Britney Spears on lip-syncing accusations
When footage from a concert in Tokyo showed Spears' microphone accidentally getting tangled in her hair, accusations were raised that she was lip-syncing live, Rolling Stone reports. Her voice could still be heard as she struggled to untangle the microphone.

Yet after having surgery, "she regretted the implants, particularly because her chest was still growing," a friend claimed. "When her natural breasts became larger, she had the implants removed."

What's going on in Britney Spears' life?
After experiencing a mental health crisis, mom-of-two Spears was put under a tight conservatorship in 2008. Her father Jamie took charge of her financial and medical care at that time. In September 2021, Jamie Spears, 70, was removed from his daughter's conservatorship after receiving a great deal of criticism. It was later terminated as a result of a campaign from her horde of admirers in the "Free Britney" movement, as per Page Six.
According to recent reports, Spears' loved ones seem to be worried about her well-being since she regained her independence in 2021 after being released from a nearly 14-year court conservatorship. According to TMZ, Spears has been battling challenges with her mental wellness and substance usage.
