Britney Spears has seemingly been everywhere lately. Promoting her ninth album, Glory, she performed at the iHeartRadio music festival in Vegas on Saturday and the Apple Music festival in London on Tuesday – where she almost got dropped on stage by one of her dancers. I’m well aware Brit has some vocal assistance on stage, but she can sure put on a show, as evidenced by clips from both of these performances. Brit has also been quite the media darling over the past few months, pranking Jimmy Kimmel, singing carpool karaoke with James Corden and doing countless interviews.
While in London for the Apple Music Fest, the 34-year-old singer chatted with ITV personality Lorraine Kelly about her tumultuous 20s. Everybody remembers the head shaving, the quickie marriage to Jason Alexander and her tabloid fodder relationship with Kevin Federline. An older and wiser Brit told Lorraine that she’s in a much better place now, telling her, “I like my 30s way more than my 20s. My 20s were horrible! [Being] in my teens was fun, but I like my 30s. My 30s are great. You know who you really are.”
I think that’s kind of a given, really. If nothing else, Britney looks amazing. She posted a photo on Instagram earlier this week in a sexy black dress that’s already gotten over 360,000 likes.
Britney, who told Marie Claire about a recent bad date and proclaimed that she was kind of “done with men”, asserted “I don’t believe in marriage anymore,” Britney seems to fully accept being solo for the moment. She told ITV, “It’s okay to be single! I’m in a really good place right now. I’m loving myself every day and learning who I am. It’s awakening, it’s cool.” Of course, this doesn’t mean she’s not looking. While in London, she spotted a hunk on a motorcycle and took a quick video before he went speeding off. While she was filming, she narrated in a terrible British accent, saying, “My crush in London. Very hot very hot very hot!” She is right, you know. He is a hottie.
I’m glad Britney seems to have her act together. Girl has been through a lot. But weren’t everybody’s 20s a bit crazy? Mine were (starter marriage and all) and I survived. I actually am enjoying my 40s more than my 20s (or 30s). The best could be yet to come for you too, Britney, so hang in there.

She looks like she has done something to her face….hardly recognized her!
I zoomed in and noticed the same thing. Something in the mouth/upper lip area?
Oh she’s had a looooooot of work done recently. It’s tragic.
She got a nose job about two years ago, which made her nose a lot pointier. But it also made her whole face look a lot harsher than it used to be, which is really sad.
And she keeps getting injections in her upper lip. They subside (she looked amazing on the VMA red carpet), but it looks like she topped them up before she flew to London.
I wish she’d stop, or at least find a better doctor. I think she shares the same guy who works on Kate Hudson’s face and lips — they’ve both looked a little harsher and puffier in recent years, and were randomly posing together on each other’s instagrams a bit ago.
New teeth, no? That would change the entire shape of her lower jaw.
Yes. The bite looks much different + the lip injections “trout pout” and a new nose job 2 years ago… SUNSCREEn please
I can’t imagine anyone not being pleased with this outcome for Britney.
“We were rooting for you! We’re all rooting for you!”
Brittany is so likeable and so fragile that I think everyone wants her to be healthy and happy.
I’d love to give her a makeover though!
I love Britney. Her snapchat(?) videos are seriously the best EVER. She’s funny and silly and I love seeing that side of her, especially with her kids, because to me it captures her essence. Her son recently scared her at home and she was in glasses and a cute white mighty and she seemed so normal. Far cry from the barefoot gas bathroom days. I couldn’t be more pleased for this stranger that I feel such affection for.
I liked my 20’s because I became a mom. My 30s were mostly spent trying to get a divorce and learn how to be a single mom. I turned 40 this year and really look forward to this decade, even though this particular year has kind of sucked.
Her body is BANGING. I love her legs especially.
her face though.. she looks like the joker and the facial expressions she makes make her look a bit weird/crazy.
She has had a fantastic comeback, hopefully we won’t have to witness again what happened 10 years ago.
Live long and prosper Brit!
Came here to say the same about her body. Britney’s body is bomb!
My 20s weren’t as bad as hers, but I agree with her; my 30s were a lot more fun. And yes, it’s nice to see her in a good place.
I do miss my 20’s for some things- the health and stamina of youth, being a bit more carefree and untethered etc. Lots of good years and good memories. But I will say, what I appreciate about my 30s and 40s is getting to know myself better and not giving as much of a sh*t what other people think of me.
