Britney Spears, the iconic pop star, recently took a bold step in her newfound single life by riding a horse topless through the desert, just weeks after her split from Sam Asghari. In an Instagram post on Friday, the “Stronger” singer shared a video of herself riding with a bare back, wearing only a cowboy hat, white jean shorts, and a black choker necklace.
“I had to take my top off in the f—king desert 🌵!!!,” Spears, 41, captioned the video. “I should have gone naked 🥵😜 !!!”
The video begins with Spears, accompanied by friends and a tour guide, starting her excursion while wearing a yellow patterned top. This shirt is seen in several selfies she took during the journey, including clips of her wiping away makeup smudged by the heat. However, partway through the ride, the “Toxic” singer decided to go topless, capturing the spontaneous and carefree moment.
This partially nude video is one of many risqué posts Spears has shared since her separation from Asghari, 29, last month. In August, she posted a steamy video of herself rolling around in bed topless, wearing only pink underwear and knee-high black boots, set to Annie Lennox’s “I Put a Spell on You.” Shortly after, she shared another video of a male friend licking her leg.
Spears addressed her estranged husband’s divorce filing for the first time in a lengthy Instagram caption. “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together,” she wrote. “Six years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business !!!” She added that she “couldn’t take the pain anymore” but reassured fans that she was doing “pretty damn good” and was doing her “best” to stay “strong.”
Asghari, for his part, broke his silence two days prior. “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together,” he wrote on Instagram. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.”
Despite their separation, Spears and Asghari still follow each other on social media, though they are reportedly not in contact. While Spears is “not on good terms with her family members,” her brother Bryan Spears has been supportive, staying over and helping her alongside a therapist.
The former couple, who tied the knot last summer, have also reached a custody agreement over their five dogs, with Spears keeping four of them. An insider previously assured that the couple had signed an airtight prenup “in her favor” when they wed in June 2022, protecting any money she made before the wedding.
Spears’ social media activity post-split has been a mix of introspection and boldness. In her recent posts, she seems to be embracing her freedom and exploring new ways to express herself. This journey of self-discovery is evident in her daring horseback ride and other posts that showcase her unfiltered self.
The singer’s fans have shown a mix of support and concern in the comments. Some admire her bravery and confidence, while others worry about her well-being during this tumultuous time. One fan commented, “Bro, how tf did that happen,” in disbelief over the seagull incident, while another added, “The birds in Miami are built different.” A third simply stated, “THIS IS EPIC.”
However, not everyone is convinced by the authenticity of her posts. Some skeptics suggested that digital trickery might have been involved in her videos. One critic questioned, “How can people think it’s true? OMFG,” while another speculated, “The man who edits the videos for Lele Pons is a true animation boss.”
As Spears continues to navigate life post-divorce, her social media serves as a window into her evolving identity. Her topless horse ride is just one example of how she is redefining herself and exploring her boundaries. It’s clear that despite the challenges she faces, Britney Spears is determined to live life on her terms, unafraid to show the world her true self.
