How Britney Spears made the ultimate comeback from her infamous career collapse in 2008

Following days of odd behavior in the spotlight - including reckless driving, shaving her own head, and attacking paparazzi with an umbrella - Spears was admitted to UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric hospital in January 2008.
While Spears was in the hospital, her father, Jamie, was granted a "temporary conservatorship" that allowed him to control her treatment and daily life. The legal judgement stabilized Spears' career at the time, and it still controls her personal life and finances to this day.
Since 2008, however, Spears has signed a lucrative Las Vegas performance contract and released three albums to varying degrees of success.
On Friday, Spears will release her ninth LP, "Glory," which many are deeming yet another comeback for the singer, following the relative failure of 2013's "Britney Jean," which was the lowest-selling album of her career.
The story of Britney Spears is, essentially, a series of comebacks.
