The enduring friendship between pop icons Madonna and Britney Spears was once again on display when the Queen of Pop publicly signaled her support for Spears.
Madonna reportedly liked one of Britney's social media posts where the "Toxic" singer was defending herself against claims made by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, regarding their two sons.
This digital gesture speaks volumes, continuing a decades-long pattern of mutual support between the two stars.
Madonna's unwavering loyalty to Spears extends back to the start of Britney's career, and famously culminated in their iconic on-stage kiss at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
Later that same year, Madonna was featured on Spears's hit song "Me Against the Music," cementing their professional and personal bond.
The "Material Girl" has consistently supported the younger pop star through her most challenging times.
During Britney Spears's highly publicized conservatorship battle, Madonna was one of the most vocal celebrity advocates for the #FreeBritney movement, posting a photo of herself in a Britney Spears T-shirt and declaring, "Give this woman her life back. Slavery was abolished so long ago! Death to the greedy patriarchy that has been doing this to women for centuries."
She finished her statement with a powerful, "Britney we coming to get you out of jail."
Madonna has also spoken candidly about her personal feelings for Spears.
In an interview, she once expressed a sense of protectiveness, stating that she felt a "certain fragility and vulnerability" about Britney that made her feel "maternal" towards her.
She noted that she recognized aspects of herself in the younger artist when she was starting her own career, and admired Britney's talent.
This mentorship proved invaluable to Spears. In her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney revealed that Madonna became her "mentor" during a dark period following her public breakup with Justin Timberlake.
Spears credits Madonna's "supreme confidence" and strength as a model that helped her see her situation with "fresh eyes."
The bond has remained strong, as Madonna was one of the high-profile guests who attended Britney's wedding to Sam Asghari.
Madonna's continued support, from public statements to social media likes, reinforces a powerful message of female solidarity in an industry often criticized for its treatment of women.
Did You Know?
The iconic kiss at the 2003 MTV VMAs became such a talking point that Madonna had to explain it to her daughter, Lourdes.
Madonna reportedly told her daughter that she was "the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her."
