A History of Britney Spears's Iconic MTV VMAs Moments

2007, known to many Britney fans (including this one) as The Year We Do Not Speak Of, was undoubtedly a tough one. Britney infamously shaved her head before entering a treatment facility and lost physical custody of her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, from her marriage to Kevin Federline. In September, her VMAs performance of "Gimme More" was slammed by critics, though the song rocketed to success and her album Blackout was released to positive reviews the following month. Her second single from the album, "Piece of Me," also topped Billboard charts.
