TikTok user Kimberly Thomas posted a screenshot of one of Britney Spears' captions on her page and said to the people who were worried about her: "Let me just explain something real quick. Britney Spears is from Louisiana and if you're from the South like me, I'm from Alabama, you can read this in a way that it's being said." She then goes on to read Britney's captions they were meant to be read — with emotion, truth, and a Southern accent.
Her video on 'translating' Britney's open letter to Jamie Lynn, her sister, got 8.2 million views with commenters astounded at how it "contextualized her writing." One commenter compared it to how Shakespeare is meant to be performed, not just read — "well, this was that for me." Another pointed out that "this was a popular way to text like 12 years ago and she hasn't been able to post herself in that long so." Over the last few days, Thomas has translated every caption from Britney's Instagram feud with her sister, becoming some of her most popular content.
Regardless of whether Britney did intend it to sound the way Thomas read it, Twitter user Britmebaby reminds fans, "By the way less than 10 Instagram posts of Britney Spears expressing her feelings on the abuse and mistreatment she endured is nothing in comparison to 13 years of being drugged, monitored, isolated from the world and forced to work so don't even bother starting."
