Britney Spears on Haters: ‘I Don’t Care What Most People Think'

Pop star Britney Spears takes V magazine's 100th cover, her second for the magazine.

Britney's career took off in the late '90s, just before the digital revolution. On the topic of technology, Britney said in the issue, "Honestly, I still don't use my computer. My kids use the computer more than I do! I understand that a lot of people are into it, and I have days where I write and stuff, but it's really not for me. It's not my thing.”

With the advances in technology and the rise of social media, many stars are facing online haters, who criticize their every move. Britney said, "Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who've experienced that. You know, Justin Bieber, he's huge, and he experiences that. It's just the way the world works, unfortunately. I've been doing this for 20 years. I kind of don't pay attention to it. I have my relationship with God and myself and that's what matters to me. I really don't care what most people think.”

Spears also dished on her upcoming ninth studio album. She shared, "Honestly, I'm just particular with this record. It's my baby, and so I really want it done right. I would much rather have it be completely how I want it to be, whether that takes another year for me to do, or two months. I have no idea at this point. But I just know that the direction I'm going in is so good. It's the best thing I've done in a long time. I'm proud of the work, and it's very different; it's not what you would think at all. But I'm not rushing anything. I just want it to be done right, so that my fans will truly appreciate it.”
