After watching the premiere of MTV’s commendable documentary Britney: For The Record, I’m overcome with a mixture of unadulterated hope and exhaustion!

For The Record gave us a 90 minute event-filled tour through the last couple of months in Britney Spears’ life. During which, we witnessed Britney shed vulnerable tears but also unleash her signature giggle.

Often underscored by an air of confinement, Britney unveiled her sadness, insecurities, and ambitions to us with minor restraint. But what made the special so digestible was the class and sincerity with which it was executed!

And after taking this frank journey with Britney from the 2008 VMAs up to the shoot for her upcoming Circus video, it’s obvious that Ms. Spears is poised to silence her naysayers with a newfound resilience that I find straight-up inspiring.

You caught this, right? How stoked are you for the December 2nd album release?
