Britney Spears Returns to Instagram With Cryptic Post

If you seek Britney Spears, look no further than her social media channels.

After briefly deleting her Instagram account, the “Me Against the Music” singer returned to the platform Nov. 7 with a message about protecting her peace.

“So much has happened this year, it’s crazy …,” she wrote in a post on Instagram Nov. 7. “Get your ballerina [slippers], circle, and own your boundaries. It’s incredibly strict and somewhat of a form of prayer but with so many endless possibilities in life, it’s important to do you and keep it simple.”

Prior to deactivating her account, Britney, 43, reflected on a difficult period in her life, describing a “traumatic” stay in rehab towards the end of her 13-year conservatorship. (She also chronicled the ordeal in her 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me.)

“For 4 months I no longer had my private door and illegally was forced to not use my feet or body to go anywhere,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post Oct. 19, per People. “I do feel the logic and mindfulness in my body as ONE was 100 percent murdered and destroyed… I do feel like my wings were taken away and brain damage happened to me a long time ago 100 percent.”

E! News reached out to Britney’s rep for comment at the time.

Days earlier, the Grammy winner’s ex-husband Kevin Federline—with whom she shares sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19—publicly shared his concerns about her “situation” while promoting his memoir You Thought You Knew, in which he also detailed the boys’ strained relationship with their mom.

But ahead of the book’s release, Britney issued a statement saying Kevin’s “constant gaslighting” was “extremely hurtful and exhausting” to her.

“I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys,” she wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Oct. 15. “Relationships with teenage boys is complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life.”

Describing her ex’s memoir as “white lies,” Britney continued, “I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here.”

“I speak on this because I have had enough,” she added, “and any real woman would do the same.”
