Christina Aguilera is living her best life in Italy. Summer might be over, but the "Drive Me Crazy" singer is still soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the ocean. On Tuesday, the pop icon shared a gallery of photos and videos from a recent yacht trip in Portofino, where she popped bottles, danced on the boat, and enjoyed time with her fiancé Matthew Rutler and a couple of friends.

The first slide was Aguilera dancing to Slayyyter's "DANCE..." on the stern of the boat in an all-white fit. She showed off her incredible moves while whipping her blonde ponytail around.

She finished the video with a hilarious video of her legs up and wide open as the boat's wake created a NSFW illusion.

Aguilara's been posting from Europe since September 21, when she was in Monaco. She took the stage at the 20th Anniversary Gala of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation on September 18, 2026, and spent a few days there before heading to Italy.

She's been sharing updates from her trip, and one thing has been constant in the comments - fans begging her to drop another album. "Drop a new album with this vibes," someone wrote on her recent post. "WHERE'S THE MUSIC?????" and "release new songs! We don’t need an entire album, just some songs," are among some of the comments on her posts. 

Others have defended her, saying she's living her best life. "Guys, stop asking her for an album! y’all gonna stop streaming after 2 weeks as you did with Liberation, and she does not need the stress," someone wrote. "She’s given us enough; I love seeing she’s happy and enjoying her life." 

On another post, someone wrote, "Would I love a new album? Yes! But I cannot blame her for living her best life! She has worked hard enough! Enjoy yourself, mom, and come back when it feels right for you." 

But Aguilera has already confirmed music is on its way. While speaking to the Mirror in August, she explained she's juggling motherhood and her career. “It’s all brewing between motherhood and everything," she said. "When I’m in album mode and when I want to record, I literally can’t have other distractions"

 "I have some incredible ideas that are coming to life, and a documentary that’s been in the works coincided with the album. I’m very excited," she added. 

The last time she released music was  "My Favorite Things" and "Someday at Christmas" in 2025 for her project Christmas in Paris. Prior to that was her 2023 single "Learning to Fly," and her last album was Aguilera in 2022.
