My favorite coworker literally tagged me in the news earlier today as soon as it broke. She gets me, lmao. 😂
God, it's so wonderful to see her family finally lose their power grip over her. So beyond happy for Britney. What a whirlwind the last few years have been since this really picked up traction, and for it to have a happy ending at last. Seeing her read her family for filth along the way was delicious, albeit sad that she even needed to do that (but good for her using her voice). Hope she enjoys her newfound freedom and takes time for herself, but I do hope within the next few years she does get to go back to entertaining in some capacity, which I believe she eventually will since it'll be on her terms and I imagine she'll find the joy in it again.

Another New Yorker article from Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino:
It's worth the read, imo. The first one went into detail about what happened leading up to Britney's testimony on June 23rd. This article goes into detail regarding her reporting to the Ventura County police the day before her testimony and the behind- the-scenes fallout post-Britney's testimony. Basically, people either jumped ship (i.e. Larry Rudolph, Sam Ingham) or decided to rally behind Britney. Two of the people that did so, though unnamed, are heavily implied to be Cade Hudson and Cassie Petry. It's been said several times, but Britney's testimony was such a huge turning point.

Her catalog hits differently now, y'all. Currently listening to Blackout and appreciating how it maintains its energy all the way through. I'd never noticed before how rich the vocal layering on "Ooh Ooh Baby" is. The producers are a huge part of that, but Britney really is a wiz on the mic.

Why does "Criminal" have so many more streams on Spotify than the other Femme Fatale singles? Wikipedia mentions a TikTok "Mugshot Challenge." Was that truly so big as to allow "Criminal" to surpass even "Till The World Ends?"

Was that truly so big as to allow "Criminal" to surpass even "Till The World Ends?" I searched the song on TikTok to see what videos came up and it seems to be a common sound used for lots of videos related to prisoners/criminals (news stories about criminals, prisoner costumes, prisoner pen-pals, finding a prisoner/criminal character to be hot, etc) and quite a lot have hundreds of thousands or millions of likes. They are also spread out over the last couple years and not just concentrated at one point as a “trendy sound of the week” type thing (I guess aside from that mugshot challenge). So it has consistency there, too.

She's still got that inner spark, humor, and desire to help others, even after all she has been through.
She is an exemplary human being.

She looks relax and happy. The biggest change i think is her hair. It looks sooo good and healthy.

So it has consistency there, too. It was definitely helped a lot by the Criminal tiktok challenge last year, which, to put it lightly, was cringeworthy AF, but was really big for a little while. I don't even want to pull up example videos because they're just awful and one of the worst "TikTok bits" I've seen lmao

That video yesterday was stunning in a good way (let's make that Oprah interview happen!) but among others, one of the biggest thing that struck me was how eloquent and open Britney was about talking, which is a complete 180 from her demeanor in public interviews during most of the c-ship. Looking back now, you can tell why she was so guarded and quiet and a lot of 1-word answers in all of those past interviews - she clearly either wasn't allowed to say anything she wanted, or she was probably bullied and threatened to keeping her mouth shut, so she probably didn't even feel like saying anything at all. Thus, all of those interviews where she put 0 effort into any of her answers. Which is 100% understandable looking back now.

Agreed, I remember her X Factor USA mentor stint and she was so robotic there.
It warms my heart to see her this way now, so free and happy

"We're not free, we're expensive" she's so real.
Honestly Oprah's people are probably drafting the paperwork right now, along with a ton of other people. I'll let her live her life the way she wants, but coming off of 13 years of trauma I don't know if she's ready to talk about this just yet. Plus a book deal is more profitable baby get yourself a good ghost writer! Either way, loved that and love her.

I mean, we could use an entire 2-hour special just to unearth what the hell happened with Myah Jean.
It would be an interesting turn of events if it turns out Britney herself sabotaged it to get back at Team Con, but I also feel like she cares too much about her creative output that she wouldn't do that (even though it would be very understandable). But that Anthony Preston post is quite interesting - it's also quite possible that Britney *DID* do everything she needed to for the album, but then Team Con made sure that the ultimate product was messy and terrible.

Madonna is ‘waging war’ for Britney Spears after end of conservatorship It’s them against the music world. Madonna was a vocal supporter of the #FreeBritney movement, but her advocacy stretched far beyond social media. The Queen of Pop, 63, was “in touch with Britney Spears multiple times” in the months leading up to the Princess of Pop, 39, winning her battle to end the conservatorship that controlled her life and money for 13 years, a source exclusively told Page Six. “Madonna has always had a soft spot for Britney and couldn’t sit idly by when she felt that there were clear injustices going on,” the source said. And even though a Los Angeles judge terminated the controversial conservatorship last Friday, Madonna still plans to keep fighting for her longtime friend. “Madonna is waging war,” the source told us. “She is hellbent on righting the wrongs that Britney had to endure. She has offered to help in any way that she can and is not afraid to speak up or intervene if needed.” Reps for Spears and Madonna did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.link

Nah, Page Six and NY Post actually hate Madonna and rarely post anything positive about her. I do think she genuinely loves Britney and would help in any way that she could. Plus she talked about Britney long before most celebrities jumped wagon. So i suggest M haters take a seat before accusing her of wanting attention.

Where was Madonna ten fucking years ago now when Britney did it herself now you wanna speak up and fight? Bye
