Jamie Lynn Spears Reveals Sister Britney Was ‘Heartbroken’ over Losing Out on Grammy to Christina Aguilera

Jamie Lynn said her sister’s “whole life had been dedicated” to winning a Grammy up until that point

Jamie Lynn Spears is opening up about her sister Britney Spears’ reaction to losing out on her first-ever Grammy. 

During the latest episode of the U.K. reality show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Jamie Lynn, 32, revealed that her older sibling, 41, was left “heartbroken” after being beaten to the best new artist award by Christina Aguilera during the 2000 Grammy Awards.

The Zoey 101 alum’s comments came as her fellow campmate, Made in Chelsea alum Sam Thompson, discussed losing out on a gong at the British Podcast Awards earlier this year. 

“Want to hear about something really embarrassing that happened one time?” Jamie Lynn asked her costars. “It involves my sister. She was up for her first Grammy. It was her and Christina [Aguilera].”

“Britney was clearly the bigger star of that year, she worked her ass off,” Jamie Lynn continued. “They had MTV camera crews at home watching our family, because it was like a no-brainer, she’s winning. And she’s there and she lost.”
