There have been a lot of times when we wanted to go back to our high school and re-live and re-claim what was supposed to be ours. While we all just think about it, Netflix has decided to actually make it happen with its movie Senior Year. In the latest comedy-drama, we will see a cheerleader, played by Rebel Wilson, who wakes up from a coma after 20 years and now wants to become the prom queen. In that process, she meets a lot of cheerleaders of the current time who are not that into dancing, and the first thing she did is make them dance to a Britney Spears number, but which one is it?

Well, there are a plethora of songs by Britney Spears that are just perfect to dance to. However, Rebel Wilson, who is the producer and main lead of the movie, went with Crazy by Britney Spears. And there is a reason Crazy has to be the song that a cheerleader dances to before anything. And luckily, Rebel Wilson revealed it herself in an exclusive clip from the movie. So, with no further adieu, let us dive right into it, and get in that Michael Scott spirit because “it’s Britney B*tch“.

In the video, we can see Rebel Wilson‘s character, Stephanie Conway, trying to inspire a group of kids who are cheerleaders to dance. While she believes cheerleaders are one of the most famous and important groups of people in school, that is not the case with the current generation. As they are not even invited to a party. Thus, Stephanie takes it into her own hands to get these kids dancing. And she decides it has to be a Britney Spears song.

Rebel in the clip reveals that there is a slutty number coming up later in the movie. Thus, to start with Crazy by Britney Spears was the perfect way to go about it. And then we see Stephanie dancing with the kids on the song in the basement before the clip cuts to a stage performance of the song. It also makes sense to have the teens dance to Britney’s Crazy. Because she is undoubtedly one of the most popular pop singers of the generation. And she also pretty much defined the trends for a long time. So, in order to get the kids into dancing and that too in the best way possible, Britney Spears is the best way to do it.

Rebel Wilson has even talked about how she is herself a huge Britney Spears fan.
