Britney Spears Cries On Camera During Dance Routine

Britney Spears isn’t afraid to shed a few tears … even while she’s on camera — but she insists this cry session isn’t about being sad, it’s more of a catharsis.

The pop star posted a clip of herself at the crib Tuesday, where she was spinning around to some earthy tunes playing in the background. Nothing really new there — except this time, she started weeping toward the end … kinda out of nowhere.

Now, it appears BS knew people might be alarmed by her crying, because she got ahead of it … noting in her caption that she was not having a breakdown here, per se, but simply letting out emotions.

Brit said, “It’s been a while since I’ve cried on camera !!! It’s not a breakdown assholes, it’s a release that I’ve needed for a very long time now !!! Spiritual experience for sure !!! I think I need to do that way more 🌹🌹🌹 !!! Psss… bawling.”

Unclear if Britney was moved by the music/dancing … or if it’s related to her conservatorship, or even both. What we do know is she’s aware there are more eyes on her now as she continues to feud with her sons … while also taking shots at contemporaries of hers, like Christina Aguilera — who she kinda fat-shamed this week.

You might’ve heard about this one too … Britney posted a quote from Rodney Dangerfield on IG that read, “I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.” She furthered that thought by name-dropping Christina and her backup dancers, saying if she had those same peeps in her orbit during the peak of her fame … she’d look “extremely small.”

Britney caught A LOT of backlash from that, with many taking it as body shaming … but she defended herself in a follow-up post by insisting she wasn’t trying to put anyone down, and that she’d been misunderstood. In any case, Christina unfollowed her as a result.
