Macy Gray and Britney Spears are two superstars who may have crossed paths, but aren’t exactly BFFs.
While Britney’s name is synonymous with pop culture, Macy’s talent has been under the radar for decades.
Despite their joint rise to fame, the two never quite connected – except for one memorable encounter in a recording studio, which Macy recently shared with fans.
Macy in an interview with The Project presenters, said, “We were in the same studio once, and she skateboarded into my session. Literally.
“She was in the room down the hall, and we looked up and all of a sudden she was skating into our room. And then we talked for a little bit and we didn’t really, like, hit it off.”
Luckily, that didn’t soil her image of Britney.
“I’m still a groupie to this day. I’m sitting there with Britney Spears, you know, and I kinda stuttered,” she said.
“I didn’t know what to say. And she kinda rolled her eyes. Whatever I said, she was kind of annoyed by it and she left. She rolled her eyes and she rolled out!”
Macy also mentioned that Britney’s album Blackout was “the best album ever” and that the song “Radar” remains one of her all-time favorites.
She revealed that Blackout provided her with the energetic boost she needed before performing.
Macy and Britney may not be friends now, but they could always form a friendship in the future.
Macy has always shown great respect for Britney and her work. If they did become greater friends, Macy didn’t imply that in any way. So perhaps they’re just musical contemporaries.
In a 2007 interview, Macy shared her thoughts on Britney’s challenging situation, acknowledging the difficulties she was facing with grace and understanding.
She said, ‘She’s human and those are very heavy situations for anyone to deal with, and I’m sure it just doubles it that everyone watches and makes fun of it. So I actually feel really bad for her.’
Later in the interview, she shared her thoughts on ‘craziness,’ saying, ‘Craziness is such a subjective word. You can be crazy any time you stand out or do things differently.’
Both Britney and Macy have done that, so maybe they’ll be friends in the future.
