Britney Spears Toxic
Britney recorded the song “Toxic” for her fourth studio album, In the Zone in 2003. Bloodshy & Avant wrote and produced it; Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback also contributed to the writing. The song, which was later made into the second single from In the Zone, was first proposed to Kylie Minogue for her album Body Language, but she declined.
Spears struggled to decide between “(I Got That) Boom Boom” and “Outrageous” for the second single before deciding on “Toxic.” “Toxic” is a dance-pop and techno-pop song with bhangra-influenced elements that uses a variety of instruments, including surf guitar, drums, and synthesizers. Breathy vocals and high-pitched Bollywood strings from Laxmikant-“Tere Pyarelal’s Mere Beech Mein” serve as the song’s accompaniment in 1981. In its lyrics, a lover is compared to an addictive and dangerous drug.
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
She joined Christina Aguilera and many others in The Mickey Mouse Club in December 1992. In August 2003, Christina Aguilera and Spears performed “Like a Virgin” to kick off the MTV Video Music Awards. Madonna joined them midway through, and the two of them shared a kiss. The incident received a lot of media attention. The performance was ranked as the best MTV VMAs opening moment ever in 2008 by MTV, and Blender magazine named it one of the top 25 sexiest music moments in television history. Erlewine compared Spears to Christina Aguilera, another singer, saying that they both “equate maturity with transparent sexuality and the pounding sounds of nightclubs.”
Spears “set the bar for the ‘adulthood’ transition teen pop stars frequently struggle with,” according to Brittany Spanos of LA Weekly. Spears led the pack of Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Mandy Moore during the female teen pop explosion that began in 1999 and continued through the 2000s.
Britney Spears conservatorship
Judge Reva Goetz imposed an involuntary conservatorship over Britney on February 1st, appointing her father James “Jamie” Spears and lawyer Andrew M. Wallet as conservators. Up until November 2021, the conservatorship was in effect.
Jamie, Wallet, and Spears’ former business manager Lou M. Taylor among others were in charge of managing the conservatorship, which immediately sparked criticism. While Spears was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in the beginning of 2008 due to alleged mental health issues, there was initially a short-term conservatorship. Spears objected, but it was eventually prolonged for several months and made permanent.
When Spears’ father was admitted to the hospital in 2019, her career was put on hold. She later checked herself into a mental health facility, citing stress related to her father’s condition. Soon after, information about the conservatorship started to leak from within the management group. Personal accounts and investigative reporting revealed Spears’s long-standing dissatisfaction with the conservatorship. Jamie’s legal team argued that keeping the conservatorship in place was in Spears’ best interests. #FreeBritney, a social movement that called for the end of the conservatorship, gained international media attention in 2020 and experienced a rapid growth after the airing of a 2021 television documentary on the subject.
Spears requested the end of her conservatorship in her first public statement in court proceedings in June 2021. She detailed instances of mistreatment, coercion, and conflict of interest and accused her father, her relatives, and management of abuse. On July 14, Spears was given the option to select her own attorney, Greenberg Traurig’s Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor. In an apparent effort to avoid discovery and deposition, Jamie and his team filed to terminate the conservatorship on September 7. On September 29, Judge Penny suspended Jamie and replaced him with accountant John Zabel, allowing the conservatorship to last until its conclusion. Judge Penny formally ended the conservatorship on November 12.
Spears became a national symbol for human rights and the reform of conservatorship law as a result of the dispute and subsequent victory, and it set the stage for state and federal legislation intended to stop this kind of abuse. The revelations of Spears’ abuse and mistreatment during this relationship as well as her years in the spotlight caused a reevaluation of her legacy and public persona, which had been severely distorted by the media and tabloids in the years preceding her highly publicized breakdown.
