Britney Spears showcases her abs in black mini shorts and a crop top as she dances in front of a Christmas tree… after sharing nude snap

Britney Spears shared a lively dance video to her Instagram on Thursday, following the recent release of her bombshell memoir.

The 41-year-old pop star showed off her toned abs in a colorful crop top and miniature black shorts as she danced in what appeared to be her living room, with a lighted Christmas tree behind her.

She also shared a mysterious caption under the clip, writing: ‘Don’t you just love those people raising one hand in fear!!! Heard a bird, bird, bird… stick my a** in!!! Sorry I had to!!!’

The Toxic hitmaker – who shared a cheeky nude photo earlier today – teamed her outfit with white boots and wore her bleach blonde locks down in curls.

The mother of two opted for her signature black eyeliner and further accessorized with a gold chain.

The star showed off her home choreography to the soundtrack of J Balvin and Willy William’s hit ‘Mi Gente’.

At several points she pulled the waistband of her shorts, revealing the two small tattoos on her abdomen.

Earlier in the day, the Gimme More singer went completely naked on Instagram with a very cheeky photo taken on the beach.

The photo showed Britney showing off her pert derriere as she struck an over-the-shoulder pose with her hands clasped under her face.

She appeared makeup-free and wore her blonde hair partially up in a fashionably messy beach look.

Britney did not caption the photo and shared it following the publication of her highly anticipated memoir, which detailed her woes under her 13-year conservatorship.

In it, she opened up about the “strict diet” imposed on her father Jamie Spears for two years, which consisted of chicken and canned vegetables.

In her memoir The Woman In Me, Spears described how the diet came about during her conservatorship and how she “begged” her butler for “real food.”

Spears begged for a burger and ice cream, but was continually turned away due to her father’s “strict orders.”

The singer claimed her father – who was appointed conservator of her finances and personal life in 2008 – started the diet after repeatedly telling her she looked “fat”.

With the foods she really wanted to eat being removed from her diet by someone other than her, Spears said she eventually felt like her “body wasn’t her own anymore.”

“I felt scared,” Britney said. “I’ll be honest, I was fucking miserable.”

“So for two years I ate almost nothing but canned chicken and vegetables,” she wrote.

“Two years is a long time to not be able to eat what you want, especially when it’s your body, your work and your soul that makes the money everyone lives on,” she said.

‘Two years of asking for fries and being told no. I found it so humiliating.’

But despite dieting and exercising, Britney ended up gaining weight – exactly the “opposite” of what her father had hoped for.

“Even though I wasn’t eating that much, he made me feel so ugly and like I wasn’t good enough,” she said.

“Maybe it’s because of the power of your thoughts: whatever you think you are, you become.”

Britney says she “just gave in” to whatever her father wanted because she was “so beaten down,” she adds in her memoir.

Over the years of her body being scrutinized by the media and her own family, Britney was also used to others talking about her figure.

“My body was strong enough to carry two children and agile enough to execute every choreographed move perfectly on stage,” she described. “And now here I was, logging every calorie so people could get rich off my body.”

Britney said she was the only one who found it ‘outrageous’ that her food intake was so tightly controlled.

“My family stayed in Destin, a beautiful beach town in Florida, in a ridiculously nice apartment I bought for them, and ate delicious food every night while I was hungry and at work,” she said.

Jamie took control of his eldest daughter’s life and finances after a number of highly publicized mental health issues, including famously shaving her head.

It started as a temporary arrangement but became permanent in late 2008.

After 13 years of fighting, Britney was officially released from conservatorship in November 2021.

The Woman in Me will be released with an audio version narrated by Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams.

Britney recorded a small portion of the book and avoided telling chapters that discussed her family because the content was “too painful to retell.” TMZ recently reported.

Britney is the third member of her family to release her own autobiography.

Her mother wrote Through The Storm: A Real Story of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World in 2008 and her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, published Things I Should Have Said last year.
