If you’re of a certain age then there’s absolutely no way that you wouldn’t have seen the Britney Spears video for ‘Baby One More Time’ about a million times – even if you weren’t perving on her – because it was literally on TV about twenty times a day. You just couldn’t miss the girl.

So if I were to ask you what colour Britney Spears’ skirt was in that video then I’m pretty sure you would be able to get it exactly right straight away? Well, someone just asked me that and I said I thought it was plaid/tartan or similar and then they sent me a link to the video and well, take a look at this:

It’s actually black!? (and definitely not grey) At first I just thought I must have misremembered it – unusual for me I know – but then I started reading about The Mandela Effect and how people think that the large hadron collider being turned on at CERN on July 5th has caused subtle changes to pop culture in our reality. What?
I know that sounds crazy and that Reddit forums, Twitter threads and TikTok videos are hardly the best places to go for accurate information about anything, but I really did find it fascinating that people are saying this stuff is happening. Especially because I myself remembered it quite clearly being check/plaid/tartan/whatever in the video AND so do these two articles on Vogue and People that were written back in 2019!
Anyway have a look at some of this and see what you think:
I’m glad 70% of y’all remember it being plaid, just as I do. There’s a conspiracy theory that when CERN turned on the LHC, a couple of things changed causing a new wave of Mandela Effects 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

CERN strikes again. Anyone who remembers Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time” video let me ask you a question. What color was her shorts/skirt?
They were plaid right?
Not anymore. They have changed it now to Black. We are now all living in a new dimension. Its happening

Holy shit. What’s more is that The Mandela Effect isn’t limited to just Britney Spears’ skirt either as this thread discusses – although a lot of these potential changes are lost on me because I’m not American:

Ok so I don’t know all of those, but people seem to be vibing off some of them, so have some elements of our reality been retconned because the CERN large hadron collider was switched on last week? I really have no idea and it sounds too ridiculous to be true…..but I’m definitely convinced that Britney’s skirt was plaid and not black and I can’t really see another reason why that seems to be so embedded in the public consciousness?
Do your own research I guess and come to your own conclusions, but I don’t think you can deny that this is all very, very spooky. The truth is out there.
For more of the same, check out when Homer Simpson discovered the God Particle 14 years before CERN scientists. Sort of a reverse Mandela Effect?
