonna's ideas and being on her time for days was what it meant to collaborate with her," she writes of the period they spent working together on the 2003 song"Me Against the Music.""It was an important lesson for me, one that would take a long time for me to absorb: she demanded power, and so she got power. She was the center of attention because she made that the condition of her showing up anywhere. She made that life for herself.
