Sydney Sweeney is one of the biggest actors of the moment. Her stardom has led to her being a constant headline grabber, whether for her public profile or personal life. Sweeney has proved her versatility as an actress, especially with her knack for playing complex, emotionally charged roles. Naturally, when news broke about the Britney Spears biopic in the works, fans quickly rallied to crown Sweeney as the top pick for the role.

While Sydney Sweeney’s star power and blonde locks make her an obvious preferred pick for the role, it is her acting talent that has placed the Euphoria star at the center of all the fan-casting ideas for major and minor parts in Britney Spears’ biopic. The upcoming biopic with Universal Pictures will be an adaptation of Spears’ 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, and will explore the life of the superstar and her troubled journey in the industry.

Sydney Sweeney is known for her mastery in taking on difficult and potentially draining parts. However, her singing abilities do not get as much spotlight. The actress sang 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield with Glen Powell at the People’s Choice Awards and was also seen playing the piano and singing in a viral video that blew up earlier this month, proving how well the star can sing.

While Sweeney may still be not as skilled a singer as Spears, fans believe that this can be compensated for by her acting skills.

Fans Push for Sydney Sweeney to Play Britney Spears

Out of all the other potential candidates for Britney Spears’ biopic, Sydney Sweeney seems to be less musically inclined, along with Millie Bobby Brown. However, the Anyone But You actress has been a part of some musical endeavors, including Rolling Stone’s ‘Angry’ music video, which was released last year. Nonetheless, fans are convinced that Sweeney as Spears would be a dream casting for the role and could even be Oscar-worthy.

Fans argue that there is no one better suited to play the then-teen sensation Britney Spears than Sydney Sweeney.
