And, seriously, THROUGH IT ALL:
RCA Records

And that's EXACTLY what Britney has done with her latest album, Glory. She has come back for the 439th time.
From Rolling Stone...
...to the L.A. Times...
...and Vanity Fair.
Everyone agrees Glory is magnificent. Britney is back.
Buuuut you know what? None of this even matters.
RCA
Britney can keep on posting pictures of her kids...
...motherfucking teacups...
...and screenshots of corn she finds on Google.
She has nothing to prove anymore.
So whether or not this album sells a million or 200 copies, who cares?
RCA
Britney Spears is making Britney Spears music again.
She's genuinely happy and there's NOTHING more thrilling than seeing that.
