I had to stop following her on IG a while back--the combination of the awkward dancing and her looking awful and the bullshit ghostwritten captions was just far too depressing.

I just want somebody in the court system or her father or somebody to explain how her mental state changed so drastically so quickly. Because she was able to go on tours, be a judge, make music and all that perfectly fine and then suddenly they're saying she isn't capable of doing that. But also the videos of her dancing and just sort of not seeming present are alarming because that was not what she was like years ago. It's almost like it happened overnight and it's continuing if that makes sense.

This is the first time I have read one of her captions and outright laughed because that is totally not her writing that.

I been on a Britney catalogue marathon the past week and may I just say, whatever hoe decided this song should be a Japan bonus track release for the Britney & Kevin Chaotic EP deserves to suffer Over To You Now is such a bop and should be on streaming platforms, literally was the best song by far of the 4 songs from that EP Robyn, Imogen Heap, and Guys Sigworth all lending their efforts to this gem

Happy Birthday “Pretty Gorls”, released on this date in 2015. Despite the general hate for the song, and the “fix it for MAAAAYYYYY!” line in the video, she looked like she was actually engaged and excited about the track, the video and the BBMA performance.

Pretty Girls the song mostly sucks but the music video was cute and it was refreshing to see some energy from her at the time The song still is absolute bottom tier for her and I still remember forcing myself to like it for 3 weeks and then giving up

I think it’s weird that people think she’s not writing those captions...

I think it’s weird that people think she’s not writing those captions... But it looks like it was written by some heated Twitter stan that flopped on TikTok. That looks nothing like how a 39 year old white woman types. Britney is the one to post Minion memes with "LOL," not a rant with excessive emoji and punctuation use. The only thing they got right were the ellipses.

All the things she does in video posts I don’t know any other 39 year old doing, so why wouldn’t the captions be any different?

Someone mashed up PG vocals with the instrumental of Little Mix Black Magic and that's the only version I allow in my life...

Pretty Girls was underwhelming. I think it was Fancy part 2 essentially. But Britney sounded really engaged with the song (love the vocals) and video, and its performances so I take it as a good thing that it was released.

I feel like it was her Instagram that actually caused #FreeBritney bc everyone was talking about how bizarre she was acting on it — why on earth would team Britney (who have been quietly profiting from this conservatorship for a decade) want to suddenly make all this noise by making her appear “crazy”? Doesn’t make sense. Plus, this is the Britney we’ve seen for the past decade — she’s strange, spins in circles, marches to her own beat — I think a lot of fans don’t want to accept that this is her now. Personally, I love her even more — broken and beautiful.

Personally, I love her even more — broken and beautiful. She can request videos to be posted without dictating the captions verbatim? What made people question Free Britney was inconsistencies in the captions, and ultimately the fact that she was still uploading content while it was revealed she forced into a facility after refusing to do the Domination residency. This is all documented...

The 100 Greatest Song Bridges of the 21st Century: Staff Picks
42. BRITNEY SPEARS, "HOLD IT AGAINST ME"How It Starts: "Gimme something good/ Don't hold back, I want it now" The Part You Definitely Remember: When the final word of Britney's "I want it now" exhortation gets progressively more warped with each of four successive "nowwwwww" repetitions, as synth-bass bombs explode on all sides of it. Why It Works: The Femme Fatale lead single packed one of the most historically notable bridges of the 2010s, as in early 2011, "Hold It" became the first song to ride a dubstep drop to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- opening the floodgates for about two years' worth of subsequent pop hits to find similar success doing the same. -- A.U.

Could you IMAGINE how different everything could have been had she got the part?! I still feel like actress Brit is still in there somewhere deep down waiting for another chance.

Brit's been mostly bad in all her acting roles (I enjoyed her on HIMYM and Jane the Virgin, but they played to her strengths instead of giving her any kind of challenge), and there's a reason why Rachel made that movie/role lowkey iconic, so I think it was for the best.

I think it would have been a good single choice. Reminds me a bit of "Stronger" in ways so maybe that worked against it becoming one.

Cinderella being ROBBED as a single has been a thing for about 20 years
Literally one of her best songs ever and the BEST song off that album...

I think Britney would have been fine had she gotten the role. It's a film based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. You don't exactly have to be some thespian with years of training to do pull off those types of roles. That said, Rachel definitely elevated the script and made the role and movie much more than it was on paper. Besides, Britney's strength lies in comedy. She has great comedic timing.
As for Cinderella being a single, it might have had a better chance at being one had the music landscape not started to shift away from the type of sound she and Max Martin had created on the album. IS4U and Boys were recorded and released as singles in response to the changing music landscape. The other two main singles were co-produced by Max Martin but one of them (Overprotected) was remixed for the US audience and the other (I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman) was released in order to promote Crossroads. The latter wasn't even initially supposed to be on the Britney album but was later added when plans to release a soundtrack for Crossroads were scrapped.
The best chance Cinderella had at being released as a single would have been as an international single. But the international audience also had I Love Rock 'n' Roll as a single, which meant they would have to go 6 singles deep in order for Cinderella to be released. The album technically had a 6th single (Anticipating) but it was only released in France and had no real, major promotion.

As iconic as the music video for I Love Rock N Roll is, I'd trade Cinderella in for it anyday since the former is one of her weakest singles Also stateside success essentially is irrelevant in regards to this because this was during the height of the clear channel mess

The casting director, Matthew Berry, recently gave an interview to the Daily Mail (so feel free not to click the link) that it was actually a close call between Britney and Rachel.
I read elsewhere that, evidently, the two main reasons Rachel got the role was 1) she aced her audition and 2) the studio execs were apprehensive about Britney's celebrity potentially overshadowing the film. Although I haven't been able to find any official source stating that.

This really just makes the whole Jason situation seems that much more f**ked up, especially when he signed on to be co-conservator after they broke up to force her dad to go into a settlement so they could formally break up, lmao. There is absolutely a reason that engagement got called off. She returned the ring and he kept all of the profits he made from the X Factor, but that guy was shady as fuck.
Ugh. Just... please let 2021 be a good year for her.

I'm screaming, omg. Jamie Lynn is such a corrupt, envious leech. Fraudulent queen - literally evil. She's lucky she's not rich (fad), otherwise she would be the one under a conservatorship Poor cats - she shouldn't be allowed to drive LMAO She makes me happy to be an only child - imagine having someone that toxic as your sibling (and obviously Britney's dad is garbage too)
