Rina Sawayama Dubs Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears Rivalry ‘Silly’

The British singer criticizes the way the industry ran in the past by pitting artists against each other, saying, ‘We should all support each other as there is a space for everybody.’

AceShowbizRina Sawayama says the infamous Christina Aguilera vs. Britney Spears rivalry was “so silly.” Addressing the issue, the “Beg For You” singer pointed out that the music industry has come a long way since artists were pitted against each other and there’s a “space for everybody” due to streaming platforms.

“It’s easy to start to buy into that narrative so much that if you don’t do this, someone else will,” she said. “But I try not to engage in that anymore.” When commenting on the famous Christina Aguilera vs. Britney Spears rivalry that was heightened in the press, she additionally told Rolling Stone U.K., “It’s silly. We should all support each other as there is a space for everybody, especially because of streaming.”

In 2018, Christina admitted she felt “hurt” when she was pitted against Britney. The “Beautiful” hitmaker found it difficult when the pair appeared to be put against one another and admitted it was very hurtful to be portrayed as the “bad girl.” She said, “It’s hard to hear yourself being called names.”

“I remember being hurt by these commercials on MTV, pitting Britney as the good girl and me as the bad girl. It’s like, if I’m going to be demure and innocent, that’s OK,” she added. “But if I’m going to just be myself, I’m trouble.”

However, there is one person Christina has feuded with, Pink, who she fell out with back in the early 2000s, leading to the pair trying to punch each other in a nightclub. She said, “We were super young and super new at the whole thing, and I think I’m an alpha, and she’s an alpha.”

“I’m used to taking my altercations physical and she’s used to having them verbal,” she further elaborated. “We’re just very different, we’re very different. And we were very young and new. You have to learn – women have to learn how to support each other. It’s not taught to each other in the playground.”
