So, Britney's Toxic. The first time I heard it, I was quite amazed by the catchyness of the song.
The lyrics are very interesting too! 

I wanted to show the rhythm in such a way that you understand how to play it. The song consists 
mostly strummed chords in a rhythmic way. I have arranged the string melody, along with the
part what I would call the Bridge (where Britney screams).

d = downstroke
u = upstroke

Pay attention to the downstroke and upstrokes. You would most definitely hear the difference
when you don't hit the rhythms in the correct strokes. It doesn't sound 'correct'.

If you listen closely, you hear (What I think is) a guitar playing something, which I think sounds like
this (every second and fourth beat when the strings play):
