At this point, there’s a certain degree of unreality that surrounds basically any new piece of information about Britney Spears. The sheer amount of strangeness that permeates her life—the massive celebrity, the intense media focus, and especially the terms of her day-to-day existence within a legal conservatorship she’s now been living under for more than a decade—makes even seemingly normal statements feel rife with oddity.
