Bad news for fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Britney Spears performing in the States any time soon.
The singer, 44, vowed she’ll “never perform in the U.S. again” in a post shared via her Instagram on Thursday, January 8.
“Sending this piano to my son this year!!! she captioned a throwback photo of herself on stage sitting next to a piano. “Interestingly enough, I dance on IG to heal things in my body that people have no idea about. Yup and it’s embarrassing sometimes… but I walked through the fire to save my life… “
Spears added that she’s steering clear of taking to the stage in her home country but teased future international performances in the U.K. and Australia.
Britney Spears is hopeful about reconciling with her two sons, multiple sources exclusively tell Us Weekly. “Britney has been reaching out to her sons more and wants to start spending more time with them when they are ready,” one insider tells Us. Spears, 42, shares sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17, with her […]
“I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons but I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon,” she continued. “He’s a huge star and I’m so humbled to be in his presence!!! God speed, little man!!!”
While Spears did not name which son she was referencing in the post, she shares two children with her ex-husband Kevin Federline: Jayden, 19, and Preston, 20.
She previously described Jayden as a “genius” in a March 2025 Instagram post that featured a video of her son playing the piano.
“I’m in awe of him,” she said in the post. “I can’t believe he’s mine!!! I was honestly scared that’s not normal!!!”

Last month, Jayden celebrated Christmas with his mom in California while Preston spent the holidays with the “… Baby One More Time” singer’s family in Louisiana.
“She had an amazing time with Jayden on Christmas,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly on December 30. “They laughed a lot and bonded more than they have in a while.”
Previously, the “Gimme More” singer performed regularly from 2013 to 2017 as part of her lucrative Las Vegas residency, Britney: Piece of Me.
She was set to follow up with her second residency, Domination, in 2019 but pulled the plug indefinitely before it kicked off, citing family issues.
“I am dedicating my focus and energy to care for my family,” Spears said in a statement on January 4, 2019. “We have a very special relationship and I want to be with my family at this time just like they have always been there for me.”
Britney Spears’ career and personal life have faced a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills on the singing competition Star Search at 10 years old in 1992. Following a stint on The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1997 and […]
Spears continued, “Thank you to all my fans for your continued love and support during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and I look forward to the time when I can be back on stage performing for all of you.”
According to a press release at the time, Jamie Spears was rushed to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas two months prior to the announcement after his colon spontaneously ruptured. He was taken into surgery and spent 28 days in the hospital before being released to his home.
Jamie was a prominent figure in his daughter’s conservatorship controversy and the father-daughter duo have endured a rocky relationship over the years.
In a November 2020 court hearing, Spears said she was “afraid” of her father, who was her conservator at the time, and said that she “will not perform as long as her father is in charge of her career.”
Spears’ 13-year conservatorship was officially terminated on November 12, 2021 and Jamie is no longer the singer’s conservator.
