No she chose that account cause it was bashing K-fat on every other posts.

Of all the good fan edits she chooses this one 💀

Yes and there a reason about that! If only people stop complaining about that cover art and start to really look with their eyes...

And thank you so much for this incredible art @monalisaney81… I appreciate this and all of your support it means so much to me !!!

Go take a look at the other posts from this account... And you will understand why Britney chose this one among so many others and why she said thank you for "this and all of your support"...

[SJK]

Literally who cares about the cover art. It’s just Britney calling the shots. She’s so against the norm of Hollywood and I’m here for it.

Me realizing the song Tiny Dancer is 50 years old.

I wouldn't want a super polished image either, but yeah I'd rather have less content but with a bit more quality, no blurry screenshots of videos or low quality footage, quotes & internet pictures in her IG story's and not in her posts, same for all her rants and no reposts and less videos with the same content over and over (like her twirling or posing posts).

That way it would look more fresh and still be her.

Has Selena said she didn’t want to be a girl who shows her body? Is this shade

not her using the fan edit though iconic

I think she is implying Selena is one of the friends that lift her up. Selena's dress also says HAPPY so she probably likes that? 

If there was a feud between them, I doubt Selena would still be following her.

It’s official she’s shading Selena Gomez … she says the exact two quotes from Britney’s post

THE TAKEAWAY IS SHE TOLD US TO “OWN OWN OWN” SO YALL BETTER BUY THE SONG WHEN IT COMES OUT 

 

[Isla]

Why am I just realising she actually tagged a fan account?

[Kand Dion]

People need to understand that Britney does not give a **** about perfect releases, perfect pictures etc. anymore. I am pretty sure she will just release some music here and there and just be a chaotic mess, and to be fair if that makes her happy then she has the right to do it 

[pancake]

lol its like a parody

I agree, she's just releasing for her and for her own enjoyment and for the fans. She is done with doing things like before.

Hello  dumb Lou Taylor or Jaime Spears…

- the art is Fan made

- caption - it’s beyond your intelligence …don’t even try

 

- Selena Photo, because she loves her

Get over it, this is a free Britney.

Also, Elton was not there in person while recording it, he was on a video call to her.

Some fans are so selfish, her first song in 6 years and all you can do is *****. You’re lucky you’re getting a song at all. Be appreciative.

It has nothing to do with selfishness. Maybe I just have a different attitude towards work than you do. She used to be under guardianship and it was obvious to everyone that she didn't want to work for the Spears clan. No or bad promotion was therefore understandable for every fan. Now that it's their own decision to release new music, I expect more engagement and proper promotion.

This reeks of selfishness.

She owes you nothing and she doesn't need to the level of 'proper promotion' that you want. Do you want to be her conservator or something?

She's releasing the song for fun, that is it. She's not going to be filming a video for it (highly unlikely), she's not going to be doing interviews for it, she's not going to perform it. This is how things are and deal with it.

You're lucky you're getting anything at all, it doesn't sound like you deserve the song.

So now if one complains about underwhelming career related projects, that means they want her controlled and back in a conservatorship?

If she wants to release stuff  just for fun, she should release it for free then.

You would have to ask Elton John about his ambitions. I don't think Elton would remake one of his classics just for fun. When 2 absolute superstars record a song together, the result goes around the world. This is tough business. Certainly not for fun.

I love that she shared fanart!
