Brittany Spears can’t wait to get her some Adam Rippon tonight.
The pop icon tweeted her fandom today in anticipation of Rippon’s free skate at the Winter Olympics tonight:
Hey @Adaripp.... I just wanted let you know that I am a fan, I am not in denial, and that you are THE MOST FUN!! Keep making us all smile at the #WinterOlympics and good luck today ✨⛸

Rippon has become a cultural phenomenon over the last month, starting with his comments about Vice-President Mike Pence, his over-the-top personality that has shined through the media, and his incredible performance in the team event last weekend.
He’s received vocal support from people across entertainment, including Sesame Street’s Elmo and these two actresses:
Oh @Adaripp ,you make me so proud ! Keep making us all so happy! https://t.co/XXzaXDpUAG

There’s a bit of Britney in Rippon: a fearless performer who just can’t help but express herself honestly. It’s no surprise that his incredible self-expression has reached the heart of Queen B.
After hearing Rippon sing last year, is a Britney-Adam duet just waiting to happen? We know where we could see it. Spears will be awarded the Vanguard Award at GLAAD’s Los Angeles gala in April. We’re there!
