Britney Spears, who has been under her father’s control for over years, is finally free and can live her life. She got married to her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, and they celebrated their wedding and invited a lot of celebrities: Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, Madonna, etc. Recently, she acquired an Australian shepherd puppy. She’s also been constantly experimenting with hair colors and has discovered a new interest in cosmetics. But with the freedom to do new things comes the option to remain at home anytime you choose, which is precisely what Spears did when it came to one of the year’s greatest social events: the Met Gala.

On her instagram page, she addressed why she didn’t attend the event this year. The post includes a video of Spears , and the caption says, “I was going to go to the Met Gala, but instead I went in the shower with my dog and put my pjs on.”

She said that flying isn’t the most enjoyable thing for her now, and attending a huge social event where your photo will be taken at every turn might be nerve-racking. Knowing when you need a bath, dog hugs, and jammies instead is self-care, and it’s frequently the best decision for many of us—perhaps particularly in these stressful times.

Although it would have been interesting to know what she wore to the Met Gala, the most important thing is that she had a pleasant night. If you want to share your favorite candles or bath bombs on Instagram Stories, Brit, we’re ready when you are.
