On February 7, 2007, Britney Spears stunned the world 

when she shaved her long, flowing hair bald at a barbershop in Tarzana, California. 

This action caused a wave of controversy, with many people claiming that it was a sign of Spears’s mental breakdown.

Five years later, in an interview with People magazine, tattoo artist Keith McCurdy, who has tattooed Spears for many years, revealed the real reason behind her actions. 

McCurdy said Spears had been going through a difficult period in her life, 

including a failed marriage to Kevin Federline, a custody battle and the close supervision of her father, Jamie Spears.

McCurdy said Spears went to his tattoo shop to have a rose tattooed on her wrist. 

However, when she saw her image in the mirror, she began to cry. “She said, ‘I can’t do this anymore,'” McCurdy recalls. “‘I can not take it anymore’.”

Spears then asked McCurdy to take her to a nearby barber shop. There, she shaved her hair bald in front of a group of paparazzi and dozens of cameras.

“She was devastated,” McCurdy said. “She lost everything.”
