The 43-year-old singer, who recently reactivated her account after briefly deleting it, uploaded a video on Saturday showing her dancing to Adele’s Send My Love (To Your New Lover).
The post came just days after Spears was photographed leaving a Los Angeles wine bar looking disheveled, fueling renewed fears that the performer may be struggling. Family members have reportedly become increasingly alarmed over what they view as a “devastating spiral”.
In the clip, Spears wears a skimpy, animal-print bodysuit paired with black heels, her long blonde hair parted down the middle in natural waves. But it was the lengthy caption to her 42 million followers that drew the most attention.
“Haven’t found my party dress for this year,” she wrote. “Reflecting is good for the soul… Sometimes when hard things happen, good things come from it and we learn…” She continued, “I’ve learned that a real note of expression with emotion speaks volumes for us all!!”
She then spoke about holding onto childlike vulnerability. “Call it childish, silly, annoying… We grow up to become women but do you dare keep the most sensitive part of the soul and allow it to rebel… the child within must speak in the most vulnerable of times.”
