Britney Spears has made a confession. “I like rice!” she told Jonathan Ross of Great Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show in response to a question about whether or not she cooks. If Britney is indeed back, she’s a million times more back in the U.K. Over the past week or so, she’s traveled up and down London, spreading the Glory good word. With the publicity tour, Spears has let loose a number of light confessions, including her proclivity for the ancient grain.

Notice, Britney likes rice. She doesn’t go overboard with her compliment. She’s toiled under the lights for a long time, and because she’s a star, she knows that all that glitters is not gold. Spears is in her 30s now. She’s in a good place. She knows what she likes, and she likes rice.

And Brit doesn’t just like rice. She likes “all different kinds of rice.” Brown is a kind of rice. Basmati is another. There’s Jasmine and white and long-grained. On the outside, it’s such a simple pleasure, but sometimes when you boil it all down the most uncomplicated parts, you get a jambalaya. Isn’t that what it’s all about? “Gotta love rice,” she joked when she posted the clip to Instagram and Twitter. And you do. You gotta.

This is all to say, if you’ve been searching for mantra, a way to stay grounded and in the moment in these complicated times, consider, “I like rice!”
