Is Britney Spears moving to Mexico? And how old did she actually turn this year?
These questions — among others — are haunting the minds of some of Britney’s fans and detractors after her birthday posts this week.
As you can see below, Britney’s videos seemed to once again make odd claims.
Is someone setting up Britney again, are people on social media just being weird, or does she really need help?

On Monday, December 2, Britney Spears celebrated her birthday.
The music superstar is now 43 years old!
Amidst a trip to Mexico with friends, she took to Instagram to celebrate the big day.
Britney shared on social media how she and friends had enjoyed “red lips and delicious wine” ahead of her birthday dinner.
She also showcased her “very cute baby cake,” one that boasted a top of chopped strawberries all enclosed within a chocolate lattice.
Notably, this is not Britney’s first birthday getaway to Mexico. She celebrated turning 40 in Cabo San Lucas. Mexico has been one of Britney’s favored getaways since she regained control of her life.

Is Britney Spears moving to Mexico? Did she claim to be 5 years old?
In Britney’s video, her voice sounds like it has an altered pitch. She doesn’t explain the altered voice, but indirectly acknowledges it.
Britney jokes that, instead of “turning 42,” she will be turning 5 years old and must soon begin kindergarten.
While this is a clear reference to the higher pitch to her voice in the video, some apparently believed that she was in a state of psychological regression. Or something

As for the bit about Mexico, this part’s a little more realistic, even if it likely isn’t true.
Britney jokes that she is moving to Mexico after decades of harassment by paparazzi in the United States.
In multiple posts, she has brought up how unflattering — as if by design — the images of her that photographers snap and tabloids publish can be.

What’s going on?
Recent reports agree that Britney is doing well these days. She’s taking care of her health, both mentally and physically. For over a dozen years, she had no control over her own healthcare.
Or vacations, for that matter. Britney — as an adult mother-of-two and millionaire — had to receive her father’s permission to go on vacation.
She’s not 5. She’s probably not moving to Mexico. But there are definitely people poised to take every goofy joke that Britney posts as some sort of desperate cry for help. One has to wonder why that is.
