Britney Spears criticised newer artists who she believes have adopted her early image, writing on Instagram that 'at least mine was real'. The singer questioned the authenticity of those reinventions while reflecting on her own experiences in pop music.
Her comments centred on women she believed had recreated the style associated with her younger years. Spears contrasted those apparent transformations with her account of her school days and her insistence that she had been authentic.
