Britney Spears has filmed herself flipping the bird as she makes another cheeky dig after throwing shade at her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
The 42-year-old singer once again showed off her dance moves on her Instagram page as she shared a new video on Tuesday morning.
Britney showed off her athletic figure in a red off-the-shoulder mini dress, which she paired with a red top hat and a pair of black heels.
She wore her blonde locks in loose waves and opted for a smoky eyeliner look to complete her glamorous ensemble.
Britney captioned the clip: “When this bird rises well…do you guess revelations?” You know! Ps. Hands on hips, honestly! Apologies in advance!

It came after Britney failed to contain herself while reacting to Justin Timberlake's performance of his dissident track “Cry Me A River” about their painful breakup.
Although she recently revealed that the song, released in 2002 after her three-year relationship ended, “shattered her heart” in her memoir “The Woman in Me,” the 42-year-old former NSYNC frontman surprised audiences by sharing the malicious ballad about an unfaithful lover sang.
While the singer acknowledged the controversial decision to include the song on the setlist of his show at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, he said before his performance that he meant “no disrespect,” presumably to Spears.
In response, the mother of two took to Instagram to recall some past memories of the 10-time Grammy winner, portraying him as a sore loser and a mediocre athlete.
“I never mentioned how I beat him at basketball,” she wrote on Instagram, before recalling how “he cried” when he lost games to her.
Although she didn't specifically say she was referring to Timberlake, the performer ended her lengthy caption with the words “No disrespect,” the same phrase he said on stage earlier this week.
Spears previously claimed in her book that the song made her look like a “whore who broke the heart of America's golden boy.”

She also criticized him for using the song to fuel the narrative that her infidelity destroyed their relationship – while maintaining silence about his own unfaithful behavior.
On Friday morning, a source told that Spears “appreciated” that her ex acknowledged the controversy surrounding the Grammy-winning song, but still hasn't received a personal apology from him.
“The disrespect towards Britney dates back a long time and while she appreciates his recognition of it, Justin has never personally called or reached out to her to apologize,” the insider told exclusively.
“He's never discussed this with her.” Always. Britney continued with this and writing her book enabled her to get it published. She is good.'
It was previously reported that Justin didn't want to comment on the allegations so as not to “get in the way” of Britney's chance to finally share her story.
In her recent memoir, Spears wrote about how she felt speechless after her ex released his Top 5 hit, effectively supporting his narrative that he was the wronged party in their breakup. The couple dated from 1999 to 2002.
“I felt at the time that there was no way to tell my side of the story,” she wrote. “I couldn't explain it because I knew no one would be on my side once Justin convinced the world of his version. I don't think Justin realized the power he had when he shamed me. I don’t think he understands it to this day.”
Justin also delved into the making of Cry Me A River and the impact his relationship with Britney had on it in his 2018 memoir Hindsight.
“I was despised. I was mad. “This feeling inspired me to write Cry Me A River,” he wrote.

But he was more reserved in an apology he shared on social media in February 2021, after Britney's fans began mobilizing to try to end her 13-year conservatorship and a damaging New York Times documentary – the was not authorized by Spears – her conservatorship examined their relationship and the fallout from their breakup.
“I understand that I fell short in these and many other moments… I would like to apologize specifically to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson individually because I care and respect these women and I know I have failed.” he said, while also referencing renewed criticism he received for his role in the “wardrobe malfunction” during his performance with Janet at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.
Although he reportedly took full part in the show, which included ripping off part of Janet's outfit to expose one of her breasts, his career continued to rise steeply while hers suffered for years.
Britney's conservatorship was dissolved nine months later, in November 2021.
The singer opened up in her new book, which also revealed that Justin ended their relationship via text message and that she had an abortion in 2000 because the N*Sync star “didn't want to be a father.”
Justin was among the many stars invited to celebrate the opening of the Fontainebleau this week.
In addition to Cry Me A River, he also performed SexyBack, Rock Your Body and his Trolls anthem Can't Stop The Feeling.

The last song of the evening was Mirrors, which was featured on his album The 20/20 Experience.
Justin previously wrote about writing the song in honor of Jessica Biel, whom he married in 2012.
“We lived together back then. We weren't engaged yet. In fact, it took me years before I proposed to her…” he shared, before pointing out how his grandparents set an example for him marrying her.
“The video became a dedication to my grandparents.” From them I learned about lasting love. “I know that’s what I have with my wife…” he gushed.
“She changed me. She changed my life. All of this is in Mirrors. Not the details. But how did it feel when she touched my life.”
