Britney Spears Praises Her Pop ‘God’ Janet Jackson: ‘She’s Not Trying to Be Sexy … She Just Is’
"I do believe people like her are here for a reason," the Princess of Pop wrote of Miss Jackson.
In a touching Instagram post on Thursday (Oct. 15), pop icon Britney Spears paid tribute to fellow music legend Janet Jackson, describing her as "the god" of pop music. The "Piece of Me" singer shared a photo of Jackson, reminiscing about her childhood awe when Jackson's music videos would appear on television. Spears explained that Jackson's mysterious allure, coupled with her haunting voice, left her spellbound, and that the singer's genuine talent transcended mere sex appeal.
She emphasized that "she can't help it - she has always been god to me." The superstar also highlighted Jackson's ability to captivate both adults and children alike, adding that the singer's smile alone has the power to change the world. Jackson, whose career includes 10 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, frequently shines brightly as the "Princess of Pop," a title she earned through her groundbreaking music from the late '90s to the 2000s.
The connection between the two renowned artists was further cemented when Timberlake recently apologized to both women for past disrespectful actions. Spears, who previously expressed admiration for Timberlake's songwriting abilities, has not harbored any ill will toward him. Instead, she released a song they co-wrote over two decades ago titled "She'll Never Be Me" on Oct. 9.
