But after the show was canceled two years later returned to Britney's house and made "normal teenager stuff," attend pool parties and was homecoming queen. As a teenager, Britney soon grew restless again and this time was desperate to is a star again. Again, he traveled to New York and sent demo tapes to various labels, including Sony and Mercury, but was knocked down. It was Jive Records that finally took the young Britney and went on to make the star , it is today.

In late 1998 jive released her debut single "(Hit Me) Baby One More Time", which was a pop hit around the world, accompanied by sixteen years, the first of many controversial acts - the video, which featured Britney dressed in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform, down her belly, which will soon become a trademark.

At just 18, Britney released her second album, 2000, # 1 hit "Oops I Did It Again" and only with the same title, which completed the singles chart for 5 weeks. Smash singles "Stronger" and "Lucky", followed, but it was around this time that Britney began to travel more than a few eyebrows. It seemed some people were not very happy with the message to impressionable young children. On the one hand, Britney is the perfect picture of innocence, declaring himself a virgin until marriage, but on the other hand, was sexually charged and provocative, with performance as the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000, when the costume did appear scantily-clad. When the young woman grew, it seemed there was an internal conflict between the management and her mother, all the pulling in different directions. But the image the public saw was a beautiful young woman, beautifully dressed and damn close to perfection, often called "Pop Princess» around the world. Nevertheless, the awards kept rolling in early 2001 Britney struck a lucrative contract with Pepsi-Cola for sponsorship and advertising. The 19-year-old grew rapidly, with the media constantly fixed on what was not done, "rivalry" with former fellow Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera but blooms relationship with N * Sync heartthrob Justin Timberlake. Britney was keen that people saw as a growing woman began to ready the public for the next edition of the LP in late 2001.
In November, a top 10 hit with the sexually charged "I'm a Slave 4 U", which took a completely different turn in musical direction from the previous singles and in the same month released her third album, self titled "Britney "which shot to top the album charts, books for a female artist. The performance of "Slave" on the MTV VMA provoked the ire of activists for animal rights, which she sang with a live giant Snake and wearing little herself. It was a lot of Britney for just three years ago and perhaps the critical moment when what some would say "started to go downhill." Sales of her third album, while impressive, if not as high as with previous versions, perhaps due to the increase of new pop female singers flooding the market, but Britney is still extremely popular, which is carried out. In early 2002, was released on 20-year-old Britney "I'm not a girl not yet a woman", taken from the soundtrack of her debut movie Crossroads (2002 / I), released in February of that year. soon hit the charts with "over protected" and also toured around the world to «Dream within a tour dream." But it had always seemed too much for Britney, four years in connection with Timberlake ended suddenly and very public and was soon announced that it would take 6 months off, after all he had accomplished so much from such a young age and in such a short time. star was never fade, the "Forbes" declaring " the most powerful celebrity "in mid-2002
While she may have been a break from her career, she was no break from the media who followed her relentlessly, even more pronounced for the track and find out what was up. Britney was let more pop princess crown slip, admitting that she had lost her virginity sacred to Timberlake, outside of marriage. Britney was also observed, smoking and drinking to excess on wild nights out and famously breaking down in tears while interviewed by Diane Sawyer about her parents (who were recently divorced) and the bitter split from Timberlake. Britney was linked to men such as Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and openly kissed Colin Farrell at a movie premiere. But it seemed to come together again for the new album was released in late 2003. In a blitz of publicity which included the infamous "Like a Virgin" performance and Madonna kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards, in August of that year. The new album "In The Zone" was an attempt to be seen as a woman and caused controversy with songs on it as "Breathe on Me" and "Touch of my hand" - which was about masturbation - however, the appeal of Britney was still there, the album topped the Billboard 200 album chart. The first single to be lifted was "too anti-music" a club hit that featured pop icon Madonna and singing with her was a dream come true for Britney. Now 22, it seemed Britney was in a lot more control over her career but her personal life still seemed to be slipping. In January 2004, Britney got "married" with childhood friend Jason Alexander in a ceremony in Las Vegas. The incident shocked the world, especially when the marriage was annulled 55 hours later described as "a joke taken too far" from the administration.
Britney soon released one of the biggest singles, "Toxic" which completed the various charts around the world including the UK and Canadian singles charts. The single was a smash-hit and silenced any critics that said Britney no longer had what it took to make a comeback. Soon began highly publicized and overtly sexual of the "Onyx Hotel Tour", which was canceled a few months later after Britney damaged his knee during a video recording, and had to undergo treatment. Other singles from the album included the Gold Selling "Everytime", which topped the British charts singles and as usual, also did a lot of controversy about the video, which allegedly depicted the star to commit suicide after a quarrel with his girlfriend, played by Steven Dorff, however, this "transformation" in an accident in which drowns even reincarnate. It was around this time that Britney began to Kevin Federline, former backup dancer who has toured with them a few months in advance. The snag here was that Kevin came with baggage - in the form of an "ex" girlfriend, heavily pregnant "Moesha" (1996) actress Shar Jackson and their young children. Britney and Kevin soon became engaged and were married in September 2004 in a secret ceremony shortly after the birth of her second child Kevin. That same month, Britney released a single from her upcoming "Greatest Hits" album (released in November 2004), a cover of Bobby Brown's 1988 hit "My prerogative".
Britney was a changed woman who is no longer what the public thought or appearance, which parted ways with the director, whom he had since he was 13, and was increasingly stepping out looking more " trailer trash "by multi-millionaire. In February 2005, Britney won her first Grammy for the single "Toxic" as Best Dance Recording. Just two months later, it was announced Britney was pregnant her first child. A reality television series "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic" (2005), which contained the pair know each other last year, which led to their wedding aired on UPN and eventually got a worldwide audience, despite harsh criticism. In September 2005, developed Britney again, this time as a devoted wife and mother with the birth of her first child, a son they named Sean Preston. In November of that year, he released a remix album "B in the mix, the Remixes".
