Britney Spears Taking A Break From Music 'For A While' After New Album Release

posted in: Music News • Pop

Britney Spears has been making music for 14 years at this point, and this December she will release her eighth studio album when Britney Jean arrives in stores. Having conquered the world – multiple times – one might wonder what Ms. Spears is planning next. Her answer? Take a (well-deserved) break.

Speaking with BBC Radio 1 recently, the vocalist revealed that she plans to take a lengthy break from music following the release of her new album and completion of her upcoming Las Vegas residency. When asked whether or not she ever imagined she would be making music over a decade after her debut, Britney replied:

“No I never did, I never felt that. Never in my wildest dreams… I’ll take a break after this one for a while.”

As we mentioned above, Britney fans worried they missed their chance to see pop’s reigning queen should find some comfort in knowing Britney has at least another year of work before she can truly take a break. Her Vegas residency, which is slated to begin December 27, reportedly requires Ms. Spears to perform at least 50 times in the upcoming year. If you want to hear “Hit Me Baby (One More Time)” live, now would be a good time to visit Priceline and seek out vacation packages.
