In an exclusive interview with ET, Basset dished on how she prepared for the film, while expressing her "respect" for Spears.

"I have a huge amount of respect for Britney and for her career," Bassett said. "I listened to her music so much growing up. I have videos of me as a tween practicing her songs in the mirror with a hairbrush in my hand."

The 23-year-old Aussie admitted that she wasn't a dancer prior to the film, but prepared for the role by immersing herself in "Britneyland."

And while Spears has not given the project her blessing hopes that the "Slumber Party" singer will have a change of heart.

"I really hope she watches the movie, because I think she'd really enjoy it," Bassett said. "It's really a love letter to her and to her story, so I really hope she watches it and I just wish her all the happiness in the world."

Lifetime will debut Britney in February 2017.
