Britney Spears calls her split from Justin Timberlake 'one of the world's biggest'

WATCH: The evolution of Britney Spears' music

After years of ups and downs, it seems Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are on friendly terms -- at least on Instagram.

The "Toxic" singer posted an Instagram video of herself dancing to her ex's song, "Filthy," from his 2018 album, "Man of the Woods."

In the caption, she included words of high praise for her ex.

"I know we had one of the world's biggest breakups 20 years ago …… but hey the man is a genius!!!!," Spears wrote. "Great song JT !!!! Pssss if you KNOW WHAT'S GOOD !!!!!!"

Spears, 38, and Timberlake, 39, first met in 1993 on the set of "The Mickey Mouse Club" and dated for three years in the late '90s and early aughts while he was still a member of the boy band 'N Sync. Following their breakup in 2002, Timberlake released his smash hit, "Cry Me A River," with many assuming that the song was about Spears, especially when the music video featured a blonde woman.

However, any bad blood that may have been between them appears to be long gone. After Spears posted the video, Timberlake commented with a series of laugh-crying and hands-up emojis.
