I will say, there were a couple items I saw that were a little better than what’s been put out in the past (if you’re some big fan that is), but a few of these particularly silly ones remain up. The jacket, it could maybe be fine if you’re a MEGA fan maybe, but that price tag… oof.

I predict some Loungefly fans liking the backpack, but it’s just too dumb looking to me. Plus, I thought fans were pissed off she was over sexualized w/ that outfit and its stuff like that that led to her downfall? (Jk, the fans love saying that and then worship her oversexualized looks from her younger years all the same)

In the book, a copy of which was obtained by TIME ahead of its Oct. 24 release, Spears writes that while she, Madonna, and Christina Aguilera were rehearsing their performance of "Like a Virgin," they had always practiced an air kiss. But, right before they were set to go on the night of the show, Spears started to think that it might be a good idea to switch things up.

"About two minutes before the performance, I was sitting on the side of the stage and thinking about my biggest performance to date at the VMAs, when I'd pulled off a suit to reveal a sparkly outfit," she writes, referencing her performance of "Oops!...I Did It Again" at the 2000 VMAs. "I thought to myself: I want a moment like that again this year. With the kiss, should I just go for it?"

Spears goes on to explain how the kiss became a generation-defining moment in pop culture. "A lot was made of that kiss," she writes. "Oprah asked Madonna about it. The kiss was treated as a huge cultural moment—'Britney kissing Madonna!'—and it got us both a lot of attention."
