Britney Spears announced Sunday that she had married herself, leaving viewers torn.
In a video she posted to Instagram, the pop star wore a wedding dress and veil while gazing into the camera as Sting’s “Fields of Gold” played.
“The day I married myself … Bringing it back because it might seem embarrassing or stupid, but I think it’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever done !!!” she wrote.
People magazine interpreted the post as a declaration of self-love, as did some fans on the internet.
But the majority of viewers took a less sanguine view tinged with concern, questioning her mental health. Some questioned the successful fight to have her conservatorship removed.
In subsequent videos, the “Toxic” singer shared a provocative clip of her in a bikini and also seemed to announce a vacation to Turks and Caicos.
Her divorce from her third husband, actor and model Sam Asghari, was finalized in May after they married in 2022.
The “Crossroads” actor has two grown sons with Kevin Federline, whom she married in 2004.
Her name reemerged in the news earlier this month when “Saturday Night Live” guest host Ariana Grande did a brief impression of her during the monologue.
