Apart from talking about these major celebrities, the Toxic singer also shared her thoughts on how life’s dynamics shift as we transition into adulthood: “Let’s talk about how your other half growing up is usually your best friend. Y’all literally finish each other's sentences and you don’t really look alike but because you’re always together, your mannerisms, the way you speak, and even walk it’s almost like you’re the same f–king people." Spears added in the story, “Years go by and you get married and you grow up and live worlds apart!!! It’s called life!!!”

The singer also wrote about how friendships change and don't remain the same as they were in childhood, wondering why things change. In a moment of self-reflection, Spears admitted she wasn’t entirely sure why she even put those thoughts out there but wrapped up her post with a hint of what’s to come.

What also caught everyone's eye was that Taylor Swift didn't make it to the list this time, although Spears has previously confessed to having a girl crush on her. She once remembered meeting Swift during her Oops!… I Did It Again Tour, recalling how Swift played a beautiful song on her guitar, as reported by Page Six. Back then, Spears also confessed that she’d watch Swift’s music videos over movies any day. She praised Swift as the most iconic pop artist of our time in an Instagram post. Spears shared two photos of herself with Swift from 2003 and 2008.
