Billie Eilish could hardly contain herself – literally – when she saw Britney Spears dancing to one of her songs earlier this month.
“I almost pooped my pants,” the 18-year-old singer admitted on her me & dad radio show.
Spears shared a video on July 14 showing her dancing to Eilish’s song “bury a friend” inside her home. She captioned it: “Need I say more ….. Billie !!!! I know ..... I should makeup on and brush my hair but I just wanna dance !!!!!”
For Eilish, it was a full circle moment. “I used to dance in the living room to [“…Baby One More Time”] on my tiny little horrible speaker,” she recalled, calling Spears’ 1998 hit “an incredible song.”
Eilish said she also used to dance to music by Avril Lavigne, specifically the Canadian singer’s 2002 track “Losing Grip.”
“We used to just get down to this song,” recalled Eilish. “Oh my God, we used to just scream this song in the car. ... I've never heard a sound like that in my life. There is no other song like this.”
