Britney Spears made her return to Instagram on Friday by posting an “awkward” video of her eating cake off the ground and angering her 41 million followers.
After deactivating her account on Tuesday, which she has done several times before, the 41-year-old said she “accidentally pressed [the] wrong button.”
“Yeah, it’s my birthday all week and I know my Instagram has gone down a few times, but honestly, I did it myself the last two times!” the singer captioned the bizarre video.
The Grammy-winning singer went on to say that her “goals” this year are to become more “comfortable” with people, crash a wedding and “sing a song or two.”
“This is my first year in 15 years being treated as an equal and good God! I didn’t know about this NO RULES thing! Pssss this video is so blurry sorry 🤷🏼♀️ !!! Is it a bit awkward or weird to watch? DUH 🙄 that’s the point 💄💄💄!!!”
In the clip set to Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby,” the “Toxic” singer celebrated her birthday by drinking a bottle of champagne on her living room floor decorated with balloons and rose petals.
At one point, the singer, who was wearing a red catsuit, stood up to dance to the music before turning off the camera.
Following the bold move, Spears stuck her head into her birthday cake, covering her entire face in frosting.
The “weird” video comes just a day after Spears’ husband Sam Asghari took to his Instagram Stories to address the singer’s social media hiatus.
“Social media can be traumatizing,” the 28-year-old wrote in a text post. “Sometimes it’s good to take a break.”
The actor continued, “She has her voice and she is a free woman. I respect her privacy and protect her at all times. Thanks to all the fans of her protectors of her ”.
Before deleting her social media for a few days, the “Gimme More” singer posted a surprising tribute to her “inspirational” sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who she’s been feuding with for years.
“Congratulations on being so brave, inspiring and showing guts and glory on your show!” she wrote on Instagram. “You’re not alone…if anyone knows what it feels like…I understand. My little sister!!! Love you !!!”
The post shocked her followers as the estranged sisters had a falling out after Britney’s conservatorship ended in November 2021.
Britney has since criticized her sister, along with her father Jamie, mother Lynne and brother Bryan Spears, for keeping her in such an “abusive” legal arrangement.
