Taking to her Instagram page on Wednesday, the Hit Me Baby One More Time singer shared a video of herself dancing to Justin's 2018 song Filthy and addressed their former relationship. "This is my version of Snapchat or TikTok or whatever the cool thing you're supposed to do these days," Britney wrote in the caption. "As you can see I'm not really dancing folks… I'm just very bored."
