Britney Spears Biography

Britney Spears’ stardom started in the 1990s. She appeared on the Disney series The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, then went on to release her first album in 1998. 

Britney’s fame skyrocketed in the 2000s thanks to pop mega-hits like: “Oops, I Did It Again,” “Toxic,” “I’m a Slave 4 U,” “Over-Protective,” “If You Seek Amy” … honestly the list goes on and on, and if you claim that one of these songs doesn’t spark excitement in you, I don’t believe you.  

As we all probably know, the 2000s brought about highs and lows for Britney Spears. She sold millions of albums but also struggled in her personal life. In 2006, she had just given birth to her second son when she filed for divorce from her then-husband, Kevin Federline. 

2007 brought about that fateful day that we all remember in the tabloids: The head-shaving incident. In 2008, Spears had another breakdown that landed her in the hospital and caused Federline to win full custody of their sons.

Later that year, Britney released Circus and was back on the charts. Since then, her career has been steady again, including a mega-successful Vegas residency and a tour in 2018. Her personal life seems to be on a good path again as well.
