Britney was placed under a court-ordered conservatorship, with her father Jamie Spears and an attorney taking control of her personal and business affairs.

Despite the conservatorship, Britney continued to perform, embarking on several tours and residencies in Las Vegas.

Britney's lawyer requested that Jamie Spears be removed as conservator, and a judge eventually suspended him, paving the way for the end of the conservatorship.

Her debut album '...Baby One More Time' topped the charts in 15 nations and sold over 25 million copies worldwide.

Britney released her second studio album 'Oops...I Did It Again,' which broke records and solidified her status as a pop icon.

Britney confirmed she was dating Justin Timberlake, a relationship that lasted until 2002.

The breakup with Justin Timberlake led to intense media scrutiny, which affected Britney's mental health.

Britney married childhood friend Jason Alexander in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas, but the marriage was annulled three days later.

Britney married dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she had two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Britney filed for divorce from Kevin Federline and later lost custody of her two sons due to her erratic behavior.
