The pop star is trying to clear up a bit of a mess. Britney Spears is explaining why a message on her X account claimed she felt “bullied” by Halsey's new song "Lucky," which samples Spears' 2000 track of the same name about the difficulties of being famous. Shortly after the July 26 statement appeared on Spears' account, the “Toxic” singer deleted the negative reaction and called it “fake news.” "That was not me on my phone !!!" read another July 26 message on X. "I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it." Do you think that Britney made the original comment?
