06. Britney Spears - 'Circus'

Snappt! Podcast - A Pop Music Deep-Dive

Dim the lights, grab your popcorn and head to the centre of the ring this week as hosts Pete and Paul put on a show and dive into Britney Spears’ sixth studio album ‘Circus,’ featuring the Princess of Pop’s brave declaration that she has usurped the Queen.

We chronicle Britney’s return to the public eye following the release of Blackout and the beginning of her conservatorship, the ‘Toxic 2.0.’ energy of first single Womaniser, the concept of the album ‘Circus’ being about, you know... a circus, the spelling bee inspired If You Seek Amy and the resurgence of Radar. We even throw some shade to the rat that is James Corden, and we’re not just talking about his role in Cinderella.

We rebrand Snappt! And Floppt! to Snappt! And Skippt!, talk about Britney singing about tiny hands (yes that’s true), inventing phone sex and shooting her own Death Star to destroy paparazzi sperm in the Kill the Lights music video before hosting this week’s Snappies! We get masc for mask for the Ugliest Merch, roll around on some balls for Best Live Performance and take up swinging with the Best Lewk.

Wrapping it all up, we place ‘Circus’ within Spears’ career, take you on an international adventure for the Circus Tour: Starring Britney Spears including opening guests Nicole Scherzinger—erm, I mean, the Pussycat Dolls, the death of Perez Hilton and the Framing Britney Spears documentary that shed light on the conditions that Britney was having to face in light of her conservatorship. We hope you enjoy the show.
