Epic kisses that shaped pop culture From Britney Spears and Madonna to Kim and Kanye in Bound 2
The longest kiss in history? It's the record of a Thai couple that lasted 46 hours, 24 minutes and 9 seconds. The most famous? Perhaps the one between Madonna and Britney during the 2003 MTV VMAs, which went down in history and even became an NFT. From the early 2000s to today, many iconic scenes should not be forgotten, such as the famous "a pink apostrophe between the words I love you" of a couple (who are still together today) during the riots in Vancouver or like the shot by American photographer Chris McGrath showing a man and a woman kissing through the fence of the platform on the border with the Ukrainian territory at the beginning of the conflict in February 2022. In the hope of continuing to see kisses that seal passion and transportation rather than moments of terrifying parting, here is a selection of 10 kisses that have shaped pop culture from the 2000s to the present day.
Spiderman (2002)
During the performance of "Call Me by Your Name" extracted from the album "Montero" Lil Nas X threw himself into a passionate kiss with one of his dancers on stage, collecting mixed criticism. Between the outrage of the cisgender audience and the exultation of the LGBTQ+ universe, comes Madonna’s comment "I did it first" referring to the iconic kiss with Britney mentioned above. The difference is that the 2003 kiss had as target a male audience, while the kiss of the singer was addressed to the attention of an audience that after a pandemic and years of global struggles can let go into the world without being court-martialed.
Chris McGrath Ukraine War (2022)
"That last kiss represents the two before they separated, it was a moving moment and something that really tells me what it was about" McGrath at NBC News talking about his expedition to the Ukrainian border territory stormed by Russian troops since February 2022, marking the beginning of a strenuous conflict for the populations involved and the whole of humanity.
