Britney Spears has had a tumultuous life and career, with many ups and downs. In 2007, she experienced a very public breakdown, which led her to temporarily lose primary custody of her children and be placed under a legal conservatorship in 2008. The conservatorship gave her father, Jamie Spears, control over her finances and her person. In February 2021, Hulu released an episode of The New York Times Presents titled “Framing Britney Spears,” which renewed public interest in her conservatorship. Britney spoke to the court in June 2021, calling the conservatorship "abusive" and saying she had lied by "telling the whole world Im OK and Im happy". In November 2021, a judge officially terminated the conservatorship, giving Britney the ability to control her life. Since then, she has been largely free to make her own medical, financial, and personal decisions.

In the intervening years, Britney has experienced a number of major life changes, including getting married to and later separating from her long-term boyfriend, Sam Asghari. In April 2022, she announced on Instagram that she was pregnant with her and Asgharis first child together. On June 9, 2022, about a month after Britney publicly shared the news of her miscarriage, she and Asghari tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home.

Britneys personal life, social media presence, and overall well-being have been subject to renewed media interest and fan speculation since the termination of her conservatorship. She has been posting a lot on her Instagram, including some risqué pics and videos, which has led to fans suggesting something is wrong with her. However, Britney has claimed that she is just blowing off steam from being under the conservatorship for so long.
