Britney Spears has said she wanted to take a break from social media after her engagement to Sam Asghari. Fans noticed that the singer’s Instagram account disappeared on Tuesday, leading some to believe it had been deactivated.

Spears, 39, later confirmed that she had deleted the account herself and assured fans that it wouldn’t be long.
“Don’t worry folks. I’m just taking a little break from social media to celebrate my engagement. I’ll be back soon,” she wrote on Twitter.
Spears’ lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, said “it was her decision” to step away from the social media platform in a statement to Fox News.
Meanwhile, a source told Page Six that the star is “happy and in a great place” and added that “silence can be a powerful thing.”
Spears’ decision to delete her Instagram account comes after a recent post about being controlled by others.
The newly engaged pop superstar appeared to share a post on Instagram Monday night titled “Infusing education with heart” that she says she’s bonding with, according to reports.
The post, which has previously been shared on her social feed, is said to explore the importance of teaching children with heart in mind.
Spears had been using Instagram to share updates with fans amid her guardianship battle. It was on the platform that the Stronger singer announced on Sunday that she was ready to marry her partner.
Her decision to deactivate her Instagram account comes ahead of another hearing in the guardianship that controls her life and career.
Her father Jamie oversees her multimillion-dollar estate, but agreed to step down after months of pressure from the singer, who demanded he be removed from the role.
