Besides the influence that stems from her cemented rank among the big-impact stars of Tinseltown, Anne Hathaway has a hold on her followers owing to her classic heart. Lately, she has been in the spotlight for her romantic-comedic comeback, but now the conversation has shifted from cinema to the musical realm. With her recent disclosure of favorite pop genre selections, Hathaway has added another accolade to her repertoire, showcasing a taste in music that harks back to the golden era of melodies.

During a recent conversation with Billboard at The Idea of You’s New York premiere on Monday, Anne Hathaway revealed her top picks from the pop circle with a clear verdict of favoritism for two pop icons, Madonna and Britney Spears. While she fumbled a little with her preferences for boy bands, naming the pop queens was no hard task as she listed out her “ultimate pop songs” consecutively. She first named Madonna’s ‘Like a Prayer’ and enlisted a second and third close with Spears’ ‘Baby One More Time’ and ‘Toxic’.

Even though it was largely speculated that Taylor Swift would find a place among her favorites since The Idea of You’s casting cues for Hathaway took inspiration from the pop star, her preferences redirected the musical glance back into the good old days. However, she did acknowledge the presence of several prominent pop icons in the contemporary musical scene.
