What did Britney Spears' life look like in 2007? Multiple insiders said they witnessed Spears crying backstage, with reports that she "broke down" and repeated "I'm so embarrassed". One of her punchlines was referring to Spears' two children as "the cutest mistakes you’ve ever seen". One rumour referred to comedian Sarah Silverman, who performed a stand up set at the VMAs. There were countless rumours surfacing at the time. Of course, we cannot verify whether this version of events is true. "She went into a wild rage and started lashing out at everyone - including her stylist." "She knew she hadn't rehearsed enough and was going to mess up the whole show and possibly her career - then she saw her hairdo and it was the final straw. She was really nervous beforehand and immediately knew she had blown it." "I looked like a fat pig!" What we didn't see on screen.Īccording to a source at MTV, Spears was in a state of "absolute blind panic" before the performance. "Britney was crying backstage," one source told tabloids.
