Britney Spears had harsh words — which she swiftly retracted — against Halsey, initially lashing out at the singer for lifting inspiration from the video for her 2000 single “Lucky.”
Spears took to social media this afternoon to blast the Gia Coppola-directed music video for Halsey’s new single, which pays homage to her 2000 single “Lucky.” She stated that she felt “harassed, violated and bullied” by Halsey’s video interpretation and that it made her look like a “superficial pop star.”
But shortly after, she deleted the post and replaced it with a new one, claiming, “Fake news !!! That was not me on my phone !!! I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it !!!”

Halsey chimed in, quote-tweeting Spears’ post and writing, “and I love Britney!!!! I always have and always will 💕 you were the first person who ever made me realize what it means to feel inspired. And you continue to inspire me everyday.”
