For most people taking part in James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke would be actual life goals.  But for Britney Spears it seems the experience wasn’t quite the dream we’d expect it to be.

While recounting her time in the car with James for an American radio station on Friday, the Toxic singer said that cruising around Los Angeles with the British entertainer – whose name she appeared to have forgotten – was “so awkward”.

The 34-year-old told KTU 103.5FM: “It was a little awkward, like, driving by grocery stores…People walk by and there are like 18 cameras around us.  This is just so awkward.”

 

 

So many more things on the way… #Glory is coming soon. Pre-order now!

According to Entertainment Tonight, Britney also described how The Late Late Show host “controlled the whole thing” before jokingly discussing how sick she was of hearing Baby One More Time and Oops!…I Did It Again on repeat.

But overall the mother of two did enjoy her time with James.  She said:  “It was really fun…The guy was just so incredibly sweet.”

“I had no idea he has kids, he's a teddy bear.  I was like, ‘I just want to hug you right now’.”

Britney received a fair bit of criticism online after the segment aired on Thursday as Twitter users suggested she had mimed the lyrics to her own songs.

One person tweeted the star saying: “Britney you knew this was a carpool karaoke right?  And not carpool snapchat lipsync?”

While another said: “Goes to Carpool Karaoke.  Concept is to sing along your own songs.  LIPSYNCS ANYWAY.  The one & only Britney Spears.”

Whether it felt awkward at the time or not, it sure looked like the celebrity pair were having fun reliving Britney’s glory days dressed in those famous grey and white school uniforms.
