Shocking actions of Britney Spears caught on camera… as close friends reveal new ‘suffering’ that drove her to sell her music

by

She has one of the most iconic discographies in pop music. 

So why, then, did Britney Spears feel compelled to sell the hit songs that made her a legend? 

This week, it was revealed that the 44-year-old singer has made a massive deal with Primary Wave, selling the rights to her entire music catalog for a reported $200 million. The size of the deal is sure to have surprised many.

Just a few days after that, Britney Spears was seen driving her Mercedes SUV and seemed to be breaking the law by talking on her cell phone while driving.

On Thursday, she was seen driving around Los Angeles and seemingly talking on her phone, which is against California law. The state’s ‘No Touch’ law (Vehicle Code 23123.5) prohibits drivers from using handheld devices while operating a vehicle.

This isn’t the first time Spears has raised concerns. Recently, she was caught on video driving erratically, briefly drifting into the wrong lane after an evening out. At the time, people close to her worried she was struggling emotionally, especially following the release of her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s book.

Sources close to Britney Spears have told the Daily Mail that her recent decision to sell her music catalog likely stems from her significant spending habits.

I’m really worried about Britney, and I’ve heard from someone close to the situation that things might be even tougher than we thought. Apparently, there’s a real possibility her singing career is over, which just breaks my heart. It’s a harsh truth, but it seems like she’s facing that possibility now.

A source told the Daily Mail that selling her music catalog was a smart move for Britney, as it’s unlikely she’ll return to making music, and everyone needs to accept that reality – including Britney herself.

It’s been ages since Britney gave us a proper album – 2016’s ‘Glory’ feels like a lifetime ago! And she hasn’t toured the US since the ‘Piece of Me’ shows in 2017, which honestly, is killing me. Everyone keeps saying she’ll never perform again, and it’s just… I can’t even think about it! I desperately need new music and to see her on stage again!

As recently as January 2026, she stated she has no plans to return to music. However, she’s suggested she might perform again in the future, possibly with her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline.

Since their divorce in 2007, Spears has consistently paid a large amount of money each month to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, with whom she shares her sons, Jayden and Sean Preston, who are now 20 years old.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen how financial obligations can really add up, and Britney Spears’ situation is a prime example. For almost 20 years, she consistently paid around $20,000 each month for child support. That amount actually increased in 2018, and when you add it all up, it’s estimated she contributed around $5 million total. It just shows how significant these long-term costs can be.

The payments stopped, however, in 2024 when her youngest son turned 18.

Even though she’s not releasing new popular songs, sources say she’s still able to make money.

Although the specifics of the agreement – said to have been finalized on December 30th – aren’t fully known, these types of catalog sales usually affect royalties and licensing rights, but generally don’t change an artist’s ability to perform their songs in concert.

She could technically continue performing live, revisiting her classic hits, much like she did during her four-year show in Las Vegas, “Britney: Piece of Me,” which lasted from 2013 to 2017.

The question is: would she? 

According to a source, she’s struggling financially since her Las Vegas shows ended. While those performances were incredibly lucrative, they’ve been over for years. Returning to Vegas to perform would provide a stable income, but it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to put in the effort.

As one source explained, celebrities like Jennifer Lopez continue to work because they need to maintain their income.

After all, Spears, they added, ‘isn’t making money spinning around in her living room every day.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following Britney’s situation closely, and it’s clear while she’s financially secure, her income streams have shifted. She’s no longer actively touring or performing, which were huge sources of revenue. Now, she’s relying more on things like her perfume and her recent book to bring in money – which is perfectly fine, but a different landscape than before.

Britney Spears received a $15 million advance for her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, but a source tells us she’s still working to earn more money.

According to a source, Britney spends excessively on travel and clothes, and maintains a large staff, without any apparent financial constraints.

Okay, so everyone’s been saying Britney’s struggling financially, but I just read something that totally makes sense! Apparently, she’s actually doing fine, and this whole catalog sale thing isn’t about needing the money. It’s just smart timing! The market is booming right now for music rights, so she’s selling while the price is high. Honestly, it’s a relief to hear! I knew she was a smart businesswoman, and this proves it!

The main reason for the sale is streaming revenue,” the source explained. “She’ll actually earn more from streaming services by selling her music catalog now.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Spears for comment.

Meanwhile, industry analysts say that the sale will significantly boost Spears’s overall net worth.

Before the agreement, Forbes estimated her net worth at about $60 million, significantly less than other people she used to be compared to who were billionaires. Now, with this reported payment, her wealth is estimated to be around $150 million.

This deal puts Spears alongside many established artists who have recently started profiting from their older music. However, her catalogue is considered one of the most valuable in contemporary pop music.

I’ve been watching her career since her very first hit, “…Baby One More Time” back in 1999 – it was HUGE, selling over ten million copies and hitting number one for two weeks straight! And honestly, she hasn’t stopped since. Over nine albums, she’s consistently delivered hit after hit, earning multiple chart-toppers and going multi-platinum time and time again.

Her music has been widely recognized with nominations for Grammy, MTV Video Music, and Billboard Music Awards. It remains incredibly popular, racking up billions of streams on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Unlike many established artists who keep touring to earn money, Britney Spears seems ready to retire and enjoy the rewards of her success.

According to a source, it wasn’t hard to persuade her to close the deal, as the resulting $200 million would secure her financial future.

She’s reached a point where she doesn’t need to work or exert herself if she chooses not to, and that’s been the trend for the past few years.
