Oops! … She did it again.

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Cabral rapped for Britney Spears during an early-aughts “TRL” special dedicated to the Princess of Pop — and recreated it for an Instagram Reel shared Wednesday after the clip resurfaced online.

“For my idol, the @britneyspears,” Cabral, 38, began in an accompanying caption.

“The year was [2001], and @mtv was IT! I was 16, and I was picked to compete on stage for the title of Britney’s #1fan,” she continued. “I remember exactly where I was when I got the call – in my basketball coaches [sic] office. I cried. I couldn’t believe it!”

Cabral recalled that she “rushed home” to compose her lyrics and “memorized it,” rehearsing it “day and night” before performing it in front of the 19-year-old singer at MTV’s Times Square studio.

The Britney-loving teen-turned-Bravolebrity wrote an original song for Spears — who was promoting her eponymous third studio album when “Total Britney Live” aired in November 2001 — that referenced everything related to the entertainer, from her iconic fairy tattoo to her romance with then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

Cabral — who wore a red T-shirt emblazoned with Spears’ image for the occasion, tied up to flaunt her midriff to match her favorite artist’s signature style — noted that she became nervous during sound check before the big moment.

“My heart skipped a beat. I teared up,” she shared. “At the age of 16, I somehow got my way on a stage to perform for Britney Spears. Cameras go up. I took a deep breath and just went for it.”

Cabral was delightfully shocked to be named Spears’ No. 1 fan by host Carson Daly.

“I won! I friggin won!” she added. “THIS was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Britney was my idol. She was everything to me!”

The Boujie Kidz founder acknowledged that her ditty has been making the rounds on the internet, which she appreciates looking back on as an adult — even if a portion of social media trolls have been poking fun at her over the eager display.

“I’m seeing old MTV clips going around, and I love it! They are probably posting to try and embarass [sic] me or make fun of this moment, but for a kid in [2001], this was THE TOP! I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life!” she concluded.

“@britneyspears I will dance with you any day of the friggin week, STILL! #HER#1FAN.”

Cabral will soon be following in Spears’ footsteps by releasing her debut single.

In May, she told Pvnew’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that she recorded a techno song inspired by the drama she endured during production for “RHONJ” Season 14.

“It’s a techno song. I can’t even believe I’m saying it! But it was so fun. It was really a good time,” Cabral enthused at the time.

“Anybody can really rock to it,” she told us, asserting that the track is not directed at any of her castmates in particular. “It’s kind of like, ‘Watch me, when you see me, you’re gonna know I’m good’ type of thing.”

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
