Britney Spears is sharing a rare insight into how she "escapes realities" by reading books you're "not supposed to talk about".

After her viral sunroof stunt at a busy highway, the 44-year-old popstar took to her Instagram account and shared a reflective social media post on her passion for reading fiction books.

Along with a video of her dancing, she wrote, "Does anyone believe in mythology.. vampires, ghost, mermaids the things ur not supposed to talk about… why are those the exact topics that serve real interest..

"Other worlds, the ocean is the most mysterious.. watching too much of the discovery channel of course, very few people can go to the deepest parts so much has not been seen."

She contiued, "There’s so much we still don’t know beyond treasure… I feel like perhaps there might be different worlds there!!!!

"I’m a dreamer… I’ve read millions of books about it in fiction but it’s fun to escape realities… the gift of literally destroying a book in 20 minutes almost eating the pages with your teeth cus your so f****** into is why I’m here… (sic)."

The "Oops!... I Did It Again" hitmaker added, "The gift of departing the world and going into a story and characters that you literally fall in love with that aren’t even real, and it’s up to you the reader and the reader itself to go with and either scream, laugh, feel, cry and fall in love with emotions on such a divine level is such a gift!!"

She also shared how, while reading a book, she changed into a skirt and shirt, which can be seen donning in the video posted along the caption, and felt “6 or 7 years old” for a while.

"Do you think we can do that as people age backwards at the drop of a hat out of nowhere?" Britney asked before adding that "the mysteries of the universe are beyond my comprehension."
