Britney Spears has deleted her Instagram account and caused a frenzy on the internet. Fortunately, this time the singer did it entirely of her own volition. A source told US Weekly that the 40-year-old pop sensation “chose to disable her own Instagram” just a day after expressing to her followers that she wanted to be “feared” and not “pitied.”

To confirm the source’s statement, TMZ reported that they asked Instagram officials whether they were responsible for shutting down her account, and they denied doing so.

Britney Spears' most recent Instagram post, which was uploaded on Tuesday, showcased her return to Las Vegas. The Toxic singer wrote in the caption:

“The only thing I've known when I used to go to Vegas was a hour long meet and greets with 40 people every night getting the worst pics of me and then a two hour show! Let's just say this time visiting it gave me a whole new perspective on what it means to live! Being able to go to the spa was a highlight as well and you know what? Don't ever pity me like my masseuse does.”

The singer then unapologetically said :

“I want to be feared! Being loved and being nice got me taken advantage of so take pity and go f**k yourselves.”
