Britney Spears' memoir is out this week, and we're using the moment to revisit her music.

Songs like Toxic, Baby One More Time, and of course, Lucky.

This is a story about a girl named Lucky.

And I feel like that song speaks to a lot of what Britney is about, right?

Because it's about this girl who is a star, but, you know, feeling unfulfilled.

And that, I think, those sorts of messages have been scattered throughout Britney's discography forever.

What Britney Spears was telling us all along through the music.

This week on Into It, Vultures Pop Culture Podcast.

A question I've been hearing a lot lately is, what was the last concert you went to before the

pandemic hit? This is typically followed by, well, what's the first concert going to be

the answer to that question might be, Billy Eilish, or Bad Bunny.

Or maybe you're more of a Garth Brooks person.

And the reason we know all this is because the tickets to many of these upcoming shows are

selling out at record speeds. That's right, restrictions are being lifted across the United States,

and festivals, concerts, sports, conferences. Big events are back.

Ronnie Mola is recode senior data reporter, and she spoke to big ticket sellers like

StubHub and Ticketmaster about the return of big events.

Hey, Ronnie. Hey Adam. So in-person events are finally back on our calendars.

This is great news. What are these big ticket sellers telling you, Ronnie?

So everyone's telling me there's just this pent-up demand. You know, we've been in our houses

for a year and a half now, and everyone's really eager to get back to stuff that they used to do.
