Britney Spears biopic: Which A-list lady should play the iconic pop star?
Los Angeles, California - The clock has started counting down until the anticipated Britney Spears biopic is due to hit theaters, and here's who we think would slay the pop star in the movie!
![Britney Spears' fandom has sounded off on potential stars to play the pop icon in the movie based on her memoir.](https://media.tag24.de/951x634/3/3/332bsxyo03opfom7hpe8n4gpyj199rqj.jpg)
Once news broke that a film adaptation for the Toxic hitmaker's memoir The Woman in Me landed at Universal Studios, the online search for who should play Britney began.
While some fans feel that a newcomer should be given the honor, others argue that a veteran actor deserves the role.
There are already a few contenders circulating the net that fans think should be given serious consideration, as this is a vital moment for all the '90s babies.
Scream and shout if you agree that one of these famous ladies would do a great job as Britney in the upcoming movie!
Emma Roberts

Britney's longtime friend and assistant has handpicked Emma Roberts for the role, so she's definitely a potential choice!
The 33-year-old American Horror Story star is a singer as well as a top-notch actor with multiple roles under her belt in films and on TV.
Don't forget her infamous role on the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous where she played a young aspiring singer/songwriter going through the trials and tribulations of high school life.
That being said, her acting abilities are generally lauded significantly higher than her skills as a singer.
Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter is another big name that's been floating around Reddit and X by fans.
The Girl Meets World star is another former child actor who's since had several mega-viral pop hits such as Espresso and Please Please Please.
Plus whoever takes on this role, which could be an Oscar contender, will HAVE to be a dancer – making Sabrina another obvious option.
She's also considered a rising star, which effectively makes her a newbie who could satisfy fans who want a fresh face in the role.
Just a thought!
Taylor Swift
![Taylor Swift's global fame makes her relatable to the Gimme more singer, who's ground-breaking impact on pop culture is still felt to this day.](https://media.tag24.de/951x634/4/0/40fgtnmb4wgs1fjbza1i4c5q1b24vw1z.jpg)
One could argue that the biopic could be Taylor Swift's Lady Gaga moment!
The Tortured Poets Department artist and Grammy winner is another pop star in her own right.
T-Swift is also a prime candidate due to her uncanny similarities to the Gimme More performer, who has lauded Taylor's success in the past.
Both singers are global sensations with ground-breaking hit records and multiple sold-out tours.
It's no secret that Britney and Taylor have two of the largest and most devoted fandoms out there!
If anyone could relate to the "lucky" life of a pop icon, it would be the one who told everyone to shake it off.
What do you think – who's your top pick to play Britney Spears in her much-anticipated biopic film?
