‘This is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!’ Britney Spears reacts with delight over Selena Gomez singing her song Don’t Go Knockin’ on My Door as a young child in throwback video


Britney Spears is feeling the love from her pop peers – particularly Selena Gomez.

On Friday, it seemed that Britney had been catching up with her social media, and saw that Selena, 28, had posted an adorable throwback video of her performing one of Spears’ songs as a child. 

Commenting on Selena’s post, Britney wrote Friday: ‘This is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!!!!’ 

Future superstar! Selena Gomez  posted a throwback video of herself as a child singing the song Don’t Go Knockin’ on My Door.. which has caught Britney Spears’ attention 

To confirm her excitement, Britney added a scream, heart, and dancing lady emoji alongside her cute message.

With all the hardship Britney is going through currently – she is due in court next month regarding her father Jamie Spears’ control over her life – it must be comforting to see other pop stars supporting her.  

In the throwback video – that was posted earlier this week on Tuesday – Selena could be seen as a child singing  Britney’s song Don’t Go Knockin’ At My Door.

As the song ended, Selena confidently removed her sunglasses from her face and gazed at the camera with a fierce expression.

‘The hustle was real,’ Selena captioned the video.

Fast forward years later, and Selena is no longer doing covers but instead singing her own tracks.

Selena has released three studio albums including the chart-topping Rare in 2015. She recently released her very first extended play in Spanish, Revelacion, which contains the hit track De Una Vez.

‘This has been something I’ve wanted to do for 10 years, working on a Spanish project, because I’m so, so proud of my heritage, and just genuinely felt like I wanted this to happen,’ she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music.

‘And it happened, and I feel like it’s the perfect timing. Just with all the division in the world, there’s something about Latin music that globally just makes people feel things, you know.’

Also starring comic legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, the show follows three true-crime loving strangers who ‘suddenly find themselves caught up in one,’ according to IMDB.

The series will premiere August 31, 2021.
