Britney Spears is not taking trolls lightly and has reportedly clapped back at her critics and previously called best friends.

While the link is unclear, the singer added that she has "been held back from going to Mexico." She addressed her critics and wrote:
“But just like the comments and people who said they were my best friend, it’s people like them who are so jealous, they will do anything to keep me from living my life and in my highest manner."
Britney Spears ended the note with the hope that everyone can be "kind towards each other." This is not the first time the Toxic singer has responded to negative comments on her social media.

"If you don't like me dancing then f**k off."
More recently, the singer posted a video of her dancing in a "dress" on April 8, 2025, and noted that the "song" made her want to "express" herself. Per Page Six, she reportedly broke off with her boyfriend, Paul Soliz in late February. She has not made any official comments about the separation.
