‘My life has always been very speculated… watched… and judged really my whole life!!!’ the Grammy-winning artist began in the post.
‘For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive!!!’ ‘I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people!!!’
The Baby One More Time singer opened up about her general skepticism amid more than 20 years in the limelight.
‘It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I’ve always been so judged… insulted… and embarrassed by the media… and I still am till this day!!!!’ she said.
‘As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people!!!’
Spears went on to tell her 29 million Instagram followers how she finds dancing an outlet that brings her joy.
‘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!!!!’

Tuesday’s remarks marked the first time the pop star has publicly commented on the Hulu documentary, which premiered February 5.
Insiders told Us that the circle around the Toxic artist, who is mom to teen sons Preston, 15, and Jayden, 14, had mixed feelings about the documentary.
‘The likes of her dad and others in the conservatorship are far from happy about it, obviously, because they feel it’s another example of them being painted as money-grabbing villains when all they’re doing – so they say – is trying to help Britney run her life and stay in a safe place,’ the source said.
‘But there are growing numbers of people who think it’s high time this extremely sad and confusing story was aired and it’s a positive step in the right direction.’
The documentary detailed the Oops!… I Did It Again singer’s portrayal in the media for more than two decades and the ongoing #FreeBritney movement amid her conservatorship battle with her father Jamie Spears.
In it, several former agents and friends suggested that Britney’s mom Lynne cared for her well-being while Jamie was more concerned about her earning ability.
The conservatorship was first put in place in 2008 after Britney was hospitalized following a widely publicized breakdown.
At around the same time, her parents brought a restraining order against Sam Lufti, who they said had inserted himself in Britney’s life to take advantage of her.
He has always denied their allegations.

Due to health reasons, Jamie was forced to temporarily hand over the reins in 2019 to Jodi Montgomery, who was already working as Britney’s care manager.
Britney has been fighting to ask a court to permanently replace her dad with Montgomery as the conservator over her person.
In August last year, Britney lost a bid to remove him.
The pop star’s fans have railed behind a #FreeBritney movement sharing conspiracy theories claiming Britney is being held against her will and supporting her in her fight for legal freedom from her father.
The Hulu documentary then brought renewed attention to Britney’s plight.
In the latest development in the ongoing legal saga, Spears’ lawyer filed a request last week asking for Jamie to be permanently removed as conservator.
Lawyer Samuel Ingham told a Los Angeles court hearing he will ask that Jodi Montgomery, who in 2019 was appointed temporary conservator of the singer’s personal affairs, be made permanent.
Ingham said he would present the petition at an April 27 hearing.
