Britney Spears just revealed why she skipped this year’s Met Gala, and it’s so relatable

Since the end of Britney Spears‘ 13-year conservatorship, she’s been much more free to enjoy her life. She and longtime boyfriend Sam Ashgari have finally been properly able to celebrate their engagement by traveling (some of which she’s documented on Instagram, of course). She’s gotten an Australian shepherd puppy. She’s also been experimenting with different hair colors and a newfound love of makeup. But with this freedom to do a ton of new things also comes the freedom to stay in whenever you want, which is exactly what Britney exercised when it came to one of the biggest events on the year’s social calendar: the Met Gala

In the caption of a recent Instagram post, she explained why she opted out of attending the event this year. The post features a video of Britney standing in her living room wearing a printed red onesie and boots while her cat walks around behind her, and the text reads, “I was gonna go to Met Gala but instead I got in the tub with my dog and put pjs on 🐶😂 !!! I hate flying 🤷🏼‍♀️🌹🌹 !!!”

It’s true that flying isn’t exactly the most fun activity, and attending a large social gathering where you can expect that your picture will be taken at every turn can be anxiety-inducing. Knowing when you need bath-time, puppy cuddles, and pajamas instead is self-care, and often the right move for many of us — perhaps especially in these stressful times. Even if it would’ve been fun to know what she might’ve worn to the Met Gala, the most important thing is that she had a good night; though, we have to admit, we are a little curious about her bath-time routine. If you have any favorite candles or bath bombs you wanna share on your Instagram stories, Brit, we’re ready when you are.
