Jamie Lynn Spears has revealed that Britney may have been better suited to country music because of her Louisiana background. 

She told Entertainment Tonight that, instead, her older sister was inspired by Madonna and wanted to pursue a career in pop just like her:

"We were from this little town in the middle of nowhere. She (Britney) says, 'Hey, I want to go do what Madonna does. I want to go do this... What is this girl from Louisiana going to do up there with all these other pop stars? It would have made a bunch more sense from our small town of Louisiana for Britney to do country."

Jamie Lynn also told ET that Britney is doing better than ever, adding: "My sister is in a badass place right now. I think we need to focus on what an amazing place everyone is in, especially her. She's kicking ass right now!"
