I mean she didn't lie, though I'd say another contributing factor was that half the planet can't stand her.
What's really something is how she's suddenly retreating to being a "featured artist" when her team yanked all of the PG artwork that listed her as such and had it changed to make it a shared lead credit instead. This girl was so desperate to get that third hit as a main artist but is ready to jump ship now that Britney couldn't take it into the top ten.
