Britney Spears has named Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as her latest celebrity crushes. The pop star shared a scene from Practical Magic on Instagram, where the two actresses have a brief, tense chat, and used the post to explain her love for them.
Spears was clearly in full fan mode. She joked that sitting near either star would make her flee from sheer nerves, even though their work means a great deal to her.
And the film has a deep personal link for the singer. After going through painful breakups, she has often turned to it for comfort. Both actresses, she said, have helped lift her spirits and given her hope during rough patches.
For anyone new to Practical Magic, Griffin Dunne directed the movie from a book by Alice Hoffman. Bullock and Kidman play Sally and Gillian Owens, two sisters from a family with a long history of witchcraft.
Their lives come with a grim catch. A family curse puts the men they love at risk of early death. As the sisters grow older, romance, magic, and a strange threat bring fresh trouble into their lives.
Aidan Quinn and Goran Visnjic also feature in the cast. Critics had mixed views when the film first came out, and ticket sales were weak. Yet its focus on sisterhood, loyalty, and witches later helped it gain a loyal fan base.
The story has since gained another chapter, with Practical Magic 2 reaching audiences. For Spears, though, the first film still holds a special place as a source of joy when life gets hard.
