I think people are forgetting this isn't a Britney song, she is just the feature on Elton John's. 

All marketing decisions will be made by EJ's team

This isn’t true btw, you don’t get Britney on a song without her team having control over it. No one ever confirmed a date and people got hyped up and are now disappointed. It was fishy to begin with tbh

“Some” control, maybe some influence…but not their decision.

She was a reporter and I remember clearly that in this moment when her camera man spanned the camera to show the "event" she brought her face forward into frame (I don't know why) but her camera man was like nope.

Guys, you do realize that it's still technically Thursday the 18th in California, right? Plus, they got the entirety of the 19th to release song. And they know it's been leaked, so they might push the release forward.

[davidspears]

I'm hoping it is still released today.

Remember when Britney released 'Make Me' and then a few hours later Katy Perry released 'Rise'

No, it isn't. All the new releases for today have been already out and the new music friday playlists are completed

But hey, technically we have the song today

That's very sad indeed!

[VSW]

It doesn't make any sense at all. It's not like they have huge promotion planned and all of that. The song is all over Twitter. Why not release it? Ugh.

She’s a reporter who was doing a livestream for the desert event. I’m forgetting the details, but it was kinda sad because Britney was late or the reporter  was just required to do the livestream for an absurd amount of time. She didn’t seem to be given any more information than we got as fans and so she just had to entertain the livestream without really anything to go off of, making it messy. It’s kind of a legendary moment on Exhale now because there were already so meltdowns about there being no performance, and the livestream and this gif just summed up the messiness and awkwardness of it all.
