Even though she felt embarrassed, fans loved to see her enjoying her single life. “Our girl is living her best life,” one fan commented. “I’m so happy for her!” another follower exclaimed. “I’m loving this so much,” a third fan chimed in. “Love to see it,” another follower agreed. “I’m very happy for her. She is enjoying the time she lost in the past. GO BRITNEY!” another fan cheered.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Britney feels the same way, and it looks like she might be more hesitant to post more videos or photos from her vacation from here on out.

The pop star actually posted two videos of her dancing in her red dress on Tuesday night.

Although she didn’t write anything in the caption of one video, she did drop three snake emojis in the caption of another, possibly in reference to the lower back tattoo of a snake that she got recently.

It appears that the pop star might be trying to “own” the snake symbolism after her 2001 Video Music Awards performance of “I’m A Slave 4 U” when she dances with a snake.

Earlier on Wednesday night, she took to Instagram to share a clip of the performance and promote her upcoming memoir, “The Woman In Me.”

“One of my favorite performances was with an albino python ???? … I still remember how scared I felt when I was handed this snake and took the stage !!! I talked more about this performance and other favorites in my book #TheWomanInMe,” she wrote in the caption. “I can’t wait for you to read it on October 24th.”
