The mom-of-two, 42, said that prior to her trip, "I don’t think I’ve been in a confident place in my head."

Spears expressed that she felt her body wasn't her own because of all the things she was "forced to do and disagreed with" over the years.

"I know this sounds crazy but just owning my feet... I don’t want to go to the gym, all I want to do is move and feel alive..." she spilled. "I’m dancing and it feels so good to let go, I guess I could get a dance studio but I like a small place... I don’t get lost and the bathroom is huge!!!"

It's unclear if the pop star is still in Turks and Caicos, where she jetted off to last week.

At the time, she revealed that being on the island reminded her of past trips she went on with an unnamed ex.

"I’m honestly not ashamed to say this, but whenever me and my ex would come here, we fought … Not one time did I sleep in bed with him !!!" the Crossroads actress confessed. "I got a pillow and would sleep outside … I like the sound of the fountain outside !!!"

Spears showed off her bikini body last month while sunbathing on vacation.

Though she kept the man's identity to herself, fans assumed she was referring to ex-husband Sam Asghari, 30, whom she began dating in 2016 and was married to for 14 months before he filed for divorce in August 2023.

Spears was romantically linked on and off to handyman Paul Richard Soliz throughout this past year, but it's unclear if they are still together.
