Oh baby, baby. Lifetime has released the first trailer for their unauthorized Britney Spears biopic. Key word: Unauthorized.

Britney Ever After will premiere on February 18. British actress Natasha Bassett puts on her best Southern accent to play the troubled pop star as she struggles with fame and toxic relationships.

“I’m not going to say I was fun, because I wasn’t,” Basset says, narrating reenactments of The Haircut and Spears' wedding to Kevin Federline. “Everything’s just kind of this blur, you know? Until you hit rock bottom.”
