However, she further added that nowadays (2018) she doesn't see the kiss as a huge deal. Christina Aguilera said, "Shock value gets more and more extreme or whatever," Christina added, "But honestly, at the time, yeah, I never thought anything of it. It was like, ‘Okay, it's two girls kissing.' It wasn't shocking back then. It's not shocking now, to me. But it's so many things ". During Christina Aguilera's performance with Britney and Madonna, the latter also kissed Spears and that stole the show.
