Britney Spearsfans living the U.S. will have to catch a flight if they hope to ever see her perform in person again.
The 44-year-old pop star says she's ruled out any future shows in the States, although she didn't provide much explanation why, telling her followers it was "because of extremely sensitive reasons."
"Sending this piano to my son this year!!!" Spears began the caption of anInstagram post she shared on Thursdayfeaturing a photo of her performance of "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" at the 29th Annual American Music Awards in 2002.
She then explained why she posts so many videos of her dancing on Instagram. "Interestingly enough, I dance on IG to heal things in my body that people have no idea about," she wrote. "Yup, and it's embarrassing sometimes... but I walked through the fire to save my life."

"He's a huge star, and I'm so humbled to be in his presence!!!" she concluded. "God speed [sic], little man!!!"
