Britney Spears has been a musical star for almost two decades. At the height of her fame in the late 90s and early 00's, Spears had become one of the most successful and well-known pop artists of the time, selling millions of records and becoming an established cultural icon in the process. Her music continues to be influential even today and inspires new generations of pop music.

However, like many celebrities who have felt the glare of fame from a young age, Spears went through a tumultuous time in the late 2000s. Constantly being plagued by cameras and paparazzi is not easy to manage no matter how much experience you have, but Spears was overcome by the difficulties. Her public "breakdown" in 2007 made her an object of public scrutiny for years. 

While her musical career has since recovered and she was able to produce best-selling records even afterward, she has once again become the subject of another type of scrutiny, one where her freedom and mental health are being called into question often on social media.

With the release of the documentary "Framing Britney Spears" in February 2021 and the ongoing "Free Britney" movement that calls into question the continued need for her legal conservatorship, Spears has concerned fans trying to engage with her on her social media pages. 

The intentions of Spears' fans may be noble, but Spears has released a video in April 2021 that puts to rest many worries. On her Instagram page, Spears said that she is doing well and that she is merely enjoying her life. 

Though her teenage and young adult success is most well known, Spears' career began when she was quite young. Britannica reports that her talent for singing first came to light when she was only two years old when she first began competing in talent shows. Her career really took off when she was 17 after her first single, “…Baby One More Time,” which was met with controversy for her provocative video. However, this only added to her fame and all subsequent musical releases were extremely successful. While her music made a name for Spears, her erratic and turbulent private life was the point of focus for paparazzi and tabloids. 

Most notably, her tumultuous, three-year-long marriage to dancer Kevin Federline, and her volatile behavior in 2007, during which she shaved her head and was even briefly hospitalized, were points of focus that eventually led to a court-appointed conservatorship in 2008. Her father has since been her legal conservator, but this long legal arrangement has led to fans questioning its continued need even today. This led to the #FreeBritney movement and prompted the release of the unauthorized documentary, "Framing Britney Spears" that looks into the highly-debated conservatorship in February 2021. 

Naturally, public interest in Spears has once again been revived. However, Spears has now been using her social media platform to speak to her fans directly, and her most recent video gives fans insight into Spears' current life. Apart from the main question of whether she is okay, Spears also addresses other questions she continues to be asked by fans.

She began the video by saying, "I'm here to answer all of your questions, and the first main question you guys have been asking me is basically when I'm in my living room, do I get dizzy when I'm spinning so much?" She answered this by adding, "Yes, I get extremely dizzy but I'm a dancer so as long as I have a focus point for my head, as I turn as long as I keep finding that spot, usually in the end it's not as bad."

She also addressed the questions about her posting a photo of a random red refrigerator. "Honestly I just thought it was cool," she said, elaborating that it had no deeper meaning. "I thought it was vintage, it was red and just really cool." 

Finally, she had the long-awaited answer to the question of whether she is okay: "Yes, I'm totally fine. I'm extremely happy, I have a beautiful home, beautiful children," said the star. "I'm taking a break right now because I'm enjoying myself."

Previously, Spears also added that though she was flattered by her fans' concern, she felt "embarrassed" by the attention she received for the February 2021 documentary. She posted a video of her dancing, and said at the end of her long caption about the documentary, "I cried for two weeks and well....I still cry sometimes !!!!"

However, she spoke further, "I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy...love...and happiness ✨🙏🏼 ☀️ !!!! Every day dancing brings me joy !!! I'm not here to be perfect...perfect is boring...I'm here to pass on kindness 💋💋💋 !!!!"
