    When it came to making her Britney Spears-sampling song “ Lucky ,” Halsey says she made sure the pop star was informed about everything she did with it — “every step of the way.”

    In a new interview with BBC Radio 1 Thursday, Halsey shared that she kept Spears — whose 2000 song of the same name she samples — updated about “Lucky,” including its early aughts popstar-themed video.

    “I shared everything with her every step of the way,” she said. “Down to the first demo of the song. I sent her a shot-for-shot treatment of the music video just because I wanted to make sure I was totally nailing it.”

    Halsey also shared that the two stars even “traded” merch. “She sent me ‘Lucky’ merch for the ‘Lucky’ anniversary, and I sent her some merch and stuff like that,” she said. “It’s definitely like a pinch me thing. I didn’t even know she knew who I was, kinda.”

    “Every day I’m kind of just looking around being like, there’s a 6-year-old girl in my heart that’s freaking out,” she added.

    The new interview with Halsey comes several days after Spears walked back a post on X where she said she felt “bullied” by the visual. She later claimed someone else had posted the remark. “I love Halsey and that’s why I deleted it,” Spears wrote in an also now-deleted post.

    At the time, Halsey shared Spears’ comment , saying she loved the pop star as well. “I always have and always will,” she wrote. “You were the first person who ever made me realize what it means to feel inspired. You continue to inspire me everyday.”

    In other Spears news Thursday, the singer also confirmed that a biopic based on her life and memoir The Woman in Me was in the works via Universal Pictures, with the creators behind Wicked developing it.
