Thank i was wondering where did she read that. 

[MrTrouble]

So here's my theory. She has a Google alert (or whatever it's called) that lets her know when there's an article with her name in it. And then she reacts to it through these posts in her own way. 
 

She usually just either totally skips that context or references it very vaguely, then goes on with some very loosely related anecdotes and everyone reading her post is like: what??? It also doesn't help that she writes it like it's her diary or like she's vague posting.

Britney captions are so ghetto and cxnt at the same time.

I hate and love them in equal measure

"Revealing that TikTok talk is particularly associated with young women, he claims the intonation has been fuelled by female influencers and celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears."

I love how the article puts Britney and her homemade videos and random pictures and flowers on the same level as Kim, who's working with 7 different stylists and designers as a professional influencer

Thank you Lola.

Britney's captions make sense but she tends to be very vague and cryptic like it's just for her to know.

Another post that'll go over so many heads. I think user @sodapopbritney said it best -

'Uptalk is when you finish your sentences like a question. It’s associated with the valley girl accent/kardashians. It’s often paired with a vocal fry and not a large vocabulary.

Downtalk is seen as more assertive, intelligent, confident. You end your statements as they are, not as a question. It could be seen as rude, which is why uptalk may be used to appease others. As she’s saying here.. '

Im starting to think that that's not the case. I think she thinks every single person on earth is reading every detail about her everywhere that she just talks to the world like its a family member or smth.. or like she's the only topic in the world so everyone MUST know what she means.

 

Very Narcissistney actually, I'm here for it 

[LaLohan]

Britney probably reads smth about herself or hear something in her daily life and goes to instagram to blab something in relation to it.

 

 

Us fans understand, the world doesn't. She needs to understand that.

 

And that's why everything gets misinterpreted and she has to apologize after. Case closed

Hey, I just read the article... So interesting how the teen girls are more prone to transmit the linguistic innovations. It's interesting that Britney might have been influencing the crowd since she was still a teen aka BOMT/oops era, maybe?

The article says it is likely also because of how aware the young girls tend to be about their peers and how women have contact with a various diversity of people.
