Dear Britney (bitch),

I still think womanizer is an A1 song, thanks for publicly calling out f*ckboys before the rest of us caught on. Not the first example of you being ahead of your time. The classic '07 spears look is also what all of us late teens/early twenties kids are headed towards now.

Britney, you are truly a trendsetter.

Not only were you able to call out men for wasting your time, you were confident as hell while you did it. Turning the tables on the classic guy and girl dynamic before it was acceptable to do it, confidently claiming your own desires. Britney also was ahead of the body suit trend (peep her music video for 3).

Britney, you are what all the progressive stars today strive to be. Forward moving, no f*cks given, absolutely iconic. I guarantee if you were to ask anyone of any age to name a Britney Spears song at least 85 percent of them would be able to.

Britney, You have managed to engrave yourself in not only my age group's childhood, but also the younger children. My seven-year-old sister still thinks "Scream And Shout" was the best song ever, even though it isn't because everything after 2009 kind of sucks.

But not you! You're still inspirational, raising two kids, out of the immediate spotlight, but still great enough to jump right back in if you wanted.

Britney will always be on my radar. And Madonna's of course. Who could forget the iconic make-out performance? Or the Pepsi commercial? The 2001 MTV music awards?

Even if she lip syncs, she's good at it. Bad Britney even looks good, who could forget the jess (jean dress).

Hit us baby one more time with that beautiful Britney bodaciousness. We are all feigning for more Britney Badness. I think Britney could make the world good again.

Britney was the beginning of a revolution. A revolution of womanhood. If not for Britney, who would have taught 8-year-old me that I can be crazy and own it. Not only that, I could be crazy and people would love it, people would want more, people would think it was the hottest thing ever! Thank you, Britney, for being batshit crazy but also the biggest badass. She paved the pathway to sexiness!

Britney is what I aspire to be. Thank you, Britney for being an inspiration, even though you weren't necessarily trying to.

So to Britney:

Hope you're doing well, Hope your kids are as great as their mom, hope you drop some songs on us soon, we all still miss you.

Keep slaying, and hope to see you in Vegas soon.

Sincerely,

The circus (AKA your fanbase)
