Willie Gomez may be Britney Spears’ backup dancer, but he stole the spotlight singing this week on The Voice.

But before he performed on Tuesday night’s episode of the NBC singing competition series, the 37-year-old Miami native received some words of encouragement from the “Gimme More” singer — in the form of a video message.

“Willie is a dancer of mine, and not only is he a great dancer, but he is an amazing singer,” Spears, 41, said in the clip, per Entertainment Tonight.

“I’m sending all my kisses to you,” the pop superstar continued, while blowing a kiss. “Love you!”

For Gomez’s audition, he performed an enchanting rendition of Manuel Turizo hit “La Bachata,” which prompted all four judges — Niall HoranReba McEntireJohn Legend and Gwen Stefani — to turn their chairs around.

“I thought I had you!” Stefani, 54, who turned her chair around first, shouted. 

“You still have me,” Gomez cheekily replied to the “Hollaback Girl” singer, who called his voice “beautiful” and “flawless.”

“You have so much stage presence, you’re gorgeous,” she added.
