Everything was going great in his world. He was at the top of his game in every way, and he had a lot of swagger. I was having a panic attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Britney says she &#8220;hated the way I looked&#8221; &#8230; because &#8220;It was less than a year since I&#8217;d had my second baby in two years but everyone was acting like my not having six-pack abs was offensive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Britney admits she hadn&#8217;t rehearsed enough and knew the performance &#8220;was going to be bad.&#8221; She says &#8220;nothing was going right&#8221; backstage &#8230; claiming there were problems with her costume and hair extensions. She says she didn&#8217;t sleep the night before, and was feeling dizzy.<\/p>\n<p>Britney continued &#8230; &#8220;I couldn\u2019t believe I was going to have to go out onstage feeling the way I felt.&#8221; She says she went out and tried her best, admitting it wasn&#8217;t up to par for her.<\/p>\n<p>She added &#8230; &#8220;I could see myself on video throughout the auditorium while I performed; it was like looking at myself in a fun-house mirror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/47\/4by3\/2023\/10\/24\/4780b5776cda41b6a6cfd482df7b60f6_md.jpg\"          loading=\"lazy\"          alt=\"justin timberlake\"        ><\/p>\n<p>JT, on the other hand, was on the other end of the spectrum in Britney&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>She says, &#8220;Justin glided down the runway.
