Britney Spears drops MAJOR clue she’s set to perform with Elton John at Glastonbury
Britney Spears has dropped a major clue that she’ll be performing alongside Elton John at Glastonbury this weekend.
Music legend Elton, 76, will headline the iconic Pyramid Stage on Sunday, with his husband David Furnish recently hinting that the singer will be joined by four surprise guests.
And in a new Instagram post, Britney — rumored to be joining Elton — shared a cryptic post that could very well mean she’s putting on her boots and heading to Worthy Farm.
The Baby One More Time hitmaker, 41, took to her social media on Thursday and uploaded a photo of an apple carved into what appears to be the flag of St. George’s.
Plus, she captioned the post with three Union Jack emojis, no doubt sending the rumor mills further into overdrive.

The star also shared a portrait of a McDonalds meal alongside more Union Jack flags, further teasing the collaboration.
Britney previously joined forces with Elton on their 2022 track Hold Me Closer, her first song since finishing conservatory at 13.
In an interview last September, Elton said he was eager to “help boost Britney’s confidence” and hopes the duet “will be the momentum” for Britney to record new music.
Elton said he was “so happy for her, because it’s brought her back to what she’s famous for, being a singer and recording artist.”
The Toxic singer was said to be enjoying a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with husband Sam Asghari, but that’s not to say she couldn’t get on a flight to the UK in time for a Sunday gig.
After all, she recently sent fans wild after sharing a conveniently timed post announcing she was heading to London for a “shopping trip” — though she’s since deleted that post.
It comes after David Furnish revealed Elton will have four surprise guests performing in his Glastonbury headline show – his final UK appearance which will end his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Speaking to Sky News presenter Beth Rigby, David said he is ‘sworn to secrecy’ about the identities of the mystery acts, but described Elton’s headline slot as ‘very special’.
It comes amid huge speculation that Harry Styles could be one of the mysterious names to take the stage after fans noticed there was a perfect gap in his own tour to make room for a surprise performance.

Other rumors include Dua Lipa, Rina Sawayama and Lil Nas X, who has already been booked to perform at the festival just ahead of him.
David said, “Four employees of his choice. Folks, he just thought, ‘I’d love to do something with these artists at Glastonbury’. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Asked who they might be, Furnish added, “Sorry. I have sworn to secrecy.”
‘This one is very special. It’s not just another day in office,’ David told Beth. ‘It’s a different setlist – it’s a huge outdoor live festival.
“He has four different collaborators who join him on stage at different times, who I won’t name, sorry.
“So he made a lot of changes. There’s a lot on his plate, so I think he’s anxious. Yes, but I think good, anxious, healthy anxious.’
David added that despite the end of Elton’s farewell tour, he has no plans to fully retire and will be working on a new album in the fall.
He joked, “I don’t think he’s going to sit on the couch with a remote.
He’s going back into the studio in October to start work on his next album.
Which will be great. He hasn’t made a studio album in a long time.’
