It’s Meet and Greet story time Bitch!

Flawless Britney Army member, Mike Covelli, meet the legendary Britney Spears and wanted his story to be featured on our website. Check out his story below:

I went to Vegas alone for the weekend (Wednesday-Sunday am) with my show on Friday! I knew she had shows both Friday & Saturday, so I wanted to get the night she was just gonna start the weekend. I had heard good & bad experiences about interacting with her, so I had this rehearsed dialogue in my head that of course went out the window when I walked up to her… and it was for the better when you keep reading 🙂 ) After all the backstage stuff which was awesome, her dressing room, the wings, the MATM wall for good luck, and about a half hour wait inbetween of the tour / talking to other fans in my group to meeting her, the nerves built up, but I kept it easy and calm, just to see what would happen! I had seen every show of hers since the Oops!… tour, and was in Vegas once in 2014, this was my last ‘hoorah’ to see her live!

I was 8th in line of about 20-30 people, and sooner did I blink after they talked to us about what to do/what not to — I was up the ramp and around the corner to say hi to her.

She was so lovely. She had her hair half up and down, soft-almost-gold eye make up and a black & white mini dress that went up to her neck with some black stilettos on.

Turned the corner over the step & repeat and just said “Hi Britney!” very high energy with my New York accent and she reached out her hand and said “Hi sweetie what’s your name?” “Michael – it’s so nice to meet you, can I hug you real quick?” – and she said of course and really let me in which I thought was great. When we let go, she saw my necklace on my black tee shirt and just stops me (a David Yurman black diamond cross that was a gift from my folks) and she grabs it and goes “Wait this is the weirdest thing, I have the EXACT SAME necklace at home. I JUST got it out of my closet!” And I said “David Yurman?! Stop! Ugh, I love you Britney that’s awesome! – ok let’s do this!” And she laughed and grabbed me real close over my shoulder. I told her to have a great show and thanks for having me, and she said “you’re so welcome sweetie have a great night!”

I wasn’t expecting such a personal dialogue with her, and my whole “thank you for your music and being an inspiration to me”.. line went right out the window.

 and that was it. Short and sweet but she was so personable and lively. AND ON FIRE on stage all night.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Mike. if anyone would like there M&G stories featured on our website please email us at [email protected] The M&G stories don’t have to be during the Vegas era, they can be any time you meet Britney! ! 

Britney Spears already has one from the MTV VMAS but now she is getting a second Vanguard award from a different organization. Britney will attend the 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards in April and is set to receive the GLAAD Vanguard Award, which is presented to media professionals who have made a significant difference in promoting equality and acceptance of LGBTQ people!

According to GLAAD, Spears has consistently stood up for LGBTQ youth on GLAAD’s Spirit Day by going purple on social media to speak out against bullying. In 2015, she released a Spirit Day video and promoted participation in the anti-bullying campaign by organizing a meet-and-greet for LGBTQ fans, washing her stage at Planet Hollywood purple, and providing anti-bullying materials to concertgoers. In 2016, she was among over 20 music artists to appear on GLAAD’s song “Hands,” released with Interscope Records to remember the 49 lives taken in the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting. In 2017, Spears was among 140 leading entertainers to speak out in an open letter against two anti-LGBTQ bills, which targeted transgender youth in Texas and were later defeated. Most recently, she sparked global attention when she wore a t-shirt with the phrase “We Are All Dreamers” imprinted on it and she called on Congress to pass the Dream Act via Instagram.

Most recently, for LGBTQ Pride Month in 2017, Spears penned a heartwarming love letter to the LGBTQ community on Billboard Pride in which she shared that the community’s unwavering loyalty and acceptance uplift and inspire her. “I have a secret to share with you. You see it’s actually you that lifts me up. The unwavering loyalty. The lack of judgment. The unapologetic truth. Acceptance! Your stories are what inspire me, bring me joy, and make me and my sons strive to be better people.”

We’re thrilled to announce that LGBTQ ally, and global icon @BritneySpears will receive the Vanguard Award at the #GLAADAwards on April 12th. Britney embodies the spirit of the award by accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ community. https://t.co/uoaQs2BQOn pic.twitter.com/wQmAz82Qyi

Britney will receive her honor at the 29th annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles at Beverly Hilton on April 12! We are so HAPPY FOR HER!!!!

Queen Tinashe opened up about working with the Legendary Britney Spears. Check out what Tinashe had to say about working with our Queen Britney:

“It was just such an amazing experience,” Tinashe said of working with Britney. “It was mostly just humbling, which was what I really took away from that experience. It was like, ‘Whoa, anything can really happen.’ You can have these unrealistic seeming dreams that can really happen for you, which is incredible. I would’ve never thought that that could’ve happened.”

We hope Tinashe and Britney will work together in the future again. The world is still talking about how iconic their “Slumber Party” was 😉
