Britney Spears is moving to Mexico for a very sad reason

Britney Spears announced to her fans that she is moving to Mexico.

We thought that the singer of Toxic flew to Mexico to celebrate her 43rd^e birthday on Monday, but she later claimed in an Instagram video that she had moved to the country to escape the paparazzi.

“It actually hurts me a lot that the paparazzi turned my face into a white Jason mask [Voorhees]”, said Britney Spears, referring to the character of Friday the 13th. “He doesn’t even look like me. They have always been very cruel to me, in the way they portray me. I know I'm not perfect, far from it, but some people are extremely mean and cruel, and that's why I went to Mexico.”

Her comments come weeks after the singer told fans she was 'probably going to move [au Mexique] Soon”. In the since-deleted Instagram post, the pop star explained that she felt like a “completely different person” away from home and couldn't stop “crying every time I left there.”

On Monday, December 2, Britney Spears shared a video of her birthday cake covered in chocolate and strawberries and claimed she was celebrating her fifth birthday rather than her 43^e. The singer of Oops!… I Did It Again bizarrely declared, worrying some fans: “I'm celebrating my 5th birthday and I have to go to preschool tomorrow.”

As a birthday present for her 43rd birthday, Britney Spears was declared legally single, after her divorce from Sam Asghari was finalized on May 2, 2024.
