What is Project Rose? Britney Spears fans believe 'there's some deeper meaning' behind the secret project

The Grammy-winning pop icon took to her Instagram stories to give an explanation to her 26.3 million followers as soon as the news spread

Britney Spears has been in the headlines for quite some time now as her fans believe the pop star is being held captive in her conservatorship. In fact, fans are closely scrutinizing her Instagram posts and other social media interaction for even the slightest hint of trouble or sign from Britney. Her conservatorship came under fire after anonymous sources revealed that the singer was allegedly held against her will at a psychiatric facility since January 2019. Soon, everybody started questioning the length of her conservatorship and how her father Jamie has full control over the singer's finances and her estates. This fueled the #FreeBritney movement on social media. Her fans think the American pop star is being caged in her own home and most of her social media profiles are controlled by her team.

Now, #FreeBritney fan movement is again on the rise after they noticed the 38-year-old singer-songwriter has posted on her official Instagram account wearing the same peasant-style white blouse in at least 17 pictures. The Grammy-winning pop icon took to her Instagram stories to give an explanation to her 26.3 million followers as soon as the news caught fire.

But their fears were soon allayed by the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker. In a self-made video, she talked to her fans where she spilled the beans. She confessed about wearing the same white top 17 times in her photos adding that it is meant for her new project called ‘Project Rose’. Britney, whose posts are often captioned with rose emoji, continued to explain that these similar photos, also showing her with a rose crown in her hair from her "mini rose garden," are part of  Project Rose. Text below the video then confirmed that Project Rose "is a personal photo project...GET READY FOR MORE ON MY INSTAGRAM!!!" she added.

When earlier she showed up wearing the white blouse, fans were worried she had been crying. One fan had questioned if she will come LIVE on Instagram to show she‘s okay, whereas one user stated, “She looks like she has been crying.” Seems like the singer has granted her fans' requests. “A lot of people have been saying that a lot of my posts are not new but they're old. But just to let you guys know, none of my pictures or posts are more than a month old.” She concluded, “Yes, I know. I did wear the same top 17 times, but it's for a project - Project Rose. And you will be seeing way more of Project Rose in the future.”

Reacting to her explanation, fans quickly logged into their Twitter account to discuss the hot topic. Speaking on the same, one fan said, “I feel like there's some deeper meaning behind this project rose.”

One fan tweeted, “Her Instagram account is controlled by her team, yes, but she also has access to the account. I don't think Britney's team made this video. Also, I don't think Jamie will be interested in her Instagram account after the last trial. I'm so happy to hear Britney's voice, I'll cry.”

Sharing the same feeling, another fan stated, “I think they made her do this video to make us know that they are going to post that same pic all over again and probaby to make us think that this is normal while brit is actually locked up in those places where they leave her.”

One fan asserted, “She has been looking and sounding a bit nervous in her latest videos... I don't think it's because of any conspiracy or whatever, it's def because all the legal battles lately must be exhausting for her.”

Looking at the fan’s reactions, it is pretty evident that the #FreeBritney movement is not stopping anytime soon and any amount of explanations from the star does not seem to work. Britney has been posting a lot of photos recently where she has been hinting at her special Project Rose. Interestingly, Britney also spoke about the rose in a June 26 post with the caption, “Just like the fragility of a rose. We are all sensitive people longing for one thing - love.” Back in July, Britney seemed to shut down speculation over her having no control of her social media accounts by saying she was being "authentic." Spears then posted a 1.26 a.m. time-stamped photo she stated was taken on August 6. Britney then wrote: "And to the peeps who think I’m posting the same pics …… well you know us girls …... it’s the same top and same hair but if you look at the details it’s a completely different picture 💋💋💋💋💋 !!!!!"

The #FreeBritney campaign Change.org petition has already amassed more than 107,500 signatures in the past year and it has also got a positive response from celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Ariel Winter, Ruby Rose and Paris Hilton as well as the American Civil Liberties Union.
