Top 5: Britney Spears music videos to jam to before a presentation

Madison Jackson

Remember in the early aughts when a new song would come out and you couldn’t wait to see the music video? Preferably debuted live after you got home from middle school on TRL? Of course you remember! How could you forget? That’s the zone I like to be in whenever possible, but especially before a big presentation. It should come as absolutely no surprise that my go-to music videos are from the master of the music video herself, the Princess of Pop ™, the badass beauty with a boa constrictor, the inimitable and iconic Britney Jean Spears. So without further ado, here’s a list of the top 5 Britney Spears music videos I watch to pump me up for big presentations. Body roll not optional.

5. “I’m a Slave 4 U” is a classic B. Spears music video. The choreography, the underwear over jeans, the sauna party. It makes me remember all the metaphorical and sometimes literal sweat that goes into the work and makes me feel like I can get it, get it, get it, get it.

4. “Oops! …I Did it Again” I made you believe you love these ideas. Oh baby, baby. Also, maybe I should wear a pleather jumpsuit to work? Wait, no.

3. “Work B**ch” is an anthem. It’s iconic. Please buy my commercial.

2. “Toxic” reminds me that if Britney Spears can do a back handspring through laser beams, I can sell a friggin’ ad campaign.

1. “Stronger” is my #1 pump-me-up favorite and personally, I think it’s highly underrated. Britney is a one woman machine, but in this video she shares the screen with a sleek metal chair with a mind of its own that’s essential to her choreography. It reminds me of the importance of teamwork and collaboration to get to the finished product and when in doubt, just crimp your hair and walk dramatically towards camera/into the meeting.

That’s all! Hail Britney
