A Star Is Born Has a Surprising Connection to Britney Spears' Crossroads
I've seen A Star Is Born in theaters seven times and, at this point, can quote the movie by heart. I'm also a colossal Britney Spears fan. So you can imagine my elation at a connection between ASIB and Spears' movie Crossroads that the Internet unearthed this week. No, you didn't miss Gaga singing "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" when you went to the bathroom during ASIB or anything like that. The Easter egg these two masterpieces share is so deeply hidden that I don't blame you for missing it.
Drum roll, please, Little Monsters and members of the Britney Army: Crossroads and A Star Is Born have scenes at the same grocery store. What's that? A frozen-food-aisle connection is born? Who would've thought?!
It turns out the Super-A Foods grocery store on Division Street in Los Angeles had the pleasure of having two pop queens filming in its parking lot. The food emporium serves as the backdrop for one of the most crucial scenes in A Star Is Born. Ally (Lady Gaga) and Jackson (Bradley Cooper) find themselves there late on the night they meet, and she sings "Shallow" for him the first time. It's a hard scene to forget:
The Crossroads scene, however, is briefer and less important. Midway through the movie, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoë Saldana), Mimi (Taryn Manning), and Ben (Anson Mount) pull into the same Super-A Foods for a snack run while on their road trip to Los Angeles. At this point in the film, the girls think Ben actually murdered someone—so Kit isn't exactly thrilled when Lucy and Mimi leave her in the car with him, alone, to get food. She runs after them within seconds, screaming, "Y'all! Wait for me!" It's iconic. Click here to see a photo of the store.
This is quite literally a Britney Spears–Lady Gaga crossroads. I guess this means they have to record a duet, right? They can film their music video at this grocery store.
