There's little worse than introducing yourself to someone only to be told you've already met, so we're cringing for Britney Spears today after she claimed she has never met Taylor Swift despite the existence of photographic evidence to the contrary.

While being interviewed on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show on Monday, the 34-year-old singer was asked which solo star she would rather fly long-haul with.

"Who would you rather sit next to on a 24-hour flight to Sydney: Taylor Swift or Katy Perry?" the host asked the Toxic singer.

Playing the diplomat, Britney responded: "I don't know. That's hard, They're both so cool. I don't know."

Not content to leave it there, the radio presenters probed a little further, asking: "Do you know or do you have a friendship with either of them?"

And that's when it all got a little stressful for Tay-Swizzle fans.

After confirming she had indeed met Katy Perry – albeit briefly – Britney insisted that she and the Blank Space singer had yet to cross paths.

"I briefly met Katy Perry at the Smurfs movie premiere in 2013 and I met her there really quick," Britney explained. "So maybe because I've met Katy Perry, I would say Taylor Swift because I've never met her before."

Cue the exploding of heads in the T-Swizzle fanbase.

Stunned that the pop icon would forget meeting their idol, Tay's fans trawled the internet and unearthed not one but two snaps of Britney happily posing alongside Tom Hiddleston's new bae.

Turns out Brit and Tay met as far back as 2003 before cosying up for yet another snap in 2008…

Her last single – Pretty Girls with Iggy Azalea – might have failed to set the charts alight, but that doesn't mean Britney Spears' legions of fans have lost faith in the star's ability to churn out pop stompers.

Taking to Twitter last night to share a sneak peek of the promo for her new fragrance Take A Bow, the Scream and Shout singer also teased fans with her upcoming track, and they are PUMPED.

Clocking up almost half a million likes in just a few hours, the 60-second video sent Brit's fans into meltdown as they demanded to know the release date for the upcoming song.

"I am beyond blown away by this!" gushed one Twitter user. "Your moves, your body, your charisma! You are on fire. Forever an inspiration. I adore you!"

Brit, who is currently in Las Vegas for her Piece of Me residency, looked incredible in the promo which she captioned: "My new fragrance Private Show just got a spot on the small screen. #TakeABow"

Private Show sounds like a return to classic Brit-style, and we are already obsessed.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were like a match made in superstar heaven.

The were the golden couple of the 2000s and it seemed like nothing could ever break them apart… Until, Britney allegedly cheated on JT, that is.

So when there were recent mutterings of Britney releasing a new single with a JT Cry Me A River mash-up in it, we couldn't contain our excitement.

Are they going to reunite for a little reunion? Are they teaming up for the love of music? Have they forgiven each other after all these years?!

Brit's upcoming single, Make Me (Oooh), has been on the cards for a while now, but they certainly upped the ante for it's release following a (now deleted) tweet to Britney's publicist asking whether the track "still got the Cry Me A River sample in it?"

Mmmm hmmm.

But actually, the so-called reunion might not be as amicable as once though. Cosmo is reporting that the new song might be less of a Brit and JT collab and more of a Britney-getting-back-at-Justin thing.

Either way, we CAN'T wait for the release.

A 30-year old mum-of-four who five years ago gave birth to twins as a surrogate mum for her best friend, has landed a major role as Australian Ambassador for Britney Spears’ new lingerie line, Intimate Britney Spears.

Rosie dreamed of being a model since she was a child, and was recently signed to Mint Management modelling agency to represent the brand. And, aside from modelling for several other brands, this superwoman has penned a number of books about her IVF experience.

“It's a pretty crazy amount to fit in,” Rosie told Daily Mail Australia. “I honestly don't think I could have handled all of this in my twenties, but now I think I'm more resilient and can bring something slightly different to the fashion industry.

“My work ethic is stronger than it was then, too. I know what I need to do when I turn up somewhere, and so I come along and just do it.”

Rosie’s story makes her new career all the more extraordinary. With three kids at just 24, she and her husband had built a multi-million dollar business between them. However, it failed and they lost everything, leaving them to wondering how to get their lives back on track.

However, when best friend Lauren asked Rosie to surrogate for her, she agreed. “After giving birth to two surrogate babies and seeing my friend’s face when they were placed in her arms was just magical and it’s something I will never forget,” she writes on her blog.

Unfortunately, soon after giving birth Rosie developed an infection, which left her with scarring on her uterus. Doctors told her that if she wanted another baby, she’s have to do it fast.

“We had to result to IUI and on the third attempt we were pregnant with our fourth baby,” she wrote. “After a very touch and go pregnancy our daughter was born healthy and happy at 37 weeks.”

However, just three weeks later, the infection resurfaced, with devastating results.

“I had started feeling sick with temperatures and continuous bleeding,” says Rosie. “My gynaecologist discovered a blood clot in my uterus and decided to do another operation. I still wasn't getting better though and two operations later it was decided I needed a hysterectomy."

