BRITNEY Spears landed the “biggest book deal of all time” with a $15million payday as she “plans to set the record straight” about her conservatorship.
The Sun exclusively revealed the 40-year-old singer’s plans to write a tell-all book last month.
Britney has officially sealed a bombshell book deal that is believed to be worth up to $15 million.
Publishing insiders told Page Six that the singer has reached a historic deal with Simon & Schuster.
The tell-all memoir will give insight into Britney's career, her personal life and her family drama.
The deal with the publishing house followed a bidding war from multiple publishers over her book.
One insider told the outlet that Britney's “deal is one of the biggest of all time, behind the Obamas."
Back in 2017, Barack and Michelle Obama secured a landmark deal when they were given a $60million advance to write a book for Penguin Random House.

BRITNEY'S SIDE
Last month, The Sun exclusively revealed Britney's plans to pen her own memoir to counter the "derogatory" claims made in her younger sister Jamie Lynn's new book.
In Jamie Lynn's scathing new book, Things I Should Have Said, she makes a series of shocking allegations about the Toxic singer.
In one chapter, the 30-year-old claimed Britney took a knife and locked them both in a room when the pop star's sibling was just 12.
Jamie Lynn's book sparked a war of words between the once close sisters, as Britney slammed Jamie Lynn for "profiting" off of her career.
The singer even said she "should've slapped" her younger sister and her mom, Lynne, "across their f***ing faces" in a rant following the memoir's release.
Shortly after Jamie Lynn released her book, a source told The Sun that Britney reached a "boiling point" over her sister's "lies" and is considering several multi-million dollar offers from major publishers to write her own "version of events."
The initial reports of Britney's memoir came after The Sun revealed the singer is also in talks with Oprah Winfrey to do a tell all interview.
"Britney is absolutely ready to explode, she's livid at the way Jamie Lynn has represented a version of their relationship that doesn't resemble the truth," the source said.
"For six months she has mulled over telling her version of how her life has played out with her family. If anyone is going to set the record straight it should be her."
FAMILY DRAMA
The Grammy winner was freed from her 13-year conservatorship run by dad Jaime back in November.
However, her relationship with her family remains strained following years of alleged “abuse.”
Britney's lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, is said to be "open" to his client speaking out publicly following the conservatorship victory.
The source told The Sun at the time that Britney had received numerous offers from different publishers.
TAKING CONTROL
"One upside about writing a book is that Britney has total control over every word," the source said.
"There would be no doubt about her inference and no concern about a conversational line being taken out of context.
"The offers are there and Britney believes there will be a time to tell her story, especially given her mother and sister have done that to her."
The source added: "Publicly the official stance is that Britney is considering an interview, but she has not committed to anything yet.
"She will need to be in a strong mental space to go that far."
The informant said Britney's fiancé Sam Asghari has been her biggest champion when it comes to winning back her independence.
The Toxic singer has also been comforted by the support of her fans.
However, the source added that Jamie Lynn's book "lit a fire" under Britney.
