Forget last night's baseball rain delay that, as Simon Cowell so eloquently put it, caused a "total f up." It doesn't matter. Forget L.A. Reid (if you haven't already). All that matters is this dramatic turn of the head, courtesy of the one and only Britney Spears.

If you want context, it happened during last night's (abbreviated) X Factor, right after Brit eliminated some poor sucker of a child who thought his claim to fame would come courtesy of a televised singing competition. But does that explain the bizarre expression in the slightest? No.

If anything, this melodramatic swivel proves one thing: When Britney is fully unleashed on the live shows it is going to be highly entertaining. Or at least insanely GIF-able.
