2007 was a terrible year for Britney Spears. He could not spend more than 24 hours in rehabilitation, he shaved his head in front of the press, his private life was the daily bread of the press and his return to music, with “Gimme More”, at the 2007 MTV VMAs It was a complete disaster capped by attacks on her physical condition after giving birth to her second child.

But Britney survived that storm and, the following year, she returned to the same awards to win three awards for the video clip for “Piece of me”, the second single from “Blackout”, an album that entered pop history and led the preference lists of that time.

The American singer still had a lot to face, such as the guardianship of her father James Jaime Spears, from whom she was able to free herself after 13 years of legal battle, in 2021. After so much road traveled, the artist has published “The Woman in Me” to tell the experiences he suffered in his career.

His 2007 presentation couldn’t be missed, because it was one of the hardest of his career, when he was just trying to turn the game around, putting his music above his private life. But society looked at her from the sick canons of beauty: they did not even wonder about Britney’s depressed emotional state, who even suffered a panic attack before going on stage.

WHAT WAS THE PANIC ATTACK THAT BRITNEY SPEARS SUFFERED AT THE 2007 MTV VMAS?

In her memoir “The Woman in Me,” Britney Spears said she suffered a panic attack before going out to sing “Gimme More” at the 2007 MTV VMAs because she didn’t feel ready to give a performance worthy of his talent and for meeting Justin Timberlake again in the dressing room.

“It had been a long time since we last saw each other. In his world, everything was perfect. He was at the top of his career and had a lot of arrogance. I was having a panic attack. I hadn’t rehearsed enough. I hated the way I looked. “I knew everything was going to go wrong,” said the artist.

Britney was close to not showing up. The day before, she hadn’t slept. Her mental state was getting worse and worse, especially due to the problems that arose regarding her appearance on stage.

“Behind the scenes, nothing was going well. There was a problem with my outfit and my hair extensions. He hadn’t been able to sleep a wink the night before. I was dizzy. It had been less than a year since I had my second baby in two years, but everyone acted like not having abs was something very offensive,” she explained.

He added that “I couldn’t believe I had to go out on stage feeling the way I felt.” It wasn’t her best performance. They criticized everything, from his physical condition to the playback. While Justin was awarded, he was cheered, and he even got cozy with other women on his show.
