Summary
Episode 1: From Kentwood to the World
Before she was the Undisputed Princess of Pop, Britney Spears was a determined young girl from Kentwood, Louisiana, singing in church choirs and entering local talent pageants. In the first episode of this three-part series, Jim Chapman brings you on a journey from those early days through her breakout role on The Mickey Mouse Club alongside future stars like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, to her explosive music debut in 1998.
From the record-shattering success of “…Baby One More Time” to back-to-back hits like “Oops!… I Did It Again” this episode explores how Britney became a global phenomenon almost overnight, redefining pop music for a new generation while navigating the dizzying highs of instant superstardom and her first true love, Justin Timberlake.
