Summary
After a six-year hiatus, the Princess of Pop is back with new music. “Hold Me Closer,” the highly anticipated collab from Britney Spears and Elton John, has just dropped. And even though the world is celebrating Brit’s return to music, the pop star says she’s feeling a bit “overwhelmed” by it all, causing her to delete her Instagram in an attempt to prioritize her mental health. So will the success of this song nudge her back to the recording studio? Or is our "Tiny Dancer" still not ready?
