Britney Spears has definitely had a big impact on the world of music, but now she’s putting her own stamp on politics too, although she isn’t exactly running for office.
As Haaretz reports, Brit has a show coming up in Israel on July 3, but that also happens to be the same day as the Labour Party’s leadership vote. So what, you might ask?
Well, apparently it’s a big enough deal that the party is postponing its all-important leadership vote until the following day, as they’re worried that Britney will be a big enough draw to throw the planned date into disarray.
With both the vote and gig happening in the same area of North Tel Aviv, they’re mostly concerned that the concert will be soaking up many of the available security guards and stewards, leaving the vote a bit understaffed and far too insecure.
While that makes sense, Haaretz’ source for the news also confirmed that the simple fact of clashing with a star of Britney’s enduring popularity didn’t exactly excite anyone either, with the traffic alone bound to be a nightmare.
So, while she may not have knocked Israel’s whole future off course, it’s reassuring to see that the name Britney Spears still holds plenty of sway all across the world.
