Britney Spears, born December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, is an American singer, dancer, and actress widely credited with spearheading the late-1990s teen-pop revival. She began her career as a child performer on *The All-New Mickey Mouse Club* before launching a highly successful solo music career. Her debut single, "...Baby One More Time," released in 1998, became a global sensation and established her as a pop icon. Spears followed with hit albums such as *Oops!... I Did It Again* and *Britney*, producing numerous chart-topping singles[1][5]. Throughout the early 2000s, Spears was a dominant figure in pop music, known for her catchy songs, elaborate performances, and cultural impact. She headlined major tours, appeared in films like *Crossroads*, and maintained a strong media presence. Notable moments include her 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance with a white albino python, which remains iconic[3].
