Spears expressed her gratitude for the support she has received from fans and readers, saying, “I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support.”

Jon M. Chu is also gearing up for the release of the first part of his adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical ‘Wicked’. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the film is ready to premiere on November 22, with its sequel scheduled for November 26, 2025.

Since emerging from her conservatorship in late 2021, Spears has kept a lower profile, focusing on personal projects rather than returning to the music scene. She has been active on social media, particularly Instagram, sharing dance videos and updates on her life. Earlier this year, she announced her decision to step away from performing, choosing instead to write for other artists.

Spears briefly expressed discomfort with how they depicted her in the accompanying music video but later clarified that many misunderstood her post. Halsey responded with support, emphasizing her admiration for Spears and the inspiration she has provided.
