Britney Spears Hints At Career News That’s Sure To Upset Fans

Don’t hold your breath for a live rendition of “Hold Me Closer” anytime soon. In a since-deleted September 11 Instagram post (via TMZ), Britney Spears revealed to followers that, despite the success of her recent collab with Elton John, she is unlikely to perform onstage again. Venting about the lack of creative control under her 13-year-conservatorship, Spears proclaimed that the experience left her “pretty traumatized for life.” Citing the “offensive SO CALLED professional pictures on every tour,” the “Toxic” singer seemed to feel her team, including her then-co-conservator, dad Jamie Spears, were insensitive toward her body image when managing tour photoshoots. “I mean they could have at least cheated and retouched them for me,” Spears quipped. All in all, although she vowed to “stay positive and focus on my awesome fans,” Spears declared that she “won’t probably perform again just because I’m stubborn and I will make my point.” 

Spears’ post also included a direct message to father Jamie to kiss her “God damn mother f***ing ass.” The angry missive, sadly, is of little shock to anyone following the singer’s ongoing familial drama. Her announcement about performing follows a series of heartbreaking Instagram audio messages concerning sons Sean and Jayden Federline (via Billboard). Posted on September 10, Spears said in one of the clips that their estrangement has left her with “no purpose” and feeling “like a huge part of me has died.”
