“Fake news!!! That wasn’t me on my phone!!!” Spears, 42, wrote via X on Friday, July 26. “I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it 🌹!!!”
Just before her post, Spears appeared to release a statement via X slamming Halsey’s video.
“For obvious reasons, I am very angry about the Halsey video. I feel intimidated, violated and bullied,” the since-deleted statement said. “I didn’t know an artist like her and someone I looked up to and admired would illustrate me in such an ignorant way by portraying me as a superficial pop star with no heart or interest.”
Britney Spears’ career and personal life have had a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills during the singing competition Star Search at the age of 10 in 1992. After a stint with The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a recording contract with Jive Records in 1997 and […]
According to the original post, Spears deleted her Instagram account yesterday due to her “own health issues,” but planned to revive it to “show” she cares.
“I am speaking with my lawyers today to see what can be done about this matter,” she continued. “It feels illegal and [downright] cruel.”
The “Bad At Love” singer dropped the video clip for “Lucky” on Friday. The single features an interpolation of Spears’ 2000 hit of the same name in the chorus.
“I’m so lucky, I’m a star / But I cry, cry, cry in the lonely heart while I think / If nothing is missing in my life / Then why do these tears come at night?” Halsey sings.
It takes a long time! Halsey has been very vocal about their future family plans before announcing the pregnancy in January 2021. The singer debuted their baby bump in an Instagram slideshow titled “Surprise.” The New Jersey native wore a crochet top and unbuttoned jeans in the maternity shoot photos, tagging their boyfriend, Alev Aydin, on […]
The video, directed by Gia Coppola, portrays the ups and downs of a pop star, played by Halsey. While a young fan idolizes her, Halsey deals with the consequences of fame while struggling with her health and personal relationships.
“The ‘Lucky’ music video is out and there are a lot of feelings happening here. It was really challenging to incorporate so many conflicting emotions into just a few minutes,” said Halsey said about the inspiration for Friday’s video. “This campaign was fun because I WANT to have fun, but I made it [a] much of this art when I was suffering. I have so many people to thank for participating in this monumental moment in my life. From the bottom of my heart I thank @giancarla.coppola, pascale and @simonrex415 and my entire team for making this possible.”
Before the song’s release, Halsey said she had received permission from Spears to interpolate the chorus.
“Yes of course! I wouldn’t even dream of doing it without her blessing!” Halsey responded to a fan X asked this month if Spears was involved in the song.

In June, Halsey revealed that she had been secretly battling a series of health issues. While struggling privately, she turned to music.
“Long story short: I’m lucky to be alive,” she captioned a series of videos via Instagram documenting her health journey. “Short story long, I wrote an album. It starts with The End. out now.”
Halsey did not publicly reveal her condition, but tagged the Lupus Research Alliance and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in her post.
‘I told myself I’ll give myself two more years to be sick. [When] I’m 30, I’m experiencing a rebirth,” she said in the clip. “I’m not going to get sick. I will look super hot and have lots of energy. I’m just going to relive my twenties and thirties.”
