Britney Spears is a star and an iconic singer-songwriter. She is also called the princess of pop for her massive contributions to teen pop. The singer became the voice of the teen spirit in her early days after signing up with Jive records. Recently, the famous artist put up an Instagram post with a brand new British accent which left fans looking for clues.
It is still unbelievable that the singer gained such early fame when she was only 15 years old. She would go on to release albums like Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, which became two of the highest-selling albums of all time. Spears went on a journey of a career. She sang, wrote, and acted in films and TV shows. She was a star no one could fail to recognize. But things took a tragic turn for the artist in 2008.
Conservatorship
After the release of one of her greatest albums, Blackout, because of mental health and personal issues, Britney Spears was placed under conservatorship. Many didn’t realize this, but Spears was fighting a more personal battle back home even as she released record-breaking albums like Glory and Femme Fatale.
Spears accused her family and management team of forcing her into a conservatorship that became permanent. In 2019, a Free Britney movement emerged, and Spears was finally able to win the case and get her rights and money back.
But long before the case and Birtney finally spoke out, fans had started noticing strange behavior in Britney’s videos and posts on social media. She would appear scared, forced, and unlike herself often when addressing her fans on social media. Believe it or not, her true fans sniffed out that something was off with Spears years before she actually spoke out about the issues with her family.
Having such an aware fanbase was a blessing in disguise for Spears, who received overwhelming support once she voiced herself. However, it comes with the risks of her personal life being not so personal. Recently, Britney appeared in a video she posted on Instagram.
The singer had a markedly different accent that sounded very British. Britney Spears is a true American, and thus, her accent took fans by surprise. Some speculated something was wrong again, but Spears made sure her fans knew that everything was just fine with her. Here’s what she said in the video:
“Thank you company for sending me this dress,” she said. “Guys, I just want you to know, if I shut down my Instagram, don’t call the cops.”
Britney’s fans have earned a reputation for being extremely vigilant when it comes to the singer’s behavior. Previously, cops have shown up at Britney’s doorstep because a fan had them go over and check on her. The singer addressed this in an Instagram post, saying:
‘As everyone knows the police were called to my home based on some prank phone calls. I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded. The police never entered my home and when they came to my gate they quickly realized there was no issue and left immediately.’
Clearly, fame is a double-edged sword for the singer-songwriter. Britney has been an icon for everyone for ages now, so it’s natural for fans to be a little too overbearing. After all, the star has had her own set of problems that her massive fanbase managed to help her out of. Thankfully, this time, it seems Spears is doing just fine with the British accent.
