Old Photos of Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake Are Pop Music Artifacts — PHOTOS
Even though Justin Timberlake is happily settled down with Jessica Biel, and even though Britney Spears has had a slew of crappy exes (she's doing fine now! She's — ahem — stronger than yesterday) it's okay to sometimes get nostalgic for the adorable days of yore: the days that they were together. Admit it, they were one of the cutest celebrity couples ever, in part because they were super young. Don't you sometimes look back at your high school relationships and go, "awww, so cute, but THANK GOD that is no more!"
In celebration of the '00s — with zero hate toward Brit and JT — let's look back at some of their old photos, just for the sake of #memories. And let's face it: You're a secret 2000s-era pop culture historian at heart, and these pics are ARTIFACTS.
Leaning On Each Other
Aww. And Britney’s hat is so telling that this was so long ago.
Laughing Together
Same hat, different pose. Let’s talk about JT’s hair now, shall we?
Did you Know...
This outfit came with boots?
All Dressed Up
Diggin’ the off-the-shoulders look, Brit.
Dining
Unfortunately, this is a time capsule.
Forced Smiles
Aww, chin up, Justin.
So Good Lookin'
Miss you guys!
Hitting The Red Carpet
Two dynamo pop music forces, one photo.
So Much Hair Dye
So much upkeep.
Watching The Game
Apparently, a love of watching sports can’t keep people together, either.
Ok, Things Long Awkward Here
Look, it’s important to remember everything when you’re looking back at the pop music equivalent of a high school yearbook.
More Fun Times At The Game...
…With Chris Kirkpatrick. What, did you forget about him and his pineapple hair?
In Fall Attire!
Oh, they looked so happy as they took photos for an event for Brit’s album, Britney.
Those outfits
Wow.
Look How Young They Look!
It’s OK to feel old. Moisturizing helps the aging process, looking back at photos from pop music’s history does not.
Really, Look Again. They're Young.
And JT doesn’t look too happy about his haircut.
