In the interview with Lauer, Spears commented on pictures taken of her driving with her baby on her lap, the New York Daily News reported Monday.

"I can't go anywhere without someone judging me... I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive. We're country," Spears said.

She added that she is still very much in love with her husband, Kevin Federline. She said doesn't know if people are rooting against their marriage but says "If they are that's sad."

Spears tells Lauer that photographers have "crossed the line a little bit" by showing her in private moments.

"I feel like I'm a target," she said, adding "I know I'm a good mom."
