Do Britney Spears’ and Christina Aguilera’s matching rainbow dip-dye hairstyles signal the return of their pop star rivalry?
Watch Christina Aguilera’s new music video! »
We should have known there was more to those rainbow highlights than a desire to be on trend! Britney Spears, who’s no stranger to communicating through the state of her hair, debuted turquoise and pink dip-dyed tips this weekend for an appearance at the iHeart Radio music festival. Aside from the fact that she hasn’t changed her hair colour in a few years (which, for Britney, is a very good thing) we didn’t think anything of it—until the video for Christina Aguilera‘s new single “Your Body” debuted this afternoon. You guessed it: Christina has the exactly same rainbow dip-dye style.
We may be overeager for some pre-weekend gossip, but it’s simply too coincidental to be a coincidence. So who from Christina Aguilera’s camp tipped off Britney Spears? We had almost forgotten about the supposed rivalry between the two pop stars—it seemed to be left behind in the early aughts. But ever since Britney joined the X Factor and went into direct reality TV competition against Christina and The Voice, the rumours are back. So let’s keep our fingers crossed that passive hair dying is just a few steps away from a dance-off.
