Emma Roberts recalls the time she hung up on Britney Spears

Emma Roberts shared the time when she brutally hung up on Britney Spears.

On the recent episode of Live with Mark and Kelly, the Wild Child star shared how her mother arranged a special call from the 42-year-old singer as a gift for her 8th birthday.

“I'm on guard year-round, especially with my family and friends, but I've gotten it wrong before. Very wrong,” she said.

Recalling the embarrassing memory, Emma then shared how her mom Kelly Cunningham and aunt Julia Roberts surprised her.

“It was my birthday and I think I was 8 or 9, and this was back in the day of landlines. My mom and my aunt handed me the landline and said, 'Someone's on the phone for you.' And I was like, 'Who?'” she recalled.

Emma said that Britney told her on the phone, “Happy birthday. It's Britney Spears,” but she thought it was a prank.

“And I looked at them and hung up and was like, ‘Mm-hmm, nice.’ And they were like, 'No, that was her,’ I was — still am — the biggest Britney Spears fan,” Roberts explained. “And I literally started crumbling and I was like, ‘Can we get her back on the phone?’ They got her back on the phone,” she continued.

Emma added, “I was so mortified and nervous and I was 8, so I just was like, ‘Thank you so much.’ I'm shaking thinking about it.”