Now, four years later, Rosie is happy and content, and despite her hardships in the past, she feels grateful for what she has.

“We are happy and healthy,” she writes. “I still and always will have issues with my girly bits and varying degrees of daily pain, but it's nothing I can't handle, I'm just thankful to be here. We realised we didn’t need the big house, fancy cars and nice things to be happy as right now we are the happiest and stress free and “brokest” we’ve been in a long time.  We’ve managed to buy a really old, small house full of character with a big backyard; it’s small but it's ours and we are happy.

You go girl! Such a great example that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. It’s so lovely to see good things happening to someone who deserves it.

When Britney Spears snuggled in for a selfie with Modern Family star, Ed O'Neill, we (like Brit) fangirled all over ourselves, but it turns out all was not as it seemed.

According to the man himself, he hadn't a bean who Britney was when she approached him for a quick pic at Los Angeles International Airport.

Commenting on the selfie which sent social media into overdrive last March, Ed, who plays Jay in the hit sitcom, said: "She came up and said, 'Oh, Mr. O'Neill, I love Modern Family, and you're my favourite on the show.' And I was like, 'Well, I'm here, I'm the only one here,'"

Insisting that that the Toxic singer was more than polite, Ed told Ellen DeGeneres: "So she sat there and we took it and I said, 'Have a nice trip, I’m going,' and I left."

"So the next day my manager texts me and goes, 'What is this? 53,000 likes. It's Britney Spears."

While the rest of us might recognise Britney Spears at a 1,000 paces, Ed admits the same couldn't be said for him that day.

"I mean, look at the look on my face – do I look like I'm sitting with Britney Spears? You know my daughter, Sophia, she said, 'You are a moron.'"

We hate to say it Ed, but we might be with Sophia on that one!

Britney Spears is planning on expanding her family very soon!

According to the National Enquirer the singer wants to adopt a child and is in love with the idea of giving a better life to a disadvantaged baby.

She's planning on taking a trip to Malawi where she will adopt a daughter as she wants to add to her family.

An inside source told the paper, "They’ve discussed the process on several occasions, and she’s always wanted a daughter.

"She's considering adopting a little girl from Malawi."

Britney already has two sons with Kevin Federline, who she split up with almost ten years ago. Further reports are suggesting she's looking to her friend Madonna for advice since she adopted David, 10 and Mercy, 10.

Tanned, toned and smiling – yup, we reckon Britney Spears' image overhaul is just about complete.

The singer has been working hard on her figure over the last couple of years, and while her steady weight loss and increased muscle tone has been clearly visible for a while now, it's her latest Instagram snaps that really hadve us taking notice.

Just weeks after sharing two "mini music videos" showing her dancing in a black two-piece, the mum of two posted some altogether more relaxed photos yesterday – and there was no hiding those abs.

One such photo shows Brit standing on a golf course with her "little munchkins" – her niece Lexie and nine-year-old son Jayden. Wearing a pink crop top and bright blue shorts, the singer looks tanned, athletic and – most importantly – happy.

So what's Britney's workout secret? Well, there's no quick fix it seems. According to the woman herself, it's all about hard work.

The singer combines short, high-intensity workouts with cardio classes and – of course – high-octane dance rehearsals when she's working.

"I like my workouts to be effective in a short amount of time. I start with 20 minutes of intense cardio – usually running -move on to light free weights, body-weight exercises such as pushups, squats, and sit-ups, then finish it off with a stretch," the singer told Women's Health last year.

Often the mum combines two workouts in one day – going for forty laps in the pool after a Totally Drenched class at her local gym, Drenched Fitness.

"I love this class. It's high-energy and combines treadmill work with circuit training. Being in a group setting pushes me to work harder," she says.

No can do it quite like Britney Spears. 

From that iconic red catsuit to her VMA's performance with the snake, Brit is a total pop icon and we can't wait to hear what new music she has coming our way. 

And according to the 34-year-old, her new album is going to be her best ever. 

"I'm proud of the work, and it's very different; it's not what you would think at all," she said to V Magazine. 

"But I'm not rushing anything. I just want it to be done right, so that my fans will truly appreciate it."

Britney is slaying three covers of V mag this month as she chats about her new music and 20 years in the spotlight. 

The mother-of-two, who is enjoying a successful Las Vegas residency, looks almost unrecognisable as she posed for the sexy snaps, topped off with a gratuitous portion of abs from a faceless male model. 

Despite songs about public scrutiny such as Piece of Me, the singer revealed that the media simply doesn't get to her anymore. 

"Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who've experienced that. You know, Justin Bieber, he's huge, and he experiences that. It's just the way the world works, unfortunately.

"I've been doing this for 20 years. I kind of don't pay attention to it. I have my relationship with God and myself and that's what matters to me. I really don't care what most people think."

We reckon she's still got it.

