Office Romance star<\/a>, now 56, divulged that she was set to perform alongside the iconic singers in a sultry medley performance of Like a Virgin \u2013 a role that ultimately went to Christina Aguilera.<\/p>\n\u201cWe rehearsed and everything,\u201d Lopez told Cohen, noting that she \u201cwent to Madonna\u2019s house\u201d to prepare for the performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was me, her and Britney,\u201d Lopez recalled. \u201cShe was playing her guitar, and we were singing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though it was the kiss between Madonna, now 67, Spears, now 44, and Aguilera, now 45, that made the performance unforgettable, Lopez said she didn\u2019t rehearse an onstage smooch.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut [Madonna] said that that\u2019s what she wanted to do,\u201d Lopez divulged. \u201cIt was a thing, like, \u2018We\u2019re going to get married, I\u2019m going to be the groom, you guys are going to sing.\u2019 I was the one who was going to come out first and sing Like a Virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jenny From the Block hit maker confessed that she couldn\u2019t \u201creally remember what it was, but it was something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though staff on the set of Shall We Dance allowed her \u201con the weekend to go meet with\u201d Madonna, Lopez said, they ultimately wouldn\u2019t let her \u201cout of the movie to do the actual show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reps for Madonna and Spears did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The finished product saw Spears, Madonna and Aguilera take the stage in wedding-themed attire for performances of Like a Virgin and Hollywood, culminating in a three-way kiss that left audiences breathless.<\/p>\n
Finally, Missy Elliott joined the trio with her hit Work It.<\/p>\n
In January 2022, Madonna said during an Instagram Live that she wanted to re-enact the kiss with Spears while on tour, saying, \u201cHell yeah! Stadium, baby! Me and Britney, what about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Several months later, in June 2022, Spears locked lips with Madonna while celebrating her marriage to Sam Asghari.<\/p>\n
