Britney Spears’ latest album, “Circus,” drops Tuesday, her 27th birthday. From her early Mouseketeer days to her current run as comeback queen, Spears has packed a lot of awesome moments into her 27 years. She’s also said “Oops” a lot. Take a look:
1993-94: A cute Britney is a member of “The New Mickey Mouse Club.”
