After much speculation, we can finally confirm the rumor everyone wants to hear: Britney Spears will appear on Glee. It’s well-known that the series is planning a Spears tribute early in its second season, and now we know that the pop diva herself will be part of the event.

Glee co-creator and writer Ryan Murphy confirmed the rumor in a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, saying she will “100 percent…be on the episode. She is going to join us for a couple of scenes.”

Just don’t expect the funny series to poke fun at Spears. Murphy said “We are handling Britney with kid gloves.”

Brit’s music will play during fantasy sequences. “Britney Spears is pop culture, and I think she’s been through a lot.” Murphy said.
