From turbulent childhood to global superstar - A journey through The Woman in Me
While Britney has been dubbed "The Princess Of Pop," she has oftentimes been judged and misjudged about the events in her real life. Throughout the years of her profession, her name was associated with Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline, and other famous people.
Not only her love life but also her childhood was unhappy. She was a part of the dysfunctional family and eventually became confined in a 13 year long conservatorship. But throughout the ups and downs of her life, Britney has always embraced dancing and singing and found solace in her work.
In the book, the songstress who was born on December 2, 1981, in Mississippi, shared excerpts of the highs and lows of her life. Talking about her early life, Britney Spears said, “I worked hard to make things look the way I wanted to. Nobody in my town seemed to be doing stuff like that. But I knew I wanted to see it in the world, and I tried to make it so.”
As a young 8-year-old, she started to direct imaginary music videos on her own. Her mother Lynn, who published the memoir Britney/Heart To Heart, disclosed that no matter what transpired in their family, they continued to pay bills for her dancing and singing lessons. Britney, at one point, worked at a seafood restaurant.
Although Britney was rejected the first time she attempted to audition for Disney’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, she made it and was part of the dazzling program. She worked with stars like Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and many more.
She entered the music industry professionally when she was 15 years old, and she had her first record deal. However, the moment she joined the world of entertainment, Britney became victim the subject of intense media scrutiny. She hit several rough patches, including mental health struggles and a battle against her conservatorship, which prompted her to stand against her family.
In her memoir, the singer wrote, “I was a teenage girl from the South. I signed my name with a heart. I liked looking cute. Why did everyone treat me, even when I was a teenager, like I was dangerous?”
Despite the highs and lows, Britney managed to earn a dedicated fanbase and numerous accolades through her lifetime, cementing her status as one of the most prominent stars in pop culture history.
