Who would want to trade with Britney Spears?

Together with producer Max Martin, Britney Spears was responsible for the return of teenage pop in the second half of the nineties. Spears began her career at age eleven at the New Mickey Mouse Club (which also included Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera). She had already auditioned for the program at the age of eight, but the producers still thought she was too young. Instead, she went to the Professional Performing Arts School and starred in a number of Broadway shows and commercials.

Spears returned to New York at age 15 after the New Mickey Mouse Club was canceled. There she auditioned for pop bands and made a number of demos. Her big breakthrough came in 1998 with the song ' Baby One More Time'. Spears' image was innocent and sexy at the same time. This sparked discussion about how this affected young girls.

Spears has also acted in the movie “Crossroads” and had a reality soap, “Chaotic” (2005), with her then-husband Kevin Federline. She separated from Federline in 2006, shortly after the birth of her second child. The divorce and custody case were widely covered in the tabloid press, as was Spears' partying after her divorce.

One of the most poignant is an interview she gave to renowned television journalist Diane Saywer at age 21. It had just broken up with Justin Timberlake, who, using a Britney lookalike in his Cry Me a River clip, had given the impression that Spears had cheated. According to Spears, the truth was exactly the other way around, but Sawyer questioned her as if she were a world leader with a dual agenda. She remained polite, but in her book, she says that this interview was a turning point in her life. Instead of growing, she got stuck in the idea that she was seen as a bad person.

In a novel, it would be an ostentatious reference to her own life, marked by tragedy. The low point was the disaster year 2007, in which Britney Spears lost custody of her two sons and was sent to rehab by her family, led by her father, and placed under guardianship. In that difficult year, she also delivered the album Blackout, which, in her own eyes, was her best work
