As one-half of the America’s sweetheart duo that was Britney and Justin from 1999 to 2002, the former knows that the worst possible way to further stab JT in the back–other than cheating on him with choreographer Wade Robson–is to admit a lifelong love of the Backstreet Boys. Better known as: NSYNC’s ultimate boy band rival.
But alas, Brit showed she doesn’t care about playing games with Justin’s heart (not that he ever cared about playing games with hers) after posing for a photo of herself and none other than two-fifths of the Backstreet Boys, Kevin Richardson and A.J. McLean. The duo apparently saw fit to come see Spears’ revamped Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood, where Spears gave McLean the “Unapologetic Bitch” treatment by inviting him up onstage during “Freakshow.”
She later posted a photo with just McLean captioned: “Huge confession…biggest @backstreetboys fan! Tonight was truly a dream for me.” Naturally, someone like Britney probably was more into Backstreet Boys due to their decidedly less “clean-cut” image compared to the squeakier NSYNC. Though plenty of “shocking” revelations about certain NSYNC boy band members would come out later.
In any case, it’s pretty obvious that the Backstreet Boys have far more retrospective appeal as they were the sort of dirty “greasers” your mom never would have wanted to let into the house. Unless, of course, she was taking her cues from the Mrs. George from Mean Girls school of parenting. But maybe there is a method to Brit’s madness as she tries to dilute the attention that was brought to her “endorsing” Hillary by posing for some pictures with her and hashtagging #ImWithHer in an evident misguided judgment while the presidential hopeful was in Vegas–the hub of politicking, clearly.
