Britney Spears straight-up set Instagram ablaze today. The 38-year-old pop icon took to the platform with a sun-drenched, scantily-clad balcony dance from her California quarantine location – Instagram didn't need to figure out that the song was ex Justin Timberlake's as the "Toxic" singer gave a shout-out to her former boyfriend in her caption.
Adorably for many, the blonde also stated that this was her "version" of Snapchat "or TikTok or whatever you're supposed to do these days." Whatever Britney was doing, she was doing it right, though, with Instagram going fully wild.

Britney's video (seen below) showed her in pure fire mode. The mom of two had been filmed working her super-fit, ripped body to Justin Timberlake's "Filthy" – no two ways about it, Britney was looking like a bombshell.
Super-tiny white shorts showing off the singer's sexy hips and taut abs came paired with a strapless white crop top with puff sleeves – also flashing her red bra and wearing her signature blonde hair in a ponytail, Britney delivered her sex appeal to the max.

The video quickly brought in a comment from Iranian personal trainer boyfriend Sam Asghari.
"Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, even MySpace was inspired by you," he wrote.
As to Britney's 23.9 million followers, they went fully wild.
"Unbelievable! I love you deeeeeeaaaaadddddd," one fan wrote.
"BRITNEY TALKING ABOUT JUSTIN????? WHAT????" was another comment.
"Queen of taking pity in failing artists" was a more hurtful comment mentioning the 39-year-old singer who has, himself, made headlines for relationship reasons of late with wife Jessica Biel.
Some comments did come in asking if Britney was doing okay – the singer's social media has sparked mental health concerns this year.
