Jake Kelly

this is one of the best nights of my life

Madeline

you are one of the most entertaining, intelligent people to listen to, ilysm zack🫶🫶

I am probably the elder snake around here, let me tell you, there was nothing like being 15 years old and seeing this video.

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

And yes, yes yes to one the most misogynistic time in recent history. All anyone has to do is watch American pie. Sorry Taylor, wish you picked another movie reference for so high school.

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

And yes, number two to the trigger for eating disorders.

i too was 15, when baby one more time came out. and i hated it 😅. if you were into alanis, björk, tori, heather, fiona, jewel etc. britney was kind of the antithesis, she felt superficial and planted. i do realize now how iconic this all was, but at the time it didn't really feel like this. (at least not to me.) it's funny how i see this differently now. but i don't regret not being a britney fan back then because i had the best of times with my other girlies :) but i gotta say: even though i wasn't a big fan, her (earlier) songs are definitely part of the soundtrack of my time at school :)

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

It was a big fan of all of those artists as well, I just mean this video had such a cultural impact, you couldn’t forget it. I think for me it was more so the body image anxiety and comparison that really stuck with me.

I was 11 & Britney was everything! -Crazy (stop remix lol) mv had celebs bc of the movie Drive Me Crazy! I remember going to opening weekend and the whole theater CLAPPING when the song played on screen during the movie, Britney wasn’t even in it. That’s how loved Britney was during this time! -ugh what an awful time to be a girl/woman in general, let alone a woman in the industry. It’s so dark looking back -how tf did Zach know Britney’s midriff was the start of my body image issues in 5th/6th grade?? Are we all living the same life!? -it’s fucked up that we are reverting back to those body standards (looking at you Kim K and your weird waist manipulation-I can’t imagine seeing that at 11 😭)

Kat

If I could erase Britney’s midriff from my memories, my brain might finally know peace from body image shit. I wish I was exaggerating. You really had to live through it to understand the impact on little girls. It was shoved down our throats by every piece of media and EVERY “it” girl started losing weight & trying to emulate this look. y2k was such a dark time psychologically to grow up as a woman

Kat

“Britney said to vote for George Bush” exactly that’s why we shouldn’t be obsessed with celebrities speaking on politics. They’ve been trying to use celebs to “rock the vote” for decades and a huge percentage of young ppl still don’t vote! We gotta stop the obsession of our favs making a political impact. We can have more of an impact simply telling a handful of friends to make a plan to vote, carpooling to a voting station to help someone with a ride, etc.

Did you happen to read her book? There was so much control over everything she put in her mouth and her exercise routine. That did not just come without disorder.

Kylee

If you’re talking about Hit Me, I was eleven. I still remember standing in front of the tv, waiting for TRL to watch this. Still remember watching every vma performance live. MTV was our only connection to these celebrities!

Swiftologist

Of course! I have a whole video about it lolol

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

The every time video kills me now knowing she was forced to terminate her pregnancy. It makes so much more sense now.

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

Can you believe people started commenting that she gained weight because of the I’m a slave 4 u VMA performance? Millennial women didn’t stand a chance.

Krista 🤓🫀🧠

I was responding to one of the other commenters Zac! I loved your video on her memoir! That’s actually how I found you funny enough, and your Prince Harry memoir video was equally compelling. I’ll make sure to use peoples names next time 😂

Rebeca

Please react to the new Katy Perry video. What is happening there? I’ll watch this deep dive on my way home

Sean

Thank you!!

HaleyJean ASMR

legendary. still one of the most beautiful girls in the world. born in 2000 and im a slave for u was my sexual awakening when i discovered it in childhood LOOLL.

HaleyJean ASMR

“this is iconic you IDIOTS” !!!!!

Lauren Bingham

DID THE SNAKES SEE THE STUFF TSHOCKEYBRO WAS DOING?

Tyler

Calling someday a flop is a crime Zachary

Tyler

I wrote the chorus of 3 on a note in school and got sent to the principals office, a phone call home and detention

Kylee

Bellissima deep dive Britologist, you did mother proud 😘 And it’s nice to see a wave of Britney throughout the discord, I think we all needed the reminder 👑 All I wish for my girly Brit, is that whatever she does from this moment forward, may she try and find the peace that she deserves. She’s given us so much already, and I don’t think we could ask for more🙏

Kylee

This is the best thing I’ve heard today. 😭

Kylee

Kev on his shirtless vigilante shit again?

Erika Diego

This was such a treat to watch! Thanks Swiftologist for putting this together. What a walk down memory lane. I was about 10 yrs old when Britney hit the scene with Hit Me Baby, and in an instant she was undeniably THE pop princess of the early 00s! Her choreography and iconography was so fresh and, like you referenced, it’s fascinating to see the influence of her style in pop girlies who grew up influenced by the peak Britney era! It’s so sad at the same time to have learned later on how bad things were for her behind the scenes.

caroline

I was 9 when Hit me baby came out! Britney was my idol. I memorized so much of her choreography and wrote her a fan letter in a rainbow pencil. The take down of the chat attendee who didn’t put some fucking respect on her name was everything 🔥

Terry B

Thanks for the pop culture history-biography 🤗 Get some rest, Zach, you look tired 😁

Maxi Schäfer

idk if there’s much to deep dive but I would love one with Carly Rae Jepsen

Meredith

Legendary! I love Britney I grew up with her and went to so many of her concerts!!

Lexi

this made me EMOTIONAL! we really owe it all to her! it’s hell on earth to be heavenly….

Kirsten

There isn’t a millennial alive that doesn’t have everything Britney as part of their formative experiences/core memories. Quintessential QUEENDOM!!!!

