The ‘Make Me’ singer claimed she’d never met Swift, but photos prove otherwise.
Taylor Swift must not have made much of an impression on Britney Spears on the two documented occasions that the pop stars met. Appearing on Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O recently, Spears said she’d never met the ‘Blank Space’ singer, as fans rushed to find evidence to the contrary.

During the interview Spears and the hosts played a simple game of “Who Would You Rather?” The singer was asked who she’d rather sit next to on a long -haul flight to Australia, Taylor Swift or her rumoured rival Katy Perry.

"I don’t know! I don’t know, that’s hard. They’re both so cool, I don’t know," Spears said. "I’ve briefly met Katy Perry at the Smurfs movie premiere. Maybe because I’ve met Katy Perry I would say Taylor Swift, because I’ve never met her before.”

But fans who clearly have a much better memory than Spears were quick to bring out the evidence on Twitter, showing that the two had met, not once, but twice. Spears could be forgiven for forgetting their first encounter as it happened in 2003, before Swift was famous.

But the second time they met was five years later at the 2008 MTV VMAs, where Swift was nominated for Best New Artist and Spears took home three awards. The pair even posed for a photo together, and judging by their wavy blonde hair they may have even shared a stylist for the evening.
