Britney Spears dropped the bombshell in a stream-of-consciousness Instagram post on April 6 that she, incredibly, has never used a computer. Britney’s post began as a lamentation of technology’s socially alienating qualities and how they have increased her struggle with shyness, as exemplified in her star-struck encounters with Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore.
“I had to open my stupid mouth with Kate so I ran away immediately and with Drew … I went mute,” Britney wrote, before adding the revelation, “I’m sharing this because we all seem to alienate behind our phones and computers I’ve never opened a computer my whole life … just a phone.” Although Brit continued that she missed the simpler days of greeting a stranger face-to-face, she concluded her post by cheekily quipping, “I will probably buy a computer today!”
Fans gushed in the pop icon’s comments section over her sentiments’ innocence. “This is the cutest thing ever,” one commented, while another encouraged her to go live her best life. “Get that new MacBook Pro Britney, you deserve it,” they cheered. However, many focused on Britney’s casual description of fiance Sam Asghari as her “husband.” (Last we checked, the two hadn’t exchanged vows … yet, as per Us Weekly.) As always, Britney has given the Insta-world a lot to unpack!
