Britney Spears 'Madonna taught me to be true to myself'

Britney Spears says Madonna helped her through some of her more difficult times in life.

The pair collaborated on the track Me Against The Music and famously kissed onstage at the MTV awards eight years ago and Spears claims Madonna helped her by teaching her to listen to her instincts.

“I guess she’s really taught me to stay true to myself,” Britney said.

“That seems like a simple thing to say, but she taught me through action, not just by saying it.

“There are so many people around you that have opinions, but you just have to listen to your instincts.”

Spears was recently asked what people don’t know about her.

“I’m pretty normal, you know?” she replied. Like I said, the type of day I love is just like everybody else’s. I’m like everybody else.”
