Britney Spears Teases Big Announcement on ‘The Ellen Show’

Britney Spears has an announcement to make…but she’s not making it yet.

The pop star stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Oct. 12 to share some news, with host Ellen DeGeneres announcing Spears’ arrival by joking that she doesn’t have to go to red carpets to see celebrities, since she can get them on her show anytime she wants.

After Spears walked on stage to massive cheers from the audience, the mom of two declared, “I actually have a huge announcement to make.”

DeGeneres happily obliged and asked her what that announcement is, but Spears’ answer wasn’t exactly informative.

“My announcement is actually that I have an announcement,” she said. “I can’t the announce the announcement until October 18.”

“You’re a bit early,” DeGeneres cracked, looking at her watch.

Whatever Spears’ news may be, it will be revealed on DeGeneres’ YouTube channel on Oct. 18, and fans immediately went into overdrive speculating about what Spears’ big announcement could be.

Some tweeted that they think new music is on the way, guessing that the Louisiana native will be announcing her tenth studio album.

Spears’ last album, Glory, was released in August 2016 and spawned singles “Make Me…” and “Slumber Party.”

Some wondered if the 36-year-old would be revealing that she is returning to Las Vegas for another residency.

The singer previously held a residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino from December 2013 to December 2017 and has since been touring the show.

Others joked that Spears’ announcement wouldn’t actually involve her music at all.

Whatever Spears is announcing, fans will have to wait until Thursday to find out.
