FOLLOW ELLEN:

The place for laughs, joy, stars, surprises, and everything Ellen.

This makes me tear up. She was so pure and happy. Never deserved what happened to her by the hands of her family.

[TomLugo]

I think Ellen was one of the few people who interviewed Britney with dignity, respect, and love. She was kind to her and never even mentioned any "controversies" the media was putting up against Britney. After watching back some of the horrible interviews she had to go through, Ellen must have been such a relief.

[luciedonoughe]

She's so humble. This world took advantage of her kind soul.

[emmad.]

She looks absolutely beautiful here and has a kind of soft glow. I love how Ellen is with her as well.

[dimitribahchevanski]

I cant help but feel sad, knowing what's ahead for this nice, beautiful person...

[brookpickett]

It's so refreshing to hear her authentic laugh and see her have fun on this one.

[davevayn]

She shared her kindness with people and brought them so much joy and light it’s amazing ❤

[Lottie]

2004 was a better time. Britney was unbroken and Ellen seemed genuinely nice and not fake

[oceanegele]

Every interview I see until today, she’s like a young vulnerable child trying to find her way and please people. If she had a kind, loving, and supportive family and positive, grounded people as friends, I’m sure it would have changed her life.

[milescrawford]

Britney looks so beautiful in this interview. Her personality and her style is dope to me. She looks amazing literally. I'mma start listening to her albums when I get the chance.

[sentosaco]

Back in the day when Ellen was still Ellen and Britney was still Britney.

[tantobieroo]

She’s too sweet for that awful industry

[noname-ea]

She was so precious ... literally. And her beauty was so pure and so special. It is a travesty what they did to her!

[LukeMattson_]

Britney is the ultimate celebrity. Ain’t nobody will ever be as iconic as her ever.

[Niilleeyy]

Britney Spears is one of the greatest performers of all time

[siamesedreamsx]

She is soooo beyond cute here 💖

I remember this era like it was yesterday. So eerie. I was only 10, and always wished I could look like Britney/was envious of my cousin who had a strong resemblance to her

Never would I ever have guessed her life would end up the way it has. I hope she can find true peace and love.

[Ellejano]

The world was robbed of watching her develop past her 20s. I think she was stuck wanting the simple life after she had all that fame in her youth but at some point realized she could never go back to being just simple Brittany vs Brittany the star...God love her...she was too sweet for that industry and it ate her alive

[Luka-frqn]

She’s literally flawless in this interview

[ssaandyyss]

Britney has such a pure soul, a real angel on earth and everyone took advantage of her. Love you Britney! ♥

[andrewtweedy]

Welp, I’m sobbing happy tears on a Thursday afternoon. Britney is a treasure and seeing her happy is absolutely cathartic. She’s been through way too much and I wish nothing but the best for her to be this kind of happy again.
