In recent months, Britney Spears has mostly engaged her followers in a new way, not by releasing a new record or a concert, but through endless dance videos on Instagram. These videos, which often feature the pop icon dancing energetically at home, have led to widespread speculation: recently, the question came to mind whether Britney Spears is preparing for a long-delayed comeback.

After her conservatorship ended in November 2021, Spears used her Instagram and Twitter accounts to communicate with her fans, share her opinions, and most recently perform as a dancer. Her Instagram account features videos of her dancing to various tunes, which is still a testament to her love of dance and music.

The dance videos are not your average social media updates, but rather glimpses into the life Britney is living now that she is free. Many fans see in such posts clues that the singer may be gearing up for a performance or new record in the near future, increasing their anticipation for new music or, at best, a tour. Of course, that’s not true, as her electrifying performances and artistic videos made her a superstar in the late ’90s.

While fans of her social media presence have a lot to look forward to, Britney has not yet confirmed her plans for a new career in music. However, she is back underwater and occasionally tries to record. The following year, in 2022, she released the song “Hold Me Closer” with Elton John, which became a huge worldwide hit and proved with his invulnerable voice that she is still relevant.

So returning to music is arguably a complex decision for Britney, as illustrated by the highlights discussed above. She has described in the past how the career and resulting fame have affected her mental state. Her Instagram videos suggest that she still dances to this day, but at the same time they all speak to her current life – a slow, complacent life.

While fans eagerly speculate about her next move, one thing is certain: Britney Spears is now free, and the joy her new dance videos are generating is quite encouraging. Whether it’s just a way to communicate with fans, or if she’s on her way to becoming a major pop star again, only the future can tell. But for now, Britney’s fans are happy that she’s dancing at all, and that’s victory in this case.
