Britney Spears is an American icon thanks to her career as a musical legend. However, she has become just as famous in more recent years for the drama in her life, including an ugly legal drama involving the fate of her finances.
Like many of us, Spears has taken to using Instagram for the occasional ego boost. Her spicy photos and dancing videos have gained her countless positive comments from fans, but others see everything as a cry for help. Just how did Britney Spears get in this situation, and what has she been doing online that has everyone so upset? Keep reading to find out!
Britney Spears’ early rise to fame
When she first became a musical megastar, it seemed like Britney Spears and her amazing talents had come out of nowhere. That wasn’t exactly true, though: she spent years on The Mickey Mouse Club, working alongside fellow future phenom Justin Timberlake. That show went off the air (at least, the version she starred in did) when she was 14, and she signed her first record deal at 15.
Her first album was an instant hit, and her music video for the song “…Baby One More Time” helped transform Spears into an icon. Just like that, the singer had become a household name, and it seemed like she had the entire world at her fingertips. Years later, though, we learned just how little control she had and what lengths she was willing to go to in order to take back control of her life.
