Starting with her pig-tailed debut, she rocketed to Stardom as one of the biggest pop stars of all time.

At first, all her dreams seemed to be coming true, but behind the scenes, things weren't going so well for this icon.

A divorce, a custody battle, stints in the hospital for mental health reasons, and then finally,

her rights were stripped away via an allegedly temporary legal mechanism.

A decade later, the conservatorship remains.

How could a pop legend end up with her every move controlled?

This week's episode is The Free Brittany Movement, part one.

I'm a very important question.

Please.

What is your favorite Brittany song?

Okay, I've been solidly listening to Brittany since we decided to.

I will tell you what, listening to Britney Spears is like a jolt.

It's better than a cup of coffee.

If I'm feeling sluggish at my desk, put my headphones on.

I love toxic.

Yeah, I've had toxic and circus stuck in my head all day, but I'm going back and forth between those two.

I think later Brittany stuff is not as appreciated as it should have been.

Oh, was it glory that came out in like two years ago?

That one was very good with slumber party and stuff.

Slumber party is a banger.

She's got, I mean, even her B side tracks, I think are still good,

but the embarrassing thing about me is probably my favorite song is She So Lucky.
