This comes just over a month after she was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. She was booked into California’s Ventura County Main Jail and released a few hours later.
A representative at the time called Spears' actions “completely inexcusable” and said it would ideally be “the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life.”
On 27 March, Spears addressed the arrest in the caption of one of her social media posts - a video of herself dancing alongside her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline. “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing,” she wrote. “Stay kind !!!”
The 44-year-old singer is scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on 4 May.
Spears has not toured in nearly eight years and has not put out an album since ‘Glory’ in 2016.
In 2021, she regained control of her life decisions and finances when a court-ordered conservatorship was dissolved after nearly 14 years. The legal guardianship saw her finances and personal life controlled by her father.
Two years later, she released a bestselling memoir, “The Woman in Me”, and in February 2026, Spears sold the rights to her entire music catalog to Primary Wave.
Spears remains one of the best-selling female artists, with more than 150 million records sold worldwide.
