I waenganui i te huarahi ka hono atu a Madonna, ka kihi tahi raua. He nui te pānuitanga o te tūtukitanga.

I kiia e Vibe he "Pae kanikani tino maia e whakaatu ana hoki i te whanaketanga o Spears hei kaituhi waiata".

I te Pipiri 2004, ka hinga a Spears ka whara i tona turi maui i te wa e kopere ana i te riipene ataata mo "Outrageous". I whakahaeretia a Spears ki tētahi mahi arthroscopic.
