Let’s face it — no one makes an instantly iconic, dance-filled video quite like Britney Spears. But when she teams with Iggy Azalea for new collaboration Pretty Girls, don’t expect the Aussie rapper to attempt any of Brit’s famous moves. Chatting with us about the single’s highly anticipated video, Iggy shared that she left the dancing to the Queen of Pop. "I didn’t dance! She wanted me to. Since I was co-directing the video, the way I explained it was, it would be kind of obnoxious for me to direct a video and give myself a dance break as well. Like, “Here’s the video! And I gave myself a dance scene!” I don’t know if it necessarily fits my identity, but I think Britney’s identity is really embedded in being a dancer, and that’s something she really wanted to do as well. So there’s a lot of dancing in the video, but I wouldn’t say its necessarily centered around that." Iggy and Britney were spotted shooting the Pretty Girls video in Los Angeles earlier this month, rocking big hair, leopard prints, ripped jeans and chunky jewelry. So is it ’80s-inspired? "It’s a little bit more complicated than that. You know me, I like having a narrative. So if it was just like, “‘80s!” that would be kind of boring for me. But what Britney made clear to me is that she really wanted to do a video where she got to dress up and play a character. That was really important to her and she liked a lot of the things I’ve done that were inspired by movies and stuff." While it may not be a direct send-up of a movie (like Fancy‘s Clueless-inspired video, or Black Widow‘s Kill Bill homage), Iggy looked to actress Geena Davis when modeling her style. "I think she’s just like the ultimate ’80s pin-up hot, cool type of girl, so I told Britney to check her out, and she was like, “Yes, I love Geena Davis!” So we based our characters on a lot of stuff like that, like Geena Davis and characters she played in a lot of her movies at that time period. But there’s definitely a narrative. I don’t want to give it away, but it’s quirky and funny." http://www.fuse.tv/image/550addd2ee0...2015-split.jpg

Iggy never fails to deliver good videos, as much as I dislike her, she never fails on that department. I saw her Trouble video a couple of days ago and it made me listen to the song two or three times later. I still don't like the idea of her being on a song with Britney but if the latter is happy with and she did what she wanted this time around, I'll be glad to support her.

Excited for the song and video.

But what Britney made clear to me is that she really wanted to do a video where she got to dress up and play a character.
