Britney Spears<\/a> has announced that she plans to take to stages once more \u2013 but has vowed to never again perform in the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The legendary popstar, 44, broke out in the late 1990s and dominated the pop landscape <\/a>of the Y2K era, becoming one of the biggest selling singers of all time.<\/p>\n

After a decade of public scrutiny and press attention, she was placed under a controversial conservatorship after dealing with numerous mental health<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n

The Toxic hitmaker went on hiatus in 2018 to focus on getting out of the conservatorship, which she did in 2021 \u2013 hasn\u2019t performed a full live show for almost eight years.<\/p>\n

According to an Instagram<\/a> post she uploaded on Friday morning, however, Britney revealed that she is planning to start performing live music again in the near future.<\/p>\n

She began by posting a picture of herself sitting at a piano during a live show many years ago, saying she plans to sell it to her son Jayden, who she gave birth to during her three-year marriage to Kevin Federline.<\/p>\n

In the caption, she added: \u2018I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son, in the UK and Australia<\/a>, very soon.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier in her short statement, she revealed that \u2018very sensitive reasons\u2019 are what currently stand between her and any future performances in the United States.<\/p>\n

She then addressed fan concerns: \u2018I dance on Instagram to heal things in my body that people have no idea about. Yup, and it\u2019s embarrassing sometimes. But I walked through the fire to save my life.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking about Jayden, she added: \u2018Sending this piano [in the picture] to my son this year! He\u2019s a huge star and I\u2019m so humbled to be in his presence! God speed, little man.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear what the sensitive reasons are behind Britney\u2019s refusal to perform in the US, but a post from between Christmas<\/a> and New Year saw her refer to her home country as \u2018trash\u2019.<\/p>\n

She posted, \u2018Have you guys seen the movie Trash? Such a beautiful title, right \u2018Murca [America]?\u2019, accompanying her words with a string of laughing emoji.<\/p>\n

No plans to perform in the UK and Australia have been made official yet, but her British and Australian fans will no doubt be excited about her potential return.<\/p>\n

The last time she performed in the UK was in October 2018, when she headlined the Tower Headland Festival in Blackpool as part of her Piece of Me tour.<\/p>\n

This most recent announcement comes after she appeared to call out her own family<\/a> after seemingly spending Christmas Day without any of them.<\/p>\n

\u2018Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can\u2019t fix.\u2019<\/p>\n

Britney\u2019s sister Jamie-Lynn had recently posted a photograph of her family spending Christmas together, including Britney\u2019s niece Ivey, whom Britney admitted she wanted to \u2018hold\u2019 over the festive period.<\/p>\n
