Britney Spears, the iconic pop sensation at 41, has revealed a fresh addition to her body art collection—a brand-new snake tattoo adorning her lower back. The unveiling took place on Friday, shared with her followers in an Instagram Reel.
The video showcases the intricate artwork on the superstar’s lower back while she dons a vibrant yellow and white printed crop top along with cutoff white denim shorts. With an infectious smile, she dances around in the clip, facing the camera, and enthusiastically exclaims, “My new snake tattoo, guys. I’m so excited!”
To accompany her post, Spears added a single snake emoji as the caption.
This latest ink venture by the “Toxic” singer follows just a couple of weeks after she broke her silence regarding her separation from her husband, Sam Asghari.
On August 18, in an Instagram post, Spears candidly addressed the looming divorce, stating, “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together… 6 years is a long time to be with someone, so I’m a little shocked, but… I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business!!!”
She went on to express her emotional journey, sharing, “But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly!!! In some sort of telepathic way, I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!! I’ve been playing it strong for way too long, and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality, and I think we all know that!!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel, but for some reason, I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses!!!”
Spears further elaborated, “If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors!!! But that’s when I needed family the most!!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally… not under conditions!!!!”
It was confirmed by PEOPLE that Spears and Asghari, 29, parted ways after 14 months of marriage on August 16, with the actor filing for divorce on the same day.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Spears continues to maintain a positive outlook. A source previously shared with PEOPLE that she is “in great spirits despite everything going on,” emphasizing her focus on the future during this trying period.
