Britney Spears has returned to social media less than a day after deactivating her Instagram account.
The 41-year-old pop music icon – who is gearing up to release her memoir The Woman In Me, which details her past relationship with Justin Timberlake – returned to the platform as she shared a post in a white mini dress.
A caption for her 42 million followers read: ‘CLASSIC!!! I made this dress, no lie!!! It snapped at the back when I started shooting, OF COURSE!!! I waited three years to wear it… have no idea why??? HMMMM.”
The video appears to have been shot sometime last year, as a light-up Christmas tree was visible behind Britney for the entire duration.
The clip was supported by Cardi B’s 2018 song I Like It, featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin.

The brief deactivation of her Instagram profile came amid revelations of shocking revelations revealed in excerpts from her upcoming tell-all.
In the book, Britney confessed that she had cheated on Justin with her choreographer Wade Robson.
The star also revealed that she had an abortion at the age of 19 because Timberlake “wasn’t ready to be a father.”
Shortly before deleting her Instagram page, she shared a lengthy note about the attention surrounding her book.
“I don’t like the headlines I read,” she wrote in black font against a stark white background.
“The purpose of my book was not to offend anyone in any way,” the note continued. ‘That was me then. That is past tense.’
“Most of the book is from twenty years ago,” she continued. ‘I’ve moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here!!!’
The pop star added: “I’m here to fix it like this for the rest of my life!!! Anyway, that’s the last one and s*** happens!!!’

Spears wrote that although she wanted the baby and “dreamed of a family” with Justin, who was also 19 at the time, he ultimately “wasn’t ready” for the responsibilities of fatherhood.
In an excerpt published by People, the singer recalled, “It was a surprise, but for me it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected that one day we would start a family together. This would just be a lot sooner than I expected.
“He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.
‘I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been up to me alone, I would never have done it. And yet Justin was so sure he didn’t want to be a father.’
