Madonna has expressed interest in teaming up with Britney Spears for a stadium tour, which would include a reenactment of their iconic 2003 MTV Video Music Awards kiss. The 63-year-old singer made the comments during an Instagram live session on Wednesday (26 January).
When a fan asked about a potential new tour, Madonna responded enthusiastically: “Hell yeah. I have to. Stadium baby. Me and Britney, what about that?” She added: “Not sure if she’d be into it, but it would be really cool. We could like, reenact the original [kiss].”
The original kiss occurred during the 2003 VMAs, when Madonna performed with Spears and Christina Aguilera. Spears opened the show singing Madonna's "Like a Virgin," emerging from a wedding cake, before Madonna joined and kissed her on stage.
However, Spears has previously stated she has "no idea" if she will ever perform again. Her last public performance was her Piece of Me residency in Las Vegas from 2013 to 2017. A planned second residency, Domination, was cancelled in 2019 due to her father's health issues.
Madonna has been a vocal supporter of Spears during her conservatorship battle. Last year, she compared Spears' situation to slavery, writing on social media: "Give this woman her life back. Slavery was abolished so long ago! Death to the greedy patriarchy."
The pair last performed together in 2008 during Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour, where they surprised the audience with a rendition of "Human Nature."
