Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus have long shared mutual admiration, stemming from their respective journeys as young stars. Britney, who rose to fame on The Mickey Mouse Club, and Miley, who became a household name through Hannah Montana, have crossed paths multiple times over the years. Recently, Britney surprised fans by revealing an unusual connection in an Instagram post where she mentioned dreaming about Miley and her sister, Noah Cyrus.
In her post, Britney shared a photo of the Basílica de Ecce Homo in Israel, reflecting on her visit to the sacred site. She wrote: “Repost !!! Inside Basílica de Ecce Homo in Israel 🇮🇱 … they always show pictures of outside … The inside is sacred … I’ve been but for some reason, I didn’t take any pictures. But I do remember women with their eyes closed speaking in tongues !!!!! Convent of the Sisters of Zion !!!” Britney then ended her caption with the unexpected statement: “Psss why am I having dreams about Miley Cyrus showing me her new shoes with her sister Noah WTF !!!”
Miley, a lifelong admirer of Britney, has frequently shown her respect for the Toxic singer. From their professional collaborations to public displays of support, the bond between the two stars has grown over the years. Notable interactions include Britney praising Miley’s 2013 hit We Can’t Stop, tweeting: “Loving your new video for #WeCantStop @MileyCyrus! Maybe you can teach me how to twerk sometime.”
During Britney’s struggles with her conservatorship, Miley became a vocal supporter. At the 2021 Super Bowl weekend performance of Party in the U.S.A., Miley gave Britney a heartfelt shoutout, saying, “We love Britney!” This moment, widely shared online, reinforced Miley’s consistent advocacy for her fellow pop star during difficult times, including the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which highlighted Britney’s mistreatment in the 2000s.
Their connection also extended into the studio with their 2013 collaboration on SMS (Bangerz). Miley’s admiration even extended to her fashion choices—she attended the opening night of Britney’s Piece of Me residency in Las Vegas wearing a backpack adorned with a vintage Britney photo.
Beyond their public bond, both stars have experienced sibling challenges. Britney remains estranged from her sister Jamie Lynn, while Miley has had her own ups and downs with Noah. Despite these struggles, their mutual respect and shared history continue to capture the attention and affection of fans worldwide.
