In a surprise crossover that left social media users stunned, pop icon Britney Spears shared an intimate pyjama party with reality television royalty Kim and Khloe Kardashian over the weekend.
The Viral Sleepover Moment
The 43-year-old singer took to Instagram on Saturday to share a playful clip from their unexpected gathering, showing her planting affectionate kisses on both sisters' cheeks as they cosied up together on a vibrating bed. In the now-viral footage, Britney addresses the camera with a casual "Oh we're just chilling" before suddenly discovering the mattress's vibration feature.
The pop star's reaction was captured in real-time as she exclaimed "What the f***?! What the f***?!" upon feeling the bed shake beneath them. The clip then shows Britney filming the bed itself before turning the camera back to her own face, where she pulled a comical expression for her followers.
Family Fun With The Next Generation
The entertainment didn't stop with the adults. Britney later choreographed a fun dance routine with both Kim's daughter Chicago and Khloe's daughter True, who are both seven years old. The Hit Me Baby One More Time singer could be heard offering encouragement from behind the camera as the young girls followed her moves.
In her caption accompanying the post, Britney expressed her appreciation for the family, writing: "Such a warm, beautiful, kind family… Thank you for allowing me to play with your kids and dinner!!! It was an honour to spend time with you guys!! Happy Holidays."
Fan Reactions and Historical Connections
The unexpected collaboration between the pop superstar and the reality television icons left many fans in disbelief. Some social media users even speculated that the images might have been generated by artificial intelligence, with one Reddit user commenting: "I thought it was AI... I still think it is."
However, others pointed out that this wasn't the first time Britney had crossed paths with the Kardashian clan. Back in 2012, both Britney and Khloe worked on The X-Factor, with Britney serving as a judge while Khloe hosted the competition series.
Kim Kardashian had first hinted at the surprise gathering by posting two Instagram Stories from the pyjama party, which also featured Britney's longtime close friend Cade Hudson, who is reportedly acting as her manager currently. Kim captioned one photo "Calabasas Nights," suggesting the party took place in the neighbourhood famous for being a Kardashian enclave.
Controversial Connections Raise Concerns
Some fans expressed concern about the friendship given the Kardashian family's reported social ties to Lou Taylor, Britney's controversial former business manager. Taylor has been described by Britney in her memoirs as being "front and center during the implementation of the conservatorship" that controlled the singer's life and career for years.
Interestingly, Taylor was among the star-studded guests at Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party just last Saturday, held at the Beverly Hills home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. This connection prompted one fan to react to the sleepover photos by bewailing "the lou taylor of it ALL," while another commented: "Aren't they involved with Lou Taylor who was behind the conservatorship? This is very dark I do not like this for Britney."
Britney was released from her conservatorship in 2021, after the legal arrangement had been in place since 2008 following her highly publicised mental health struggles. Some supporters have continued to voice concerns about her wellbeing since the conservatorship ended, including last year when paramedics were photographed escorting her from the Chateau Marmont in the early hours of the morning.
