Britney Spears is in tiny shorts and doing none of the work as boyfriend Sam Asghari lugs her uphill in the L.A. heat. The 39-year-old pop princess, currently fronting media outlets as The New York Times' "Framing Britney Spears" documentary chronicles her life, has been steadily ignoring the media frenzy centering around the series, with last night bringing yet another example. The "Toxic" singer was out on a hike, Sam was doing the heavy lifting, and the Grammy winner was making him sweat. Check it out below.

Scroll for the video. It comes as Asghari, whom Spears began dating in 2016, makes headlines for backing her amid the docu drama, one now seeing Britney's 28.2 million Instagram followers trying to unscramble secret codes in her Scrabble game.
Seemingly done with her Scrabble and out to enjoy the California sunshine, the iconic singer updated with a hilarious video on Thursday. She posted during a long hike while getting carried around, with poor Sam seen "now" and "1hr later" as nothing seemed to have changed.

Britney, all legs in her teeny-tiny shorts, a t-shirt, and shades, bumped around on her boyfriend's back, with personal trainer Sam seen sweating it out, but not complaining. The Iranian, showing his rippling muscles in a blue Nike tank and shorts, got shouted out in a caption, one reading:
"Man it’s so much fun out here !!!!! Especially when you don’t have to do ANYTHING AT ALL ????? !!!!! @samasghari"
He's since been told he's carrying "the music industry" on his back. See more photos after the video!

Britney, who has not addressed the documentary, now sees a mass celebrity backing amid the explosion of the #FreeBritney movement, including her 29-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears and boyfriend Sam. Asghari recently backed his girlfriend, telling People:
"I have always wanted nothing but the best for my better half, and will continue to support her following her dreams and creating the future she wants and deserves." The two met in 2016 on a music video set and the rest is history. See her bikini body below!

Sam added: "I am thankful for all of the love and support she is receiving from her fans all over the world, and I am looking forward to a normal, amazing future together."
Britney has since updated with a good old joke about the ice-cream diet she's been trying, admitting that she couldn't stick to it and switched between chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. The singer is also fresh from a legendary L.A. home dance session. See her teeny-tiny shorts dance below!
