Pop diva Britney Spears has quite the reputation as one of Hollywood’s biggest socialites, and this year has been one for the record books when it comes to things to celebrate. Along with publically turning her party girl life around over the past year, Spears has also made the comeback of a lifetime with her music career, preparing America for her new album Circus. Featuring the newly-released single “Womanizer,” Circus will debut on December 2, Spears’ 27th birthday.



Sending rumors, blogs and speculation flying across the Internet, Spears recently released the cover art for Circus and a list of the album’s tracks, as well. Aside from the catchy song and scandalous music video for the album’s first single “Womanizer,” Spears has also promised more of edgy staples with other singles like “Circus,” “Mmm Papi” and “Lace and Leather,” all to appear on this winter’s release of Circus. Sporting a skeptically innocent pose and wearing a frilly pink dress with a golden backdrop on the cover of Circus, the only things that scream chaos-wreaking three ring circus are the stars and block lettering announcing the Britney Spears stamp of approval on the cover of the album.

Before Spears was involved in a slanted fairytale that included a lavish wedding and subsequent divorce resulting in two children and one nasty custody battle, the gorgeous Louisiana native was rocking the school-girl outfit in her teenage years while declaring, “Hit me baby, one more time.” The year was 1998, and Britney Spears had already made her name a mainstay among boy bands like Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. The former Mouseketeer grew up performing on The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Christina Aguilera, and the late ‘90s were a time for all teen pop musicians to break out on their own. After a string of demos and auditions, Spears scored big with her debut single “…Baby One More Time,” immediately following up the earth-shattering single with songs like “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” “Sometimes” and “From the Bottom of My Broken Heart.” Spears’ debut album …Baby One More Time sold more than 10 million albums by 1999, setting the young teen pop idol up for the monumental success that followed.

Britney Spears kept the American mainstream satisfied with her innocent-yet-curious image through the early 2000s, eventually making the extreme transformation from naïve Catholic school girl to pulsating sex goddess. From Oops!...I Did It Again (2000) to Britney (2001) and In the Zone (2003), Spears morphed into a sex symbol, releasing highly sexualized songs and music videos to singles like “Toxic” and “Me Against the Music” while lighting the fire with the Britney-Madonna kiss at the 2003 VMA Awards. By 2005, Spears and her recklessly high-flying antics had gotten her burned a few times with the entertainment industry, and a high-profile relationship with backup dancer Kevin Federline led to Spears’ down spiral that started with two pregnancies and seemingly ended with a stint in rehab. Despite ongoing struggles with her personal life, Britney Spears reemerged on scene again in 2007 with the album Blackout, an instant number one on the charts that led the revolution to millions of fans with Britney Spears tickets in line to see the pop princess dominate the mainstream once again. Now completely headed for a comeback with Circus, Britney Spears concerts are thriving with lively tunes and positive energy.
