One day after sharing a post about her newfound freedom, where Britney Spears said she wanted to be “feared” not “pitied,” she disabled her Instagram account yesterday (March 16), leaving fans concerned.

When one types in Spears’s Instagram handle, the app’s standard message for deactivated accounts reads, “Sorry, this page isn’t available.” Neither she nor her fiancé, Sam Asghari, have explained the absence, but it comes after Spears made it clear that she would be taking control of her own narrative from now on.

Confusion is moving fast among fans, with some concerned about her well-being. See what they had to say on Twitter below:

• She Probably Needs A Break

  She probably needs a break from social media. Y’all gotta remember, Britney is trying to heal from over a decade of trauma. Sometimes she needs a break from it all, including Instagram & all social media. I’m sure she will be back. She’s done this before.
