🕑 Added 2024-04-07 00:06:08 +0000 UTCMe and my sister in Christ, Zach Garcia, decided we wanted to do a year by year review of Britney's career, starting in 1998. We've secretly been recording lots of Britney content for quite some time so expect many more and enjoy!

I remember the moment I heard BOMT on the radio in the fall of 98’, I was 12 and was doing my homework in my bedroom when it came on and I immediately just popped up and started dancing around my room! I had no idea who she was yet but I somehow knew she was special, if only from that one moment. As soon the dj said her name after the song ended I wouldn’t have guessed she’d become a permanent part of my life. And then seeing the music video for the first time, it was almost like this transitional period where I began to enter into young womanhood, and seeing these images of a profoundly confident teenage girl who was comfortable in her own skin was so pure and powerful to me. You also hit the nail on the head with the Monica Lewinsky comparisons. Such a weird time to go through puberty as a young girl and receive so many mixed messages at once, you definitely developed a sense of internalized misogyny that reflected the culture at the time. It’s something that I believe that if you were growing up during that time, are all still recovering from. What a time it was.

Thank you so much for starting this series; you guys really are the Britney dream team (Jesse included!) I can’t wait to hear where it goes from here :)

So excited for this series! I too also have a core memory of seeing the BOMT video for the first time. I must have just turned 8 and the TV was on and I remember stopping whatever I was doing and being absolutely captivated by Britney. I thought she was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen! The specific shot of her on the bleachers was ingrained in me. Been a Stan ever since 💕
Daria Morgendorffer
Absolutely loved this. Please don’t hesitate to record 2 hour episodes! I could listen to y’all talk about literally whatever but the organic Britney banter especially is 10/10

I’m from Louisiana and somehow my dad had connections to Felicia, and they got me a personalized autograph! It was prob 1998/99 and was given to me as a surprise after soccer practice and I’ll never forget the high I felt touching something that Britney had touched and how jealous all the the other kiddos were. 😅 It was like a sacred artifact and no one was allowed to touch it 😂 I still have it framed in my room obvi hahah

OBSESSED with this convo. Also, I find it interesting that Britney and Taylor have similar astrology charts! They both emanated that magnetism and specialness that was undeniable. Guess it was written in the stars! 🔮
Ashley Nash

Jesus Christ I’m over the moon to have fresh Troy content 🥲 and it’s with Zach, and it’s about Britney, and it’s a year-by-year. I have been relistening to the vma episodes and the sliver episode to the point that I’m Lisa simpson in the Duff Beer rowboat. Living for my favourite pop culture historian’s revival!!!🫶🏼

First things first: I just want to thank you two for your service 🫡. As a Britney stan there are no better people for me to hear talk about Britney. Such respect and knowledge. Emphasis on the knowledge!! There are so many people who just do get it like we Britney freaks do, ya know? Second, when it comes to Max Martin - yes! I always say the Swedish are like masters in pop music. ABBA has to be my top 5 most listen to artists of all time and it’s because theor music is magic. Delicious melodic amazing candy that’s perfect. NONE of their songs make any sense. No ABBA lyrics feel personal to Bjorn or Benny at all. It’s like they are masters at jingle writing. That’s why they were able to win Eurovision. There talent was being a machine that can mathematically and scientifically build a perfect pop song. It just goes! I never understood what people were such idiots to think “Baby One More Time” was about DV. Like moronic! Did “I Want It That Way” by BSB make ANY sense?? Max has that Swedish gene that just can make a hit and we as a public are hypnotized by.
