Britney Spears Calls Red Bull The 'Worst Drink Ever' Amid Accusations Of Excessive Caffeine Use

Singer Britney Spears is finally breaking her silence amid allegations that she consumes too much caffeine and stays up for days at a time.

The 41-year-old pop star took to Instagram on Thursday afternoon to reveal that, while she's not really one for meditation anymore, she is starting to practice ballet.

The "Hold Me Closer" singer began her Instagram post with a quote that she got from @doyouremember_ig. The quote reads, "In every relationship there's the person who falls asleep instantly and the other person who lies awake wondering how that's even possible."

In the caption, Britney wrote, "I’m sharing because summer is around the corning [sic] and I’m sweating my toots off like there’s no tomorrow 😆 !!! Not really to get in shape but I like to sweat !!! I feel like I’ve accomplished something, you know ???"

In a previous Instagram post, Britney revealed that she had started working out again, even though she is definitely not a fan! That being said, fans of the singer know how much Britney loves to dance and she revealed that she's actually started taking up ballet.

"I’ve just started ballet 🩰 lessons and it’s really different … keeping my head held high is not always easy if your confidence level isn’t so high !!!" she explained. "I do small workouts because I don’t like long … I know the meditation in yoga is good but I’m sorry that I’m not that into it at the moment !!!"

Even though the "Toxic" singer was big into meditation the past few months, it looks like she's taking a break to try something new! However, something fans noticed that is not new on her Instagram page is many photos and videos of the pop star dancing or just standing in her backyard. Fortunately, Britney had an explanation for why she shares so much old footage.

"I’m reposting a lot of footage because it’s good to backtrack when a lot has happened and to look back and realize it makes sense now !!!" she wrote. "My mind gets busy and sometimes that can be an easy target to mess with 🙄 …. Anyways, I’m sticking to watermelon juice, which is the weirdest thing ever but I was told for years I can’t have coffee and now that I can it’s my pride … I can’t even look at it !!! And green tea 🍵 is my prized possession !!!"

Britney has often posted about how she was not allowed to consume coffee during her conservatorship, which lasted from February 2008 to November 2021. She then addressed the allegations of her "excessive" caffeine use that have been swirling around the Internet.

"You clever little turds 💩😂 … Sorry but I never stay up late with Red Bull !!! It is absolutely the worst drink ever … I make jewelry, candles and doll clothes … Okay, so what ???" she wrote. "I may be a loser but I do what makes me feel most alive and gives me interest but I don’t like people in media bullying me and saying hateful things … I’d like to check in on some of my fans !!! How are you guys doing ??? What’s going on in your lives ??? How are you feeling lately ??? What activities are you doing these days 🌷🌷🌷 ???"

On Wednesday, TMZ reported that the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer consumes caffeine drinks “by the gallon.” Insiders told the outlet that Britney consumes coffee, Red Bull, Celsius, and dandelion tea "almost nonstop." They also said that she has stayed awake for as long as three days from her excessive caffeine consumption.

The outlet claimed that experts say that this is “unsurprising for people with mental illnesses.” Dr. Drew told TMZ that although it’s not “particularly healthy” to be drinking so much caffeine, people “with mental illnesses crave the high from these drinks.”

TMZ has created a new special called “Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom” that will air on Monday, May 15, at 9 PM ET on Fox. This special will focus on the year and a half of Britney's life since she was freed from her controversial conservatorship.