Aif

The end of this video is iconic looll

Rachel Lees

I’m dead!!!!!! My parents told me the same shit about I Love Rock and Roll. I still get made fun of for that!! 🤣😂🤣😂

Rachel Lees

I also am obsessed with the live version of Oops.. I rewatch the VMA performance monthly

Swiftologist

TRUSTTT it's getting covered on kiki lounge.

Lizzy

Same! I was 11 or 12. It was spice girls straight into britney. My friends and I made up dances

sarah mcallister

I loved this episode - She was and is so talented - I hate what happened to her

Mary Kate Dennis

Break the ice is Britney's Cruel Summer tbh. if we had gotten a live action version of the music video we actually got it would've changed the culture

G

Why is this twitch stream video quality better than my eyeballs

Gabriel

I had a music video analysis project in my sophomore year English class, to which I chose I Wanna Go for some reason in my peak Britney stan era. She said some of the videos would be shown in front of the class and she didn’t pick mine so I asked her every day for like a week to do mine and I have NO idea how I got away with that but she did 😭😭 rewatching it I cannot believe she caved. But I just had an important lesson in boots!

Cynthia

Carson Daly etc MTV it was this time! and that was sooo much fun

Cynthia

Zack you are so EXCELLENT at all this -- encyclopedia brain!!!

Maxi Schäfer

best 2 hours of my week, no one does it like the spearsologist

LH

Meanwhile Matt Lauer is being a certified mfer at that same place of work. I remember watching these interviews in real time and people were eating it up because they could see that She was about to lose it. Nobody listened when she said “there will be 100 oopses, I’m not perfect, I’m human”

Rachel

That octave jump in Stronger will always remind me of Hit Clips

A

We really stood NO fucking chance.

A

Zack when you said “I feel like I know him” about Eli in the Oops video I almost DIED because we went to school together and he got so much shit from people for being in this video…

A

Also they decided his voice wasn’t deep enough and dubbed it 😂

Nicholas

Please do a Miley deep dive! For Patreon ONLY obviously lol 😂 I’m interested to know what songs should be part of Miley’s Super Bowl Halftime show, as she’s the rumored 2025 performer! 🙏🏼

Nicholas

‘EVERY TIME’ song and video is FOREVER iconic!!!

Olga M

Thanks for this episode. What a trip down memory lane. I was in my preteen years when Britney came out and I was mesmerized!! I definitely remember my parents commenting on her sexiness (but it’s not like they’re Christian at all haha)

Olga M

Omg… I just remembered I was like 13 watching vmas with my parents and she stripped of her suit after doing Satisfaction and I DIED.

Olga M

Everytime is about her miscarriage. The blood in the video is horrifying for that reason. As a woman in my thirties now this song and video is sooo painful.

saskia (tv)

would love it if we could get audio only versions of these videos for those of us who commute and consume audio only content most of the time🙏🫶

lyrium

doesnt seem right tbh

Arly Hernandez

Loved this deep dive! Britney was the first pop star I ever fell in love with it and I rooted for her so hard when she was going through those tough times. I know these type of reflections are more common now since the Free Britney movement and her memoir, but it was still very touching to see a look through her career with such a thoughtful and empathetic lens. Thank you ❤️🫂

Madisson

Toxic was the first music video i ever remember seeing. I was born the year it came out, but my mom used to put mtv on while she cleaned the house on Sundays. I had to have been two maybe three when i saw it for the first time and it literally made me a conscious human being. Her power.

Jaqi Jarboe

The disrespect for the punk queens is hurting me

Maja Gunhold

you dragging the dadologist to see material girls is the equivalent of taylor pushing ME! as the only single from lover for a whole ass year onto all of us

Rebecca

Thank you so much sir, this was excellent! The details, music videos, and performances were so good! I am a child of the 80's so Madonna is a queen but my love for her made me appreciate Brittney even more. I love a good hard working, authentic, pop queen! Taylor's niche is her song writing, that's what makes her special. Briittney's is her dancing. She was amazing and such a beauty. Its sad to see that a horrible man was allowed to take over her lifr. And a lot of people watched and let it happen. I hope her story can end on a high note 🙏Thank you for allways slaying on the deep dives!

Mia Mar

Love your acknowledgment of being sexy and being God fearing being able to coincide, something many still can’t fathom!

Mia Mar

Beyonce deep dive PLEASE

Nadine

DYING over the cover stories

Beth

Too many thoughts about this whole thing but I'm just so happy she is being recognised now for the absolute trail blazer icon she is. Loved the deep dive video! I am also a 'Break the ice' stan. What I will say is as a girlie pop who did grow up in the late 90s early 2000 I can tell you now it was NOT Britney spears that messed me up or was a bad influence of me it was, in fact, the incredibly aggressive and mysognistic messaging of the media at that time.

Danielle_Tomi

This deep dive was so truly incredible, someone who gets it from the beginning. The original doll and people don’t get it won’t get it. So much discography and lore 😍💕

Danielle_Tomi

This makes so much sense to my brain 🤩

Krisi

The Toxic bodysuit is actually not a bodysuit. She was naked and they glued the crystals all over her body.

Lisa Gallegos Dog Training

When I was in 5th grade I wanted to do 1k sit ups per day to look like her, and I did like 10 for 3 days and then gave up 🤣

Jill

BEYONCÉ NEXT PLS

Brianna Montgomery

The first one to ever do it, period. She is the foundation of all that had been laid since. The Mother of Pop.

Kayla Durham

The “ Hit Me Baby One More Time” music video changed my brain chemistry in 7th grade

Kayla Durham

I have the fondest memories of “Sometimes” from middle school dances 🥰 It was always the slow dance song.. The lyrics were perfect for a shy middle schooler

Kayla Durham

“Slave For You” choreo is Brian Friedman…Love his choreo
