Who Is Britney Spears?

Due to her influence on the younger generation, she was titled as ‘teen idol’ or ‘pop princess.’ She has also faced controversies, including the time she drove a car with her son on her lap and her admission to a drug rehabilitation facility. In 2019, the singer’s conservatorship gained attention, and support was shown from popular celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, etc.
Details About “Britney vs. Spears”
Directed by Erin Lee Carr, this documentary movie will go through the issues regarding the singer’s conservatorship. Since 2008 probate conservatorship of Britney has been ongoing. It started when the singer was just 13 years old, and her father placed conservatorship. This whole thing gained more scrutiny when in 2019, Britney went into hiatus from her career due to mental health complications from the conservatorship.
Fans of the singer have been supporting her and created a movement, ‘Free Britney’ on social media. With all the curiosity around the topic, this new documentary seems to have answers to everyone’s questions. The first half of the movie focuses mainly on the complications in conservatorship and Britney’s mental health.
You can watch how the pop star feels and talks about her life in the recently released trailer. In the one-minute twenty-nine seconds’ trailer, Britney says, “I want my life back.” This movie will bring light on Spear’s life as a whole apart from just the traumatic events. Earlier this year, in February, a documentary on her life, ‘Framing Britney Spears,’ was released by New York Times, which only showed the controversies revolving around the singer’s life.
The singer hopes to end the conservatorship this year ultimately, and her lawyer has confirmed the same. You can know the influence of her father in her life, how much control he had over her life only when the film releases. An insider said in an interview that after watching the film, “She feels, for the first time in many years, that people are on her side and things will get better for her.”
It is also interesting how the documentary film is set to release on September 28 because the next court hearing for Britney’s conservatorship is scheduled for September 29. There may be a reason behind why the singer and the team have decided on the date.
