3 Britney Spears 'Crossroads' Secrets That Will Take You Back to 2002

Can you believe it's been 14 years since "Crossroads" was released?

The iconic movie starring Britney Spears, Taryn Manning and Zoe Saldana came out in 2002 and, on a recent trip to the AOL headquarters in New York City, we asked Manning to share a little-known story from on set involving Spears.

"First of all," Manning said with a smile. "Being around Britney Spears in her heyday was, just...there are no words!"

"One day I'll never forget was when I asked her to sing for me," she continued. "We were in the car -- because ['Crossroads' took place on] a road trip -- and I was like, 'Will you sing?' And she was like, 'Yeah!'"

"She sang the National Anthem, and it was supreme," she recounted.

Manning clearly has many fond memories from her time on the "Crossroads" set: At just 21 years old, she was still a young actress with just a few credits to her name, so working on a movie with the legendary Miss Britney Spears must have been quite the experience.

"For anybody that thinks that Britney can't sing, [this was] epic!" she said with the excitement of a die-hard fan. "Every note: on point; Her little, sweet, perfect voice, all of her little riffs and ad-libs were amazing."

The things we would've done to have been there!
