Being a fan of Britney Spears has all the time been stuffed with twists and turns, a rollercoaster of “what’s going on?” set to catchy tunes. While it’s a perpetual thriller what she’ll rise up to subsequent, Spears herself has confirmed one factor she received’t be doing, by way of an Instagram caption Wednesday night: Recording a comeback album.
“Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash !!!

“When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!!” her caption continued. “For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me … I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years !!! I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way !!!”
An unnamed supply “close to Spears’ project-in-the-works” advised Rolling Stone, nevertheless, that executives had the truth is introduced on Charli XCX and different expertise in hopes of tempting Spears again into the recording studio.
“Right now, management and A&R are trying to get her excited for the music,” the supply stated. “As of right now, she’s not actively in recording but they’re getting [songs] done to present to her.”
