Christina Aguilera Instagram – It’s summer 1999 and on every Top 40 station, a 3-minute 36-second confection blares, “You gotta rub me the right way.” The song, of course, is “Genie in a Bottle.” The singer? An 18-year-old rising star named Christina Aguilera (@xtina), who would go on to become one of the most important pop stars of the 21st century. That formative song—and the subsequent self-titled album it appeared on—turns 25 this month (!!) and for our August cover, the singer is reflecting on a time when things were different. At the link in bio, Aguilera opens up about her extraordinary career, the ruthless 2000s tabloids, motherhood, and her highly-anticipated new album.