I have to admit, I didn’t always think much of Britney-I wasn’t a fan of her music, I thought she wasn’t very bright and frankly seemed really spoiled and selfish during the period after she got married and had her kids but was still out partying with the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Looking at what happened afterwards, it seems pretty obvious her breakdown was starting and I feel bad that she didn’t seem to have a lot of support from anyone close to her, possibly for many, many years. Not to mention a snake like Sam Lufti being allowed to get in close to her and do what he did. I still lay some blame at her parents door-they let her be sexualized as a young teen in order to boost her career and then seemed to make no attempt to help her transition into adulthood, which helped torpedo her mental health.
I think the conservatorship was probably necessary at the time, but I wish they would give her some degree of control back over her own life and decisions. It is nice to see her look happier and healthier than she has in quite awhile. I will probably never listen to her music, but I’m rooting for her.
I have a soft spot for Brittany Spears, I’m glad she’s doing well. She looks great!
This is a sad reality for many people with mental illness. My early twenties, up to age 25, are a blur of untreated anxiety disorder, panic attacks, weight gain, ADD and hypochondria. All untreated. I love love love my 30s because I know about my issues and have really good treatment, and now I can live my life without my disorders controlling me.
It seems it was very similar for Brit. Her mental illness ruled her life when she was younger. She obviously has the help she needs now. I feel like I relate to her deeply in this way.
The only thing I miss about my 20s is my ability to drink and not get hungover lol.
Young Britney was so hounded by the media and misguided by her money hungry family, it’s a miracle she made it out sane. I was upset when she broke down and shaved her head and literally had a breakdown. Lessons learned the hard way. I’m in her corner and glad she came out relatively unscathed and can still have a career. Yay Brit Brit.
I wouldn’t say unscathed, it has taken a loong time for her to get to this good place she’s in right now. Hopefully the conservatorship is relaxed so she can start to make her own decisions.
If anyone deserves this kind of confidence, and self assurance, it’s Britney.
I will always have a soft spot for her. Her Instagram is genuine and I appreciate that she’s (able) willing to put herself out there that way. I wish her all of the best.
The only thing I miss about my twenties are my boobs. Man, they were fabulous.
And when will hair extensions no longer be a thing? They almost always look dated and tacky.
Ha ha… my 20-something boobs were fabulous too!
My 30’s were much better than my 20’s in that I knew who I was and owned/accepted my particular mix of strengths & weaknesses.
I don’t listen to her music, but I have a soft spot for B. Glad to hear she’s doing well. She’s more likeable than most pop stars today.
I always say I would never want to be in my 20s but I want the skin of my 20s. I had a boob reduction when I was 19 so they still look pretty awesome at 40.
I miss my metabolism in my twenties. I have to work twice as hard to stay the same size! Good on you, Brit Brit, but I wish you’d leave your face alone.
It would bè nice to hear a more accurate interview about her very troubled past, just her point of view about the whole mess she’s been in for a while.I d like to understand how she elaborated that and how much she was conscious about her own mindstate
There’s a MTV documentary from some years back that she did. It was around the time of her “comeback” album Circus. She touched on some things and got very emotional about shaving her head and the breakdown. It might be on YouTube.
Thanks I will check it… I remember I have seen something about it but she looked medicated and not one hundred percent there ….is she still on media today or?
Someone tweeted very recently being present at one of Britney’s British interviews, and said she brought up the conservatorship herself and clearly wanted to talk about it, but that the host changed the subject because you could tell he was specifically told that was a no-go.
I’ve never been a fan but I’m still rooting for her. She’s really been through hell and I’m glad she seems happier and more stable than in the past.
I think she is looking great! But her hair always looks so raggedy to me. I feel like it needs major treatment or a sleeker cut.
Britney seems like such a gentle soul. I enjoy her music but I enjoy her personality even more so. She just seems genuine in her strength and her vulnerability, her successes and her failures…she doesn’t put on this show that she – or her life – is perfect 24/7/365. I really appreciate her honesty and agree with her about not missing our 20s – mine were a mess. Buried my first boyfriend at the start of my 20s, got married at 25, and struggled with severe depression for the entire decade…right until the age of 35 when I got a divorce, returned to school to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher, and I am now 37 years old, feeling happier than I ever have in my entire life. I look forward to my 40s and I also look forward to cheering on Britney as she continues on with her life.
Britney Jean Spears, HONEY, what in the HELL have you done to the lower half of your (previously) flawlessly beautiful face?!?!?! Did you have half of each of your mandible bones shaved off? Why do I now see shades of The Joker around your mouth? Oh, honey, NO. NO. NO. Just…NO. KEEP your personal trainer (your body is ROCKIN’ HOT!) , KEEP your therapist (you seem to be keeping it all together and to be in a great place, mentally, and emotionally.) FIRE your stylist. And SUE that butcher of a plastic surgeon who ruined your face.
