While the caption and pictures show the artist clearly having fun, a few users felt worried about her, with some saying that she looks “broken” in the images.
One person put in their two cents on the music industry
“This is very sad to me. I see someone stuck in the period of time where she was emotionally broken. She hasn’t matured from the early 2000’s,” one person wrote.
They added, “While many of her contemporaries in the industry have been able to grow up and mature in their lives and career, she appears to be exactly where she maturity wise when she became some broken.”
They believe people have ‘failed’ the singer
The user went on to say, “It seems like everyone has failed her. No one’s love for her was bigger than what they could get from her. I feel like she was broken by the people who loved her and the money making machine of entertainment industry.”
Another user believed she ‘used to be happier’
“It’s sad to see her such a hotmess. She used to be so much happier, so it seemed. Now she just seems sad and starving for attention. Praying for her mental health,” another person online wrote.
A third person chimed in with what they believe could help her
Another netizen chimed in with what they believe could help the pop star be happier, “She needs that ‘madea type of auntie’ (you know the one who will not take any BS) to come to her home, smack the phone out of her hand throw her in the shower. Toss out her wardrobe. Tell her to throw some decent clothes on for a while, step out of the media and just live for herself for a bit.”
Another user said something similar
One person had a similar sentiment, writing, “I legit feel bad for Britney like she’s lived her whole life almost being others version of her and now it’s like she’s conditioned to believe this is all she is a s*x object to flaunt her body all day everyday.”
They added, “Yes it’s beautiful she is beautiful but she has so much more purpose to her than just doing this. It’s vain and not fulfilling her life in anyway [sic].”
Others came to Spears’ defense
While some people seemed upset at the pop star’s social media posts, others came to her defense, saying people have no right to jump to conclusions about her life.
“And everybodys still over here so mad about Britney and shes over there living how she wants, not knowing any of us even exist, dancing how she wants,” one person wrote.
Another user found that people were being judgmental
“Yall all so judgmental but she ain’t hurting nobody. Let her do whatever makes her happy. If she likes posting stuff and doesn’t care what people think then whatever man. Doesn’t impact your day,” one person wrote.
One person encouraged people to give her space
“She’s living her life leave her be!” another person encouraged.
“People are so hard on her but yet you see all these young woman [sic] looking like they belong on a corner doing it and no one is on them! Don’t like what she’s doing don’t watch! Get it girl!” they added.
The caption most likely referred to her biopic
As reported by the New York TImes, the pop star’s Instagram caption was likely a reference to the casting of her upcoming biopic, based on her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me.
The movie was announced in April 2024 and is currently being produced by Marc Platt and Wicked director John M. Chu.
