NEED TO KNOW
Britney Spears returned to Instagram days after deactivating her account.
In a new post shared on Friday, Nov. 7, Spears, 43, wrote, “So much has happened this year, it’s crazy … I try to live within my means and the book, ‘Draw the Circle’ is an incredible perspective.”
In the post, the “Gimme More” singer wears a black and white lace bra paired with gray and black panties and black leather boots.
“Get your ballerina 🩰, circle, and own your boundaries. It’s incredibly strict and somewhat of a form of prayer but with so many endless possibilities in life, it’s important to do you and keep it simple,” Spears continued in the caption.
She concluded the post, “I know there is a confusing side too. The devil is in the details but we can get to that later 😳😂🤧.”

The “Circus” singer’s return to Instagram comes just five days after she deactivated her account. In recent weeks, she’d publicly taken issue with claims in her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir.
On Nov. 2, Spears’ Instagram account was no longer available to view, and an automated message stated her “profile may have been removed.”
In recent weeks, fans expressed concern after Spears posted dancing videos but opted to turn off comments on posts that had cryptic captions about her kids, Jayden James, 19, and Sean Preston, 20.

A video Spears shared to social media on Oct. 7 showed her with bruises on her arms and bandages wrapped around her hands and wrists. In the caption, Spears explained that she had fallen down stairs, and wrote about her two sons traveling back to Hawaii, where they reside with Federline, 47.
“My boys had to leave and go back to Maui,” she wrote, before opening up about why she shares her dancing clips. “This is the way I express myself and pray through art … father who art in heaven … I’m not here for concern or pity, I just want to be a good woman and be better … and I do have wonderful support, so have a brilliant day !!!”
A rep for Spears responded to Federline’s memoir and the allegations in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Oct. 14.
“With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin,” the statement reads. “All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir.”
