Britney Spears Is Freed But The Confusing Instagram Videos Continue

For anyone who has followed the life and struggles of troubled pop star Britney Spears, they'd know things have finally swung in her favor. The 13-year-long conservatorship that her father Jamie Spears had over her is over and #FreeBritney is now #FreedBritney.

Her fans, friends, and many celebrities are celebrating the release, and Spears herself seems exultant. Yet, the same videos and Instagram posts that made her fans wonder if she was being directed to do it all continue, and it is now more confusing than ever.

On Friday, November 12, 2021, Britney's long-drawn battle to finally be free ended, in her favor. The court-ordered conservatorship has been put on her in 2008, after a series of recorded wild behavior beginning in 2007. Things like when she publically shaved her head or attacked a paparazzo's vehicle with an umbrella. she lost custody of her sons and finally her own life.

The conservatorship was supposed to be temporary, to help her get back on her feet. Instead, it turned into 13 long years, where Spears' career was no longer her own. But the #FreeBritney campaign has been gathering force for a while now and finally, the legal system ruled in her favor.

Enough for her to call it the "Best day ever", and show a video of fans celebrating her freedom.

Many celebrated her happy day, including Lady Gaga who tweeted, "I have loved @britneyspears her whole career. I looked up to her, admired her strength — she empowered so many people and still does. I couldn’t be happier for you today. You never deserved what happened, Thank God 4 today you’re a superstar and a super-human being."

Her longtime boyfriend, Sam Asghari, who vociferously fought for her and stood by her side also wrote on Instagram, "History was made today. Britney is Free! ❤️.”

So many other fans wrote of their love for her, and how her freedom was justice served but delayed. They were happy for her and celebrating with her as Britney wrote about and to them, "Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy 🥺❤️ !!! I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day!!"

For a long time, fans have been clamoring on social media that what Britney does on social media, the way she dances or records videos of her looking at a camera and shifting from one foot to another seems forced. And yet, now that she is free, the same videos continue. Like this...

Which is why a fan commented, "Britney is free but I still don't get these videos…"

Some sided with the Instagram user, saying, "I don't either 😳 but well... if she's happy, that's all that matters" while another said, "well, 8,000 others agree with you."

But there were many defending Britney as well. Said one Instagram reply, "You don’t need to get anything. Who cares that you don’t get it? Get a life..."

Another seemed gentler in their criticism, saying, "I get the impression she loves her outfits and enjoys keeping her body in shape and showing these things to her fans."

Probably why she posted this:

So it seems Britney has many defenders on social media too. And we hope she continues getting all the goodwill and gestures.
