Britney Spears has dropped an important hint that she will be performing alongside Elton John in Glastonbury this weekend.
Music legend Elton, 76, will headline the iconic Pyramid Stage on Sunday, with husband David Furnish recently hinting the singer will be joined by four surprise guests.
And in a new Instagram post, Britney – who has been rumored to be joining Elton – shared a cryptic post that could well mean she’s putting on her wellies and heading to Worthy Farm.
The 41-year-old Baby One More Time hitmaker took to her social media on Thursday to upload an image of an apple carved into what appears to be the St George’s flag.
Additionally, she captioned the post with three Union Jack emojis, no doubt fueling the rumor mill further.

The star also shared a portrait of a McDonald’s meal alongside more Union Jack flags, further showing the collaboration.
Britney previously teamed up with Elton for her 2022 track “Hold Me Closer,” her first track since the end of her 13-year conservatory years.
In September last year, Elton said in an interview that he wanted to “boost Britney’s confidence” and hoped the duet would “give the push” for Britney to start recording new music.
Elton said he’s so happy for her because it allows her to get back to what she’s famous for: being a singer and an artist.
The Toxic singer is believed to be enjoying a holiday in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with husband Sam Asghari, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t catch a flight to the UK in time for a performance on Sunday.
After all, she recently drove her fans crazy when she published a timely post announcing that she was going on a “shopping trip” to London – although she has since deleted that post.
This comes after David Furnish revealed Elton will have four surprise guests at his Glastonbury headline show – his final UK appearance which will mark the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Speaking to Sky News presenter Beth Rigby, David said he was “sworn to secrecy” about the identity of the mystery acts but called Elton’s lead appearance “very special”.
There is much speculation that Harry Styles could be one of the mystery names to take the stage after fans realized there was a perfect gap on his own tour to make room for a surprise appearance.

Other rumored names include Dua Lipa, Rina Sawayama and Lil Nas X, who is already booked to perform at the festival just ahead of him.
David said, “Four collaborators of his choice.” Guys, he just thought, “I’d really like to do something with these artists in Glastonbury.” And that’s all I’m going to say.
When asked who they might be, Furnish added: “Sorry. I am sworn to secrecy.
“This one is very special. “It’s not just another day in office,” David said to Beth. “It’s a different setlist – it’s a huge outdoor live festival.”
“He has four different employees on stage at different times, whose names I unfortunately do not want to mention.”
“So he’s made a lot of changes.” He’s busy, so I think he’s worried. Yes, but I think well, anxious, healthy anxious.”
David added that despite the end of Elton’s farewell tour, he has no plans to retire entirely and will be working on a new album in the fall.
He joked, “I don’t think he’s going to be sitting on the sofa with a remote control.”
“He’ll be back in the studio in October and starting his next album.” Which will be great. He hasn’t made a studio album in a long time.’
