‘Feel Like I’m Not a Girl’ – Serena Williams Once Opened Up About Her Life-Long Obsession With Britney Spears

Serena Williams is a well-rounded person. Her life doesn’t revolve around tennis. She is a successful businesswoman, a wise investor, and a strong mother. Therefore, she finds a connection with ladies who live on their own accord and lead their fields.

One such woman is Britney Spears. Williams’ bond with her is through the medium of music. She has always found the singer’s compositions well adjusted to her palate. So much so that there was a time when she used her lyrics to forge quotes for her tweets.

Serena Williams is a Britney Spears fan

Williams, in a 2018 interview, addressed her love for Spears’ music. When asked about using her single Lucky’s verse in her tweet, she said, “I just love that song. I think it’s funny, I always tweet lyrics a lot, and some people are always like, “Are you okay? What’s going on?” I’m like, “You clearly don’t know Britney Spears.””

Thereafter, she spoke about how she relates to the stronger than yesterday. The former World no.1 said, “I love that song. I was just talking about it. And I often feel like I’m not a girl, not yet a woman. I don’t know why, because clearly I’m a woman, but I still feel like I’m not yet.”
