Halsey paid homage to the singer in the song and video .

Britney Spearssays she didn’t post that.

Yesterday, a post went up on her X account slamming Halsey’s video for Halsey’s new song “Lucky.” The video, released the same day, was inspired by Britney’s 2000 song “Lucky” and showsHalseydressed as a singer who resembles her.

“For obvious reasons I’m very upset about the Halsey video,” read the post on Britney’s account. “I feel harassed, violated, and bullied. I didn’t know an artist like her and someone I looked up to and admired would illustrate me in such an ignorant way by tailoring me as a superficial pop star with no heart or concern at all.”

“I have my own health problems which is why I took down my IG account yesterday. I will definitely be putting it back up to show I CARE,” the post continued. “I’m speaking with my lawyers today to see what can be done on this matter. It feels illegal and down right cruel.”

However, the post was quickly deleted before Britney shared a new tweet, saying it was “fake news !!!”

“That was not me on my phone !!!” she insisted. “I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it !!!”

bogus news ! ! ! That was not me on my phone ! ! ! I love Halsey and that ’s why I deleted it 🌹 ! ! !

“and I love Britney!!!!” Halsey tweeted in response. “I always have and always will 💕 you were the first person who ever made me realize what it means to feel inspired. And you continue to inspire me everyday.”

and I love Britney ! ! ! ! I always have and always will 💕 you were the first someone who ever made me realize what it mean to feel inspired . And you continue to inspire me everyday.https://t.co/MRCc4WofdJ

Halsey had also said that she’d gotten Britney’s blessing to do the song before its release. “I wouldn’t even dream of doing it without her blessing!” she said in response to a fan who asked if she’d involved Britney in the song.
