Britney Spears wants to duet with Selena Gomez
Britney Spears has reached out to Selena Gomez to propose the idea of a proper duet.
The two pop stars recently joined forces with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Mary J. Blige for charity track Hands, which was released earlier this month (Jul16) to raise funds for those affected by the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in June (16).
Selena made reference to the star-studded collaboration in a
Snapchat video on Tuesday (19Jul16), telling fans, "Well babe,
technically I have done a duet with Britney. (It's) called Hands,
buy it."
The clip was later shared on Twitter on a Gomez fan account, and it
caught the eye of Britney herself on Thursday (21Jul16), who
decided to propose the idea of actually hitting the studio together
in the near future.
"Technically, yes," the Toxic hitmaker responded to Selena, before
adding, "But when are we working on our actual duet
@selenagomez?"
The tweet sent fans into a frenzy, and while the Come and Get It
singer has yet to publicly reply to Britney's invite, she is sure
to be excited about the idea of working with her childhood pop
idol.
Selena has made no secret about her admiration for Spears. In an
interview with Marie Claire magazine earlier this year (16), she
revealed, "My first concert was Britney Spears. First CD I ever
bought as well, ...Baby One More Time."
"We were all the way up in the nosebleeds where I was living my
life, it was so fun," the 23-year-old gushed.
Hands is not the first time Selena has technically worked with
Spears - her 2011 track Whiplash was actually co-written by
Britney, but was passed on to Gomez after it failed to make the cut
for her 2008 album, Circus.
