Hailee Steinfeld's "Most Girls"
Her latest single is a fiesty and empowering anthem in the vein of "Run the World (Girls)."

During this year’s Radio Disney Music Awards, Britney Spears became the first-ever recipient of its Icon Award. To celebrate, some Disney Channel favorites paid tribute to the pop superstar with an energetic hits medley.

RDMA co-host and Austin & Ally star Sofia Carson performed “… Baby One More Time.” Country star Kelsea Ballerini, a vocal fan of Britney’s, sang “Oops (I Did It Again).” Hailee Steinfeld performed “Circus,” while none other than Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, sang “Till the World Ends.”

Britney was clearly touched by the tribute. “My fans are the freaking best,” she said during her acceptance speech, where she also thanked her two sons Sean Preston and Jaden — “the reason my heart beats.” Watch Radio Disney celebrate its first ever Icon Award recipient below.
