'It makes you feel pretty!' Britney Spears shares her love for Snapchat after posting a string of selfies... as first trailer for controversial new Lifetime biopic airs
She may well be late to the party, but Britney Spears admits she has a very good reason for embracing Snapchat after sharing dozens of new images with fans.
The American singer, 35, has been peppering her social media accounts with numerous filtered snaps in the weeks following her introduction to the increasingly popular app a week ago.
And she reveals she’s quickly become obsessed after sons Sean Preston, 11, and ten-year old Jayden James taught her how to overlay images with playful animated effects.

Britney's latest tweet comes shortly after the first trailer for a divisive new biopic charting the singer's rise to prominence aired in the United States.
The upcoming Lifetime biopic focuses on Britney's rise to fame as well as her personal struggles and her very public meltdown in 2007 when she shaved her hair off.
The event plays out - with actress Natasha Bassett playing Britney - amid a montage of scenes of the pop icon's life in the spotlight in the clip released on Monday.

'I'm not going to say I was fine 'cuz I wasn’t,' Bassett's Britney says in the clip in the singer's southern drawl.
The star switches on electric clippers and places them to her head as she shaves off her dark locks.

Late last year the singer's representative told DailyMail.com that the singer 'will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic nor does it have her blessing.'
The two-hour movie will span the singer's early career as a young girl in Louisiana to her high-profile relationships with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline.
Britney Ever After airs on Lifetime on February 18.
