Britney Spears was just 17-years-old when she recorded her first music video. When she met with her production team, they told her their vision for “…Baby One More Time.” However, Spears was not a fan. “They had this really bizarre video idea, this animated Power Ranger-y thing,” she told Rolling Stone. “I said, ‘This is not right. If you want me to reach four-year-olds, then OK, but if you want me to reach my age group …'” she added.
Spears had a completely different idea that she proposed to team. “So I had this idea where we’re in school and bored out of our minds, and we have Catholic uniforms on. And I said, ‘Why don’t we have knee-highs and tie the shirts up to give it a little attitude?’ — so it wouldn’t be boring and cheesy,” Spears told Rolling Stone. Director Nigel Dick totally went for it and one of the most iconic music videos of the late 90s was born. According to Huff Post UK, the video was filmed at Venice High School in Los Angeles. The outlet also reported that all of Spears’ outfits worn in the video were from KMart and her original, video-worn, schoolgirl uniform is on display at the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas.
