The Spin

Narrative A

This is a landmark deal for Spears, who was able to secure the deal for roughly $200 million — the same ballpark figure that megastar Justin Bieber was able to secure for his deal. The pop star is reportedly very happy with the agreement.

Narrative B

This agreement comes after Spears' long-term conservatorship, in which her father managed her finances and business decisions, was ended by a court in 2021 — finally giving her control over her career.
