Britney Spears is taking a break from Instagram. 

The Hold It Against Me singer deleted her social media page on Tuesday – but not before thanking the #FreeBritney campaign for its work amid her ongoing conservatorship battle.

Alongside the final post on her account, featuring an article titled ‘Infusing education with heart’, which featured an Oscar Wilde quote, she penned: “I had to repost this so you can see the whole article! 

“Growing up in a world where basically almost everything I did was controlled by someone else… I hope this message gets to people who have been confused or manipulated by a system!

“No… you’re not alone and no… you’re not crazy! People need to hear this before it’s too late! I’ve waited 13 years and counting for my freedom! 

“Again… team #FreeBritney you guys f**king kick ass! Love you so much and God bless!”

The decision comes just a day after the singer revealed she is engaged to boyfriend of five years Sam Asghari.

Alongside an Instagram reel of the singer and her beau showing off her diamond ring, Britney beamed: “I can’t f**king believe it!!!”

The Im a Slave 4 U hitmaker is in the midst of legal proceedings to see the end of the conservatorship that’s loomed over her life since 2008. 

During testimony back in June, she told the court she wanted to marry her boyfriend and have a baby, but the conservatorship wouldn’t allow it.

“I have an (IUD) in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out,” insisted Britney. 

“I feel ganged up on. I feel bullied and I feel left out and alone… All I want is to own my money and for this to end and for my boyfriend to be able to drive me in his f**king car.”

The couple first met when Sam appeared as her love interest in her Slumber Party music video in 2016.
