The original pop star – Britney Spears is an absolute queen. At just 17, Spears broke records with her album …Baby One More Time. If you were an 80s or 90s kid, this album probably holds a place in your heart. With news stirring around Spear’s life today, it’s important to remind ourselves of the woman behind the pop star. Britney Spears quotes are a perfect way to do that.
Spears didn’t come from wealth or a famous family. She was raised in a small humble town in Louisiana. A born entertainer, she always wanted to be a singer and performer. Fortunately, with her persistence and family support, Spears was able to achieve just that.

Whether fans or not, we are starting to feel for Britney more than ever, especially after the recent NY times documentary release.
