The multi-hyphenate superstar pulled out an outfit from the early aughts to celebrate the release of Britney Spears and Elton John‘s highly anticipated duet track, “Hold Me Closer.” The collaboration combines the chorus of John’s iconic smash hit “Tiny Dancer” and verses of his single “The One.” This is the first song for Spears’ since leaving her widely publicized conservatorship in 2021.
