Halsey recently released a new song called “Lucky,” which samples Britney Spears’ 2000 track of the same name. Britney initially expressed feeling bullied by the song in a statement on her X account, but later clarified that she did not feel that way and deleted the negative reaction, calling it “fake news.”
Britney also mentioned that she loves Halsey and deleted the post out of that love. In the original post, Britney accused Halsey of creating a music video that felt “illegal and downright cruel,” causing her to feel harassed, violated, and bullied.
She threatened legal action against Halsey. However, Halsey clarified that she had received permission from Britney to record the track and had involved her in the process.
She shared that Britney’s song “Lucky” had a profound impact on her growing up, and she felt compelled to record her own version after going through health battles. Overall, Britney and Halsey seem to have resolved any misunderstandings, with Halsey expressing her deep admiration for Britney and the inspiration she has provided over the years. It is clear that both artists have a mutual respect for each other and appreciate each other’s work.
