Now you can become the owner of one of the most iconic pop culture moments
Britney Spears and Madonna’s 2003 kiss, a shocking moment from one of the most memorable and controversial female performances in history, is now being auctioned as a non-fungible token (NFT) by photographer John Shearer, TMZ reports.
Proceeds from the sale, which will be made on the NFT Cryptograph auction platform, will be donated to the LGBT media advocacy organization GLAAD.
Spears and Christina Aguilera, two irreconcilable rivals at the height of their business, share the same stage in bridal wear, which caught the attention of fans who joined the Video Music Awards in 2003. But the real fun began when the pop queen herself emerged. On stage as “The Groom”.
Then, everyone’s jaw dropped when Madonna began hugging Spears on stage, with cameras quickly focusing on her ex-boyfriend of the Princess of Pop, Justin Timberlake, seemingly ignoring Aguilera.
The infamous kiss sent the media into a mass frenzy the next day, and it became a pop culture staple and one of the VMA’s most iconic moments (on a par with Spears’s Serpentine performance, Lady Gaga’s meat dress and Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech).
Madonna, who also collaborated with Spears on her song “Me Against The Music,” recently criticized the pop star’s strict guardianship, and has become an advocate for the #FreeBritney movement.
As reported by U.Today, Spears was rumored to use bitcoin to hide money from her abusive father, Jamie Spears.
After shocking new allegations about Jamie Spears placing his daughter under intense surveillance in a recently published New York Times documentary, he was recently suspended from the role of the pop star’s guardian.
