While most brides reserve kisses for their spouse on their wedding day, Britney Spears was locking lips with Madonna in a bid to recreate their infamous on-stage kiss from the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
It has been almost two decades since Britney and Madonna stunned audiences everywhere by engaging in a showy smooch during a performance that also featured Christina Aguilera. Britney has always put Madonna on a pedestal, and when she invited her to her wedding to Sam Asghari, the pair posed for the camera while displaying their affection for one another.

Britney, 40, and Madonna, 63, seemingly shared the intimate moment during the wedding reception, as the bride was dressed down in a short red mini dress in lieu of her white wedding gown designed by Donatella Versace.
Britney’s wedding day included a very exclusive list of attendees, including Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez, and Maria Menunos. The pop star’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart, who played a pivotal role in Britney regaining her freedom from a 13-year-long conservatorship, was also in attendance.
Britney’s battle for freedom from a lengthy conservatorship played out in the media while Britney battled her father, Jamie Spears, as the overbearing and power-hungry ruler of her ‘person’ and her estate. According to Britney, Jamie micro-managed her every move and would not allow her relationship with Asghari to progress, banning her from getting married and having a baby with him.
Britney finally broke out of her conservatorship in November 2021, allowing her access to her finances and her personal freedom. According to an insider, Britney’s wedding was everything she ever dreamed of. “It ended up being the happiest night for Britney. She wanted a fairytale wedding and she got it. Britney looked stunning. She is very excited to be married. She looks forward to a future with Sam,” they said.
Britney and Madonna’s original kiss back in 2003 stirred up some controversy. Speaking to CNN at the time, Britney said, “I didn’t know it was going to be that long and everything. I’ve never kissed a woman before”. When asked if she would do it again, a young Britney responded, “No, I would not do it.
Maybe with Madonna.” The kiss instantly became an unforgettable moment in pop culture history. Britney referenced her Madonna kiss once again in 2018 during her ‘Piece of Me’ Tour at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, saying, “The last time I was on this stage, I kissed a girl — her name was Madonna!”
