On Wednesday (April 6), Britney Spears released her "Till the World Ends" video, a fun party clip that harkens back to the "Slave 4 U" era. While she might have come full-circle creatively, in the new issue of Us Weekly, the pop superstar admits she's not the girl she used to be.
"I'm at such a different point in my life now than I was back then," she said of recording Femme Fatale, which shot to the top of the charts in its first week. "I'm more mature and much more hands-on now. I know exactly what I like and what I don't like. I guess that can make the recording process pretty difficult, because I'm very particular about songs I put my voice on."
That perspective comes from years in the spotlight, as well as the responsibility of being a mom to her two sons, Jayden and Sean. "You have to think about all your decisions so much more carefully, because they are affecting your kids too," she said. "My priorities have changed, and I do everything for [the boys]. They remind me what life is really all about.
"They are my biggest fans. I make up songs and sing to them all the time," she continued. "They like to watch me dance. In fact, they join in and do their own moves!"
While her opening act is still in flux, Spears does know that both Jayden and Sean will be hitting the road with her for her Till the World Ends Tour. "They will be coming with me. I couldn't go on tour without them!" she said. "I'm always very busy when I'm on the road, but I make sure to have quality time with them every single day."
Another one of her big fans is boyfriend Jason Trawick, whom she says complements her perfectly. "We have such a great time together! He makes me laugh, and we are so comfortable being ourselves. We like to stay home, order in, watch movies, go to dinner with friends. And we love getting away for the weekend. Some of our favorite spots are Las Vegas, Hawaii or Mexico."
With two marriages already under her belt, would Spears get married again? "Maybe," she teased. "Never say never!"
