Britney Spears before and after: this is what the singer looks like today
This is what the star of songs like ‘Toxic’ and ‘Oops… I did it again’ looks like today.
Britney Spears’ impact on the music industry is undeniably huge. At just 17-years-old, she took the world by storm with her debut album, “…Baby One More Time” (1999), which sold over 25 million copies and catapulted her to global stardom. Her success was solidified with “Oops!.. I Did It Again” (2000), an album that earned her the title of the “Princess of Pop.”
Established as one of the most recognised musical figures of her time, Britney continued her career, releasing several albums that achieved commercial success and cemented her influence as a trendsetter in pop music.
In 2004, she won her first and only Grammy in the category of Best Dance Recording for “Toxic.”
During this period, Britney also ventured into the film industry and participated in various TV shows and award ceremonies, such as the MTV Video Music Awards.
By 2007, she released her fifth studio album, “Blackout,” followed by “Circus” (2008) and “Femme Fatale” in 2011. Later, she embarked on a Las Vegas residency and released a couple more albums, “Britney Jean” (2013) and “Glory” (2016), though these did not achieve the same level of success as her earlier works.
Here’s how the star looks today
Despite her professional success, her personal life has been marked by significant challenges. In 2007, following her divorce from Kevin Federline and the loss of custody of her two children, Britney experienced an emotional crisis that led to her living under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie Spears, from 2008. During this period, which lasted over a decade, her rights and personal freedoms were severely restricted.
In 2020, her fans rallied for her freedom, spearheading the #FreeBritney movement, which highlighted the abuses she endured under the conservatorship. In November 2021, after thirteen years of legal battles, Britney broke free from her father’s control and regained her autonomy, becoming a symbol of resilience. Today, the “Princess of Pop” is 44 years old and continues to inspire.
