These Britney Music Video Props Are Legendary

by Kristie Rohwedder

Here is a sparkling objective truth gemstone for ya: Britney Spears’s videography is one of the greatest videographies in music video history. Period. If you believe her music video catalog owes its indomitableness to the life-changing choreography, the life-changing costumes, the life-changing hairstyles, the life-changing songs, the life-changing special effects, the life-changing sets, the life-changing cameos, and the life-changing pop star, you are close. You are very close. However, that list is missing (at least) one extremely crucial element. And that element is the props. The inanimate objects sprinkled throughout Godney’s videography are like the caramel drizzle on a frappuccino. Sure, a frap is plenty good without the caramel sauce, but anyone who says that drizzle does not take the blended coffee drink to the next level is kidding themselves.

My favorite Britney Spears music video accessories of all time? I am so glad you've asked. I've picked some of the most significant B. Spears music video props to ever grace the small screen. Every last one of these props is legendary/is meaningful/is perfect/is special/is life-changing, and don't you dare try to tell me otherwise.

1. The Oops!...I Did It Again Rock From The "Oops!...I Did It Again" Music Video

Forget the Heart of the Ocean. This B. Spears space rock is the real jewel of the video.

2. The Bed Frame From The "Me Against The Music" Music Video

"Hey, Madonna? What are we going to do with this old bed frame? I guess I can call the city and schedule a pickup."

"Why go through all of that trouble when we can just dance on it instead?"

"Great point Let's dance battle."
