ive listened to britney's music all my life but didn't realize her story until like 5 years ago, everyone else just said she was crazy/on drugs and thats why she did some of the stuff she did, like shave her head etc, britneys meltdown was just a clear example of what fame can do to you, the pressure, constantly in the public eye, it completely fucked her up, she went from this innocent, beautiful young pop princess, to a broken shell of a celebrity, her manager completely fucked her over, she fought for custody of her kids, she was on crystal meth, the pressure from the media and paparazzi, the world was watching her, she was being controlled, so she rebelled, she felt like it was the right thing to do, maybe not in some cases but it was her life, noone else's if you dont like her, you dont have to listen/read about her, half the stories in the press are a load of shit anyway, this woman has been to hell and back and made 3 of the best albums known to pop music 'blackout, circus, femme fatale' you dont have to like her, but you do have to respect her for what shes done and been through, i love you Miss Britney Spears ♡♡♡
