Britney SpearsPosts on social media have gained increasing significance for fans due to the documentary on her guardianship, and her most recent photo is no exception.
The 39-year-old pop star, who is known for sharing cheerful dance videos and silly messages, went to Instagram on Tuesday, February 16 to post a picture of a Scrabble board that contained real, made-up words.
In her caption, performer “Stronger” encouraged fans to find the false words, but did not specify whether she was actually playing with someone else. As board game fans know, making up your own words is usually a ban on Scrabble.
“Can you find a word that is not really a word ????” Britney wrote. “Sometimes it’s fun to do some [winking-face-with-tongue and shrugging emojis] !!!! “
This, of course, prompted countless fans to suggest in the comments that the words on the board were intended to form a hidden meaning or offer clues to their well-being. Many of the fan comments appear to be cheerful, although others express real concern for the “Circus” singer.

“She is talking to us through code,” wrote one user. “Let’s go to work.”
While it is safe to assume that Britney did not intend to express any hidden meaning with the post, her fans’ comments reflect the #FreeBritney movement that gained the most attention following the premiere of “Framing Britney Spears”. Released on February 5th, this episode of the FX docuseries The New York Times Presents focused on the star for being under the tutelage of his father Jamie Spears since 2008, which means he has legal control over his personal and financial decisions.
In November 2020, a judge rejected the singer’s request to remove her father from guardianship.
