Britney Spears says the world has been 'hateful' to her as she flashes midriff in miniskirt and cropped blouse

Britney Spears said that the world has been 'hateful' to her as she posed up a storm in a miniskirt and cropped blouse for a new Instagram video this weekend. 

The 44-year-old pop star, who recently opted for a lowkey profile for lunch in NYC, got candid with her followers in the caption of the clip shared on Saturday. 

The Baby One More Time hitmaker filmed herself in a dimly lit living area while sporting a patterned sweater which she began removing for the camera. 

She then flashed her midriff as she tied the white blouse underneath and also opted for a gray miniskirt. For a final touch, the singer slipped into a pair of red boots. 

'A lot of girls last year have definitely done the complete image I used to have when I was younger,' Spears penned. 'And yo that's cool but at least mine was real.' 

The music artist added that she had been a 'nerd' back in school, before saying that 'the world has become fake.' 

Spears wrote it is 'a shame' that 'people who are actually real get hated on.' 

The star then added that people in her life have told her to 'be fake' while also typing that she 'needs a bad a** girlfriend who can teach me how to lie.'

'I'm actually too kind in real life and that's the problem.. to all the girls who say I'm History… I'M PROPHECY.'

Spears continued, 'I'm the original apple B school girl who did backflips and backhand springs and fell in love with people on every set I ever went to… these years were precious so young and naive...' 

The singer candidly added that 'the world has been hateful to me and I'm still standing, living, and dreaming.'

In conclusion, the songstress expressed her plans to share photos from her trip to Italy 'soon,' before adding, 'I want to keep them for me though PS no makeup makes you look WAY younger.' 

Throughout the course of the latest Instagram reel, Spears could be seen striking a number of poses and also flashed a smile towards the camera. 

The track titled Baby Did A Bad Thing by Chris Isaak played in the background. 

Daily Mail has reached out to reps of Spears for comment, but has yet to hear back.

The star's latest Instagram post comes just days after she was seen stepping out in New York City on Thursday. 

The Toxic hitmaker grabbed lunch at the Mediterranean restaurant RinTinTin and opted for a lowkey profile during the outing. 

Spears was surrounded by security as she stepped out of a vehicle and made her way into the eatery. 

Once seated inside, the singer covered her face with a scarf while also sporting a pair of stylish shades. She later returned to her car as she held a small smile on her face. 

Also this month, the performer dropped an unreleased track in collaboration with ex Justin Timberlake, shocking some fans. 

She released the song titled She'll Never Be Me which had originally been recorded her 2001 album Britney. Timberlake helped with the composition and lyrics of the song.

The two stars previously dated from 1999 until their split in 2002. 

Spears had reflected on the relationship in her 2023 memoir The Woman In Me. 

The book had contained a number of explosive revelations about the romance, such as the songstress revealing that Timberlake had urged her to have an abortion when she fell pregnant. 

She'll Never Be Me was dropped before the album's 25th anniversary edition which is slated to be released on November 6. 

There had been no press release from her record label RCA, and Spears only shared a Facebook reel to promote the song. 

Back in February, the singer sold her entire music catalog for around $200 million.

Spears has been active on social media in recent months, and revealed she felt 'bitter' over her 13-year-long conservatorship in an Instagram post shared over the past weekend. 

She also recalled how she got to hold her first $1 bill five years ago, before lashing out at her parents as well as critics who have labeled her as 'crazy.' 

Last week, the star posed for a rare family photo with her sons Sean Preston, 21, and Jayden, 20, as they took a trip to Dollywood.