Time was that a red carpet event was an everyday occurrence on the busy Irish social scene.

After all, who can forget the likes of the VIP Style and the TV Now awards being the hottest tickets in town?

Charlize Theron would pop along to the Meteors, while the Iftas also boasted oodles of Hollywood attendees.

Duchess Kate and her Mammy Middleton would swing by for a weekend break in our capital (circa spring 2007), making sure to stop by a fancy-pants, red-carpeted gallery launch while they were in town.

Then there was the Eurovision, an iron-clad stable of the mid-Nineties. Even the MTV Europe Music Awards came to Dublin back in 1999 (where Christina, Mariah, Britney and Whitney – *swoon* – ALL made an appearance).

Of course, red carpet events still take place: but we dare say that there’s not quite as much glitz nor as much glam these days. Yes, the dresses are more muted; the hair decidedly less full.

Thankfully, however, you may yet have reason to dust off your Gina sandals.

Yes, the inaugural black-tie Gossies are taking place this Sunday in Dublin and suffice to say that the guestlist (Vogue Williams, Rosanna Davison, Nicola Hughes and Roz Purcell) is as impressive as anything 2006 could have offered us. Hurrah!

Here, in honour of the glamorous Gossies (where a total of 18 awards will be up for grabs), we examine the five key red carpet styles we can expect to see on the night…

 

1) Dressed to the nines

A big night out means only one thing: a really big dress. Take inspiration from Lisa Cannon in Vera Wang:

 

2) Keeping it casual

The ‘oh this old thing’ vibe. Look to Mariah Carey – dressed down in a black vest and ripped denim jeans – for ideas:

 

3) Look at me

The UTV Ireland cameras will be there at the Gossies, so expect a few head-turners, just like Michelle Keegan:

 

4) Dividing opinion

They’ll love it or they’ll hate it. Check out Lorraine Keane in a Deborah Veale gown to perfect your look:

 

5) Classic is best

Why try and reinvent the wheel – keep it simple like Kathryn Thomas:

Ah, we all love a good Britney tune. Especially from back in the day. *Que Hit Me Baby One More Time*.

And it's fair to say that Brit was the bass-ass teen star of her day, breaking away from the Disney good-girl image and becoming a sexy young woman.

 

A video posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on

Well, she doesn't seem to want to stop being that sexy young woman (and, so she shouldn't) because last night she posted a very random and mysterious video.

The pop princess shared three sexy videos on her Instagram account and we don't know if they're for a new single? A teaser to promote her return to Vegas? An ad for swimwear?

Who knows. All we know is that the girl still has it.

We don't know what possessed Britney to get rid of this stunning 3-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom New York City dwelling back in 2004 but it's back on the market for a cool 7.7 million dollars. 

The gorgeous, modern city condo features an entertaining area, spectacular views of the city and even a SWING in the front room. 

Because, why not? 

According to 6sqft.com, the gorgeous apartment spans a meagre FOUR FLOORS of a Greenwich Village building.

The property has been on the market several times but no one snapped up the gorgeous property. And we simply can't figure it out. 

The pop princess listed the property three times before the current owners nabbed it for a steal at 4 million. And it seems that the property has remained difficult to offload as the current owners have also been trying to sell it since 2008. 

And Brit MUST be happy to have gotten rid of the property just in time for the financial crisis but again we are still trying to figure out who wouldn't want to live here. 

In the words of Brit herself though, if you wanna live in a big mansion, you better 'work, bitch.'

It may be one of the biggest hits of the nineties as well as possibly the greatest debuts of all time, but did we ever pause to wonder what the phrase "Hit me baby, one more time" actually meant? 

Because, well, it is a weird sentence.

Some speculated if it was a reference perhaps to a kinky sexual fantasy or whether poor Brit was suffering from domestic abuse. 

Well, we need not speculate anymore as the songwriters have finally revealed exactly the thought process behind this now infamous lyric – and it's totally innocent.

According to new book The Song Machine by John Seabrook, the writers of the tune were in fact Swedish and they thought that the word "hit" was actually slang for "call". 

So in fact, Britney simply wanted her boy crush to phone her up sometime. 

Yep, according to the book, songwriters Max Martin and Yami Racoub came up with the phrase simply out of a language barrier. Perhaps the writers were referring to the phrase "hit me up", which unfortunately does not make much sense if you take out the "up". 

Apparently, as the Independent reports, the song was originally intended for girl group TLC who turned it down over it those questionable lyrics.

"I was like, I like the song, but do I think it’s a hit? Was I going to say ‘Hit me baby, one more time’? Hell no!" said former TLC member, T-Boz in 2013. 

It seems that this wasn't an issue for Brit who was just dying to make her stamp on the music world. However, record label bosses did change the title to simply …Baby One More Time to avoid any controversy. 

Well, we are glad that the song turned out as it did because "Call me baby, one more time" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
