It’s been 20 years since ‘Crossroads’ came out and since the movie has found a special place in the heart of Britney Spears fans. The coming-of-age road trip tale stars Brit, who along with pals Kit (Zoe Saldana) and Mimi (Taryn Manning), hits the highway to find herself. The movie, which was written by ‘Scandal’ genius Shonda Rimes, didn’t fare well with critics but made an impressive mark at the box office due, earning $61million worldwide. Since, it’s become a cult classic with Britney fans.
Since the movie’s 2002 release, the stars have gone in many directions. Pop queen Britney’s musical career would continue to soar but she never appeared in a feature film again. (She has, however, enjoyed TV cameos on ‘Jane The Virgin’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother’.) The multi-platinum artist would go nearly non-stop recording and touring for the next decade-plus until 2018, after which reports of the star’s controlling conservatorship arrangement began to emerge. Under the conservatorship, Britney’s father and business manager were given authority to make personal decisions for the star controlling nearly all aspects of her life. After a public struggle with her father and countless pleas from the public, Britney’s conservatorship was terminated in Sep. 2021.
