The video begins with a closed caption that reads " Britney Spears – Stronger " , amidst the sound of a storm . It then cuts to a close up of Spears looking at her boyfriend , who is smiling with another woman holding him . She realizes she is better without him and walks away , after saying , " Whatever , " to the audience . There is a shot of the tower hotel they were in , in an apparent semi-futuristic world , having a party in the restaurant in the hotel tower at the top , and then the hotel tower explodes and blows up . At the beginning of the first chorus , Spears starts dancing with an Emeco 1006-style chair in front of a black background . The second half of the video finds Spears driving away from the party in a classic Ford Mustang car during a thunderstorm ; however , before long , her car goes into a spin out , then stops on the very edge of the bridge . After recovering from the shock of it , she 's forced to continue walking on in the rain . Cuts of her dancing with a cane , transformed from the chair , are also included . The video ends with Spears walking across a bridge . Two versions of the video exist , one in which at the end of video , Spears stands in mid-air above the spinning chair , and in the other a close up of her singing . Nuzhat Naoreen of MTV praised the music video , saying , " few performers can work an entire routine on and around a chair as well as Britney did in ' Stronger ' " . The music video received a nomination on the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Pop Video
