It's 2020, And Britney Spears Just Had The Cutest Interaction With Justin Timberlake

Britney Spears's Instagram is truly the gift that keeps on giving. On Wednesday (April 15), the superstar posted one of her regular IG videos — there she is, rocking cut-off shorts as well as a floral crop top; twirling and sticking her tongue out as she dances to a upbeat pop song. Nevertheless on this truly blessed day, she graciously acknowledged Justin Timberlake's existence by soundtracking the clip to her ex's 2018 track "Filthy." Be still our nostalgic hearts!


"This is my version of Snapchat or TikTok or whichever the cool thing you're supposed to do these days !!!!! As you could visualize I’m not really dancing folks …… I'm just very bored," Spears wrote alongside the filtered clip. Here's where things get interesting: "PS I know we had one of the world's biggest breakups 20 years ago… nevertheless hey the man is a genius !!!! Wonderful song JT !!!! Pssss in case you KNOW WHAT'S GOOD."


In an even more unexpected development, Timberlake saw Spears's post and responded crying-laughing emoji as well as several raised hands. And so, the rift between the hugest couple of the early aughts has been magically mended!


Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn Spears also took to the comments to assist her big sis: "Blogs are already plotting their outrageous stories," she wrote. "You keep having fun and looking beautiful tho!!"


event in the scenario that you require a refresher, Spears and Timberlake broke up back in 2002 soon after dating for three years. Both stars have inferred that their relationship ended because of cheating, and so they both released iconic hits inspired by their split (ever heard of "Cry Me A River" and "Everytime"?!) Nevertheless that's all water under the bridge right now, especially because both Spears and Timberlake have completely moved on — she's dating model Sam Asghari, while he's happily wedded to Jessica Biel.
