Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears were the ultimate starlets of the early 2000s. From constant media coverage to a shared fan base, it was easy for the media to set up the blonde pop stars as rivals. However, in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Aguilera recalls the pressure of being pitted against Spears.

“It’s hard to hear yourself being called names,” she said the October issue cover story. “I remember being hurt by these commercials on MTV, pitting Britney as the good girl and me as the bad girl. It’s like, if I’m going to be demure and innocent, that’s OK. But if I’m going to just be myself, I’m trouble.” 

Aguilera went on to explain the vast transformations of the music industry; how artists are finally now having the power to define their style and sexuality.

“I love the female body, and I think it’s something to be proud of, not something that men should dictate ownership of,” she said. “[My 2002 song] ‘Dirrty’ was extremely controversial at the time, but it would be nothing now. I hope I paved the way and helped set the ground rules that women can be any version of themselves they wanna be…and proud of it.”
