What a difference a year makes! Especially for Britney Spears.

Britney Spears has given what could be the performance of her life over the past 12 months, going from the queen of tabloid fodder to regaining her throne as the princess of pop. Now, Spears tells her story to ‘Glamour’ in the upcoming January issue which hits newsstands this week.

Spears, who turns 27 on December 2nd, began the year being carried from her home on a stretcher on January 3 and taken to Cedars-Sinai for psychiatric evaluation. This came after a very public meltdown in 2007 in which she shaved her head, twice entered rehab, and attempted an embarrassing performance on the MTV’s Video Music Awards in which she looked dazed and disoriented while lip-syncing what appeared to be the wrong words to her own song.

This year, after her infamous stay at the hospital and another follow up stay a few weeks later, Britney, by all accounts, has cleaned up her life. While in the hospital, Britney’s dad was granted the temporary conservator over her affairs. A few months later, a renewed Britney entered the recording studio and came out with her most critically acclaimed product in years.

The new album, “Circus” is being released on her birthday, but the album’s first release, “Womanizer”, has received generous radio airplay and brisk Internet downloads.
