Framing Britney Spears

"...In 2021 it’s so bizarre and cringeworthy to watch what was commonplace then: late night jokes about her virginity status; reporters asking her if she had a sex life; regular shaming for expressing any burgeoning sexuality at all. Watching a montage of it, you can see how the obsessive attention surrounding her is spiraling out of control, so one can only imagine how jarring it must have been in the center of it all. By the time you’re viewing Matt Lauer (!) quiz a crying Britney (!!) about whether she’s a bad mom (!!!) for Dateline in 2006, it’s all one can do not to turn away in horror: We were okay with this?!”

The meteoric rise and disturbing fall of Britney Spears has devolved into a Kafkaesque court battle that has reawakened her fandom and raised pressing questions about mental health and an individuals' rights. A re-examination of her career and a new assessment of the movement rallying against her court-mandated conservatorship capture the unsavory dimensions of the American pop-star machine.
