Britney Spears has had a few rough years lately, after her monstrous success on the pop music scene, which began with her chartbreaking debut single, “...Baby One More Time”.

Since then, the pop princess has been through a lot of unfortunate moments. She was accused of alcohol abuse and drug abuse, not to mention that she was almost constantly followed around by full-fledged armies of paparazzi.

However, she kept on releasing single after single, slowly taking over the entire pop market. Unfortunately, her problems took their toll on her. After her marriage to Kevin Federline and the birth of their two sons, the true problems began for Britney Spears. Britney was photographed driving off, with her son in her lap – needless to say, it did not bode well for her in the later-on custody trial.

Another incident regarding her children included Britney almost dropping one of her sons as she tripped on the sidewalk. Her bodyguard caught the small child at the last moment. Unfortunately for Britney, both events were splashed across the covers of tabloids worldwide – as was her “hair shaving” extravaganza, prompting Britney to release the single “Piece of Me”, a type of explanation for how some events are blown out of proportion. Her divorce from Kevin Federline was followed by a custody case, where the judge ruled in favor of Federline.

Recently, Britney has taken over the music world again, as her new single “Circus” is No.1 on the sale charts, in just the first week of its release. Her recently-announced tour is the first in the last couple of years and promises to top her eccentric shows from the beginning of her career.
