On July 22, 2019, after a rough year where she was sent to a mental facility after the Domination residency was cancelled and her career put on hiatus, and after appearing on court to speak to the judge in May regarding her conservatorship, in a surprising turn of events, Britney Spears attended the premiere of the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in Los Angeles, along with boyfriend Sam Asghari.
In her first public appearance in months, she walked the red carpet without giving any interviews, and wouldn't be seen again in another public event that year until September at the Daytime Beauty Awards.
