Britney Spears Praises Madonna For Being ‘Wise’ and ‘Incredibly Strong,’ Says She Looks Up to Fellow Pop Superstar ‘More Than Anyone’

The singer also warned anyone thinking of messing with the fellow pop superstar "DO NOT PISS HER OFF !!!"

It’s been 23 years since Britney Spears and Madonna famously locked lips at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, but despite Brit publicly stepping back from her music career she still holds a special place in her heart for her fellow pop superstar. In an Instagram post on Sunday (Jan. 18), Spears shared an iconic image of Madonna from a 2003 shoot with photographer Steven Klein in which the “Ray of Light” singer models a crimson red bejeweled headpiece and crystals all over her face.

“The beast within … I prefer to call it the spiritual animal awakening. It’s been a long time for me … I know the wild ones more than anyone !!!,” Spears wrote. “Yet, we’re honestly all the same under our mask we secretly wear every day !!! Vulnerability, fragility, insanity, real innocence … but also confusion, depression, extreme hurt, anger … stuck in our heads.”
