Britney Spears first met Justin Bieber when he was just 16, in her hotel room. Adding to the details, the Criminal singer said on BBC Radio 1, as reported by Vogue in 2016:

"It’s weird. Like, probably three years ago on Femme Fatale. He walks into my hotel room, and he was like a kid! Literally, he looked like he was 13 years old, but he was 16."

She continued:

"And I was like, ‘Who is this kid in my hotel? Like, what is going on?’ And his mom is like, ‘Is there a sun tanning bed located in here?!’ And I’m like, ‘Who are these people?’ And my assistant was like, ‘This is Justin Bieber and his mother.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god! I cannot believe this.'"

Since then, Spears has mentioned Bieber several times on her social media, most recently on September 9. She shared a black-and-white photo of Bieber with his son Jack, used to promote his latest album, SWAG II.

Captioning the post, she wrote:

"Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas !!! I’m in love with this picture !!! So so beautiful !!!"

As of now, Justin Bieber has not publicly responded to Spears’ post.
