Britney Spears Admits She Spends Her Free Time Watching ‘Friends’

Pop star Britney Spears is more relatable than ever!

Many fans have been wondering how she spends her free time after watching her dancing videos on Instagram. Fortunately, it looks like Britney leads a pretty normal life outside of being one of the world’s biggest pop stars!

Ever since her 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021, fans have been wondering how the pop star spends her time. In an interview with People magazine ahead of her memoir release next Tuesday, she told the magazine that she is a “simple girl” who likes to spend her free time playing with her dogs and watching “Friends.”

“I really love people. I love God, I still love my family and close friends, I love tea parties and dinner parties. My friend Cade [Hudson] has me to dinner where I meet the most creative people I admire who make me belly laugh,” she said, referring to her longtime manager.

Britney explained that she is still “learning this new freedom” and confessed that it can be “challenging at times” to learn her limits. That being said, she likes to spend her free time  “playing with my dogs [or] watching episodes of Friends and belly laughing.”

“I love, love to travel and explore. When I was touring, I would be in a city for one day then on to the next. Experiencing cultures in the cities I visit,” she added, before expressing gratitude for her “amazing friends.”

Looking ahead, the "Piece Of Me" singer says that she tries to take things “one day at a time” and is “learning to breathe.” She went on to say that self-love is “so unbelievably important” to her as she continues her healing journey.

“I woke up and just cried because I felt grateful to be in such a beautiful place,” Britney wrote in a recent Instagram post, as per the outlet. “Then I thought about my relationship to Instagram at the moment … it's addicting!!! But when others’ opinions affect you, that's when people quit it.”

Unfortunately, the Princess of Pop did not get to explore much during her conservatorship, which lasted from February 2008 to November 2021. During that time, her personal and financial affairs were largely controlled by her father, Jamie Spears. During that time, Britney said that she became a “robot” in an excerpt from “The Woman In Me” released by People magazine on Tuesday.

“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” she wrote in her memoir. “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”

She said that she felt “a shadow of herself” while she tried to navigate being a teenager and a woman at the same time.

“This is what’s hard to explain, how quickly I could vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they had robbed me of my freedom. There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn’t treat me like an adult, so I would regress and act like a little girl; but then my adult self would step back in — only my world didn’t allow me to be an adult,” she wrote.

“The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time. I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human. They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible,” she continued, adding, “It was death to my creativity as an artist.”

Britney Spears' memoir "The Woman In Me" is scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
