How Britney Spears film Crossroads predicted her future

Back in 2002 Britney Spears released her first movie in which she starred as the lead. Britney's work, her discography, music videos, and even interviews are often prophetic. An example of this eerie phenomenon is Britney's music video Everytime. Everytime was released in 2003, and the music video showed Spears being wheeled out into an ambulance while the paparazzi shamefully swarmed it. This exact scene would come to pass in reality during Britneys tumultuous year of 2007. Crossroads is the most recent of Britney's work to showcase a nod to her future.

FREEDOM

In 2008 Britney Spears was placed under a conservatorship. Her estranged father Jamie Spears was made conservator of her person, and estate. The conservatorship was highly abusive leading to public outrage which spurred a fan movement called #freebritney in hopes to dissolve the arrangement. After public pressure, finally being allowed to hire her own attorney, and heartbreaking testimony Britney Spears was freed in 2021. Back in 2002 Britney rocked a black crop top for a scene in Crossroads that read FREEDOM.

LIONESS

Britney Spears began dating Sam Asghari in 2017. In 2021 they became engaged. Sam lovingly nicknamed Britney "lioness" and had the moniker engraved into the ring he used to propose with. For the I Love Rock n Roll scene in Crossroads Zoe Saldana wore a shirt sporting a lion on the front.

PREGNANT

Britney Spears recently announced she is pregnant with her third child. It will be her and Sam Asghari's first child together. The pregnancy is joyous news for Britney and her fans. Especially due to her father's refusal to allow Britney to become pregnant when he was her conservator. While in the conservatorship Britney was given an IUD she wasn't allowed to have removed in order to keep her from having more children despite her desire to do so. In the 2002 film Crossroads Taryn Manning's character Mimi is pregnant.
