During the opening performance of the 2003 MTV VMAs, Britney Spears and Madonna kissed onstage. Britney’s manager, Larry Rudolph, shared the backstory:

Madonna had been very, very, very rigid about the rehearsals. She was telling Britney and I every day, ’Be here tomorrow at 10 o’clock.’ She would never address me by name, she would just say, ’You, make sure Britney’s here tomorrow at 10 o’clock.’ And I would say, ’okay.’ You don’t want to upset her.

After the show, Madonna kissed Rudolph in an elevator and said “it was all worth it.”
