American pop icon Britney Spears has left fans and Brummies alike baffled and intrigued
American pop star, Britney Spears, known for chart-topping hits like ‘Toxic’ and ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’, has recently stirred up intrigue and curiosity among her fans and especially, Brummies.
She shared a sketch on her Instagram that bears a striking resemblance to some of Birmingham’s most iconic buildings.
The sketch, captioned “Just a pen, and a church”, features what appears to be St Martin’s Church in the foreground, with the recognisable shape and texture of the Bullring shopping centre behind it.
The drawing has sparked a flurry of speculation and excitement among fans and residents of Birmingham, with many wondering if the pop star has a secret affinity for the UK city.
The reaction to Spears’ sketch has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans expressing their delight and surprise at this unexpected ‘collab’ on social media.
One Instagram page, @bhamupdates, reposted the sketch, saying: "Mom, we've made it. Bravo bab."
One fan commented, “The most unexpected collab but the best. I didn’t know I needed it.” Another fan humorously referenced one of Spears’ biggest hits, saying, "Hit Me Bab One More Time".
The Bullring shopping centre also joined in on the fun, sharing the drawing on its Instagram account alongside a real-life picture of the iconic sites with a jokey reference to one of her most famous songs, writing, "Sketch me baby one more time!"
Despite the excitement and speculation, Spears has not confirmed that the sketch is of Birmingham’s iconic buildings. However, fans are enjoying the idea of the singer taking creative inspiration from the UK city.
Whether or not Britney Spears is a secret Brummie remains a mystery, but one thing is for sure - her sketch has certainly put Birmingham’s landmarks in the global spotlight.
