Unease Surrounds Britney Spears & Sam Asghari's First Anniversary; Singer Picks Her All-Time Favorite Track
In an unanticipated move, pop legend Britney Spears deactivated her Instagram account shortly before celebrating her first wedding anniversary with husband Sam Asghari.
Page Six reports that the "Baby One More Time" singer went offline on June 8, a day shy of her one-year marriage milestone with Asghari. The duo exchanged vows on June 9, 2022, at Spears' Thousand Oaks residence, amid a throng of celebrity guests.
While Spears' sudden social media absence raised eyebrows, Asghari penned a heartfelt anniversary tribute on his Instagram stories.
One image showcased the couple's wedding bands as their left hands tenderly touched against a muted backdrop. The "Toxic" star sported a sizeable diamond solitaire and a stylish manicure while Asghari, wearing a sleek black watch and modest ring, captioned the photo, "Happy 1 year anniversary to me and my better half."
His second slide offered an intimate glimpse into their wedding, featuring images and a video of the event, including a snapshot of Britney in her Cinderella-inspired carriage. The wedding highlights were beautifully set to an enchanting rendition of "Fools Rush In."
"One year married to the woman of my dreams," Asghari expressed in his post.
The motivation behind Spears' decision to deactivate her account on the eve of such a personal celebration remains enigmatic.
In related news, Britney Spears recently revealed her top pick from her extensive music portfolio. Despite boasting a discography filled with pop anthems like "Oops!... I Did It Again," "Toxic," and "Womanizer," she surprised fans by selecting an album track that was never released as a single as her favorite.
Her latest Instagram post featured a video of her performing a dance routine to "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)" from her critically acclaimed fifth studio album, "Blackout." Despite her assertion that the video/track is "not that great," Spears declared the Danja and Jim Beans-produced electro-pop hit to be "my favorite song I've ever done."
In the same post, she reassured followers that "things aren't too bad," revealing plans to head to London "next week to go shopping." Fans and critics often regard "Blackout," which features the hit singles "Gimme More," "Piece of Me," and "Break the Ice," as one of Spears' most impactful albums for its groundbreaking production and influence on pop music.
