It appears that Christina Aguilera wasn’t too pleased with the media and cameras focusing more on Britney Spears’ involvement in their iconic kiss at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards than her own. During an interview with Andy Cohen in 2018, Aguilera commented, “It was weird, and you know why they cut away for it? Because, you know, they cut away to get Justin’s reaction. It was a Justin reaction shot … They were exes, but still, it was a cheap shot.” She went on to say, “I definitely saw the newspaper the next day and I was like, ‘Oh, well. I guess I got left out of that.”
However, Spears doesn’t seem to have any regrets about the moment. In 2022, she even recreated the VMA kiss with Madonna during her wedding to Sam Asghari. She posted an Instagram shot of the kiss with the caption, “Weird that @madonna is extremely short and I was shorter than her … do we shrink as we get older? Am I becoming short like my mom ??? Kissing the one and only Madonna !!! I didn’t know Madonna has almost as many number-one singles as The Beatles !!! So honored she came to my wedding … perspective … The Beatles have 20 and miss thang has 12 !!!”
