Britney Spears has posted a sultry nude snap sitting on the edge of her bathtub to her 31.2million followers.
The pop star, 39, was captured from behind and the picture cut off before revealing her bare behind.
She captioned her post with only three pointe shoe emojis.
Fans commented: “That back carried the entire pop music industry.”
Another said: “Britney’s back,” perhaps a play on words or on the fact that she seems to be fighting for her freedom.
However some were confused, asking: “Where are the tattoos?” as Britney has a fairy tattoo on her back and some even speculated it wasn’t her back or it was photoshopped.
And countless others simply wrote: “Free Britney!”
Britney is currently in the midst of a battle over her conservatorship, which has been in place since 2008.
Her manager Larry Rudolph, who has managed her since the mid-90s, has resigned and said the singer intends to retire.
In a letter to Spears’ conservators, father Jamie Spears and Jodi Montgomery, he wrote: “It has been over two-and-a-half years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus.
“Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.”
She also posted an anime sketch of a blonde woman holding flowers and captioned it: “Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be thy name! Ps you better f***ing believe it!”
On Wednesday Britney also re-posted a video of Jamie Foxx wearing a summery caftan to her Instagram.
Britney’s mother, Lynne, recently wrote to the judge in her daughter’s conservatorship case, asking her to allow Britney to appoint her own attorney and end the legal framework she says is ruining her life.
Her mother has said Britney can look after herself and has been for years.
On Wednesday in a court filing, Lynne Spears asked Judge Brenda Penny to “listen to the wishes of her daughter”.
The singer’s attorney wrote: “On June 23, 2021 in a very courageous showing, Conservatee [Britney] appeared by phone and spoke for almost 25 minutes, baring her heart to the Court in an impassioned plea to be heard on several requests.
“Petitioner Lynne Spears, interested party and mother of the Conservatee, hereby petitions this Court to listen to the wishes of her daughter, and as first step, respectfully requests an Order granting permission to the Conservatee to hire her own private legal counsel.”
Lynne’s attorney said that Britney has “quite literally earned hundreds of millions of dollars” as a pop star and can care for herself.
