Britney Spears Says She's "Prophecy, Not History" While Calling Out Copycats

Britney Spears spent her Saturday making one thing very clear. In a new Instagram post, the pop icon called out“a lot of girls”she says copied the complete image she had when she was younger, writing simply,“at least mine was real.”She paired the message with a video of herself dancing in a tied white button-down, short gray skirt and red boots, a clear nod to the schoolgirl style she made famous in her 1998“…Baby One More Time”video.

Spears didn’t name anyone in the post, so the internet has been speculating nonstop about who she might mean. But the closing line is the one everyone is quoting:“To all the girls who say I’m History… I’M PROPHECY.”The post also dropped right around the release of“She’ll Never Be Me,”and ahead of the November 6 25th anniversary edition of her album Britney, meaning fans have both nostalgia and new music to talk about at the same time.

Whether this is a genuine statement about originality in pop or a very clever way to build momentum for the anniversary release, the conversation is already everywhere. So tell us what you think: which current artist do you think Britney is referring to without naming names?
