Britney Spears just turned 43—or did she? In her latest Instagram escapade, the pop star declared she’s actually 5 years old and heading to kindergarten. Oh, and she’s also moving to Mexico.
If you’re scratching your head, you’re not alone.
A Birthday Announcement Like No Other
On her birthday, Britney’s Instagram video took a surreal turn. She miscalculated her age, saying she turned 42 instead of 43, then dropped the bombshell about her supposed move to Mexico. Why? The paparazzi are “cruel,” according to Spears, who blamed them for the way she’s been portrayed.
Her dramatic announcement came as she was photographed boarding a private jet in Los Angeles, wearing a white trench coat, fedora, and sunglasses—grill lighter in hand, of course. Fans are equal parts amused and alarmed by the spectacle.
What’s Going On with Britney?
The video, while unconventional, comes amid a rough patch for the singer. Britney recently finalized her divorce from Sam Asghari and has faced public scrutiny over her mental health since her conservatorship ended in 2021.
Whether this is a quirky way of coping or something more concerning, fans can’t help but wonder: what’s next in the saga of Britney Spears?
