Britney Spears is opening up about a major decision regarding her future on stage. In a candid Instagram post, the pop icon revealed she has no plans to perform in the United States again. While the announcement surprised fans, she also hinted that her connection to music isn’t entirely over.
Britney Spears says she hopes to perform in the UK and Australia
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Britney Spears announced what she described as a definitive decision about her future onstage in the U.S. The singer wrote that she will “never perform in the U.S. again,” citing what she called “extremely sensitive reasons.” While she didn’t expand on those reasons, her wording suggested the decision comes from a deeply personal place rather than a career calculation.
Despite that declaration, Spears made it clear that she hasn’t completely closed the door on live performance. According to her post, she hopes to one day perform in the United Kingdom and Australia, potentially alongside one of her sons. Spears shared that she plans to gift a white Yamaha grand piano to one of her children, whom she described as a rising musical talent and a “huge star” in her eyes.
The “Toxic” singer is mom to two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, whom she shares with her former husband Kevin Federline. While Spears didn’t specify which son the piano was intended for, she has previously praised Jayden’s musical abilities, including his interest in piano and his experimentation with sound, despite not formally studying music.
In the same post, Spears reflected on how dance and music continue to serve as a form of healing for her. She noted that sharing dance videos online helps her process emotions and physical stress, even if it sometimes feels vulnerable. “Yup and it’s embarrassing sometimes… but I walked through the fire to save my life,” Spears captioned the post.
Spears last performed live in the U.S. during her “Piece of Me” tour in 2018, following her successful Las Vegas residency. The 44-year-old canceled her planned return to Las Vegas in 2019, saying at the time that she needed to prioritize her family.
