Paris Hilton shows support for Britney Spears as singer cries while dancing

Britney Spears has once again been publicly supported by long-time pal Paris Hilton after the singer shed tears during her latest Instagram upload.

The songstress, 40, regularly shares videos of her showing off her dance moves to tunes at home but emotions ran high in her recent video as she couldn't hold back the tears.

But she made it extremely clear it was anything but a "breakdown" and instead called it the "release that I've needed for a very long time".

In the clip, Brit fills her performance full of energy and is seen singing along and smiling as she spins to the rhythm of the beat. But near the end of the clip, she is seen covering her face with her hands shaking before staring at the camera with tearful eyes.

The pop princess explained in the caption for the video: "It’s been a while since I’ve cried on camera !!! It’s not a breakdown a**holes, it’s a release that I’ve needed for a very long time now !!! Spiritual experience for sure !!!

"I think I need to do that way more !!! Psss… bawling !!! End pssss …"

A day earlier, as Britney posted a number of shots in revealing outfits from 2021, Paris used the same emoji while also writing: "Beauty."
