Britney Spears says she’ll probably ‘never perform again’ due to ‘trauma’

Britney Spears made her first public comments about the future of her career performing live music, claiming she is “traumatized” from working under her conservatorship.

Pop star Britney Spears may never perform again.

On Sunday, Spears made her first public comments about the future of her career performing live music, claiming she is “pretty traumatized” from working under her conservatorship.

Despite the recent release of her collaborative song Hold Me Closer with Elton John, Spears, 40, wrote in a lengthy Instagram post about returning to the stage.

“I’m pretty traumatized for life and yes I’m pissed as f— and no I probably won’t perform again just because I’m stubborn and I will make my point,” she wrote.

The post has since been deleted.

Spears claimed the 13-year conservatorship managed by her father Jamie Spears left her with little to no control over her own life and career, including the creative control of her music videos. In the post, the Oops! I Did It Again singer also took great issue with the in-concert photos taken of her during her four-year Las Vegas residency. Spears also complained about the number of dancers on stage during these shows.

She said she would rather use a studio to shoot photos herself over “working with the most offensive people in my life.”

Spears seemed to imply that the photos taken of her during her Las Vegas residency were unflattering, writing, “they could have at least cheated and retouched them for me … just saying.”
