But during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the musician clarified that the part about her writing music was true — what wasn’t true, however, was the narrative that Spears had recorded any of them.

The singer-songwriter is gearing up for a big 2015.
Ryn Weaver is playing more than a handful of South By Southwest shows, but she's taking the party-going experience in moderation.
"I'm trying to have fun," the 22-year-old told ETonline just before her set at the YouTube space in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday. "I've been here once before but just as a fan, and you learn [that] you can't drink all day -- that's like, a part of it. So I'm still having fun, it's just getting to bed before 2 o'clock for me. If I'm up too late, I'm toast the next day."
