Britney Spears revealed she accidentally burned down her home gym in a hilariously honest video posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

"Hi guys, I'm in my gym right now, I haven't been in here for six months because I burnt my gym down, unfortunately," the singer said while standing in the remains of her former workout space.

According to Spears, an accident with some candles was what caused the fire.

"I had two candles, and... yeah. One thing led to another, and I burnt it down," Spears explained, adding that she only has two pieces of equipment left unscathed. She spent the rest of the video doing various exercise moves in her gym and on a balcony in her home.

The "Toxic" singer elaborated a bit more on the accident in the caption for her video, telling followers, "I walked past the door to the gym and [saw] flames... BOOM!!!!!!" Luckily, Spears revealed, the fire alarm went off and "nobody got hurt."

"It could be much worse so I'm grateful," Spears wrote in her caption, revealing that she likes "working out better outside anyways."

On social media, fans of the singer expressed their amusement at Spears' dedication to fitness and casual way of discussing her accident.

"She's so chill about burning down her gym. Homegirl just hops right into her arm lifts lol," one commenter wrote under Spears' Instagram post, while another just said, "Love this queen!!"

And on Twitter, fans praised the singer, calling the fire a "2020 mood."

This isn't the first time a hilarious story from Spears has amused fans and casual followers alike. In March, the singer shared on Instagram that she'd run a 100-meter dash in just under six seconds — which would make her the fastest person in the world, outrunning famous athletes like Usain Bolt (who can run a 100-meter dash in about 10 seconds).

After Spears was met with surprised reactions, she clarified in a subsequent video that "obviously I was joking about running the 100 meter dash in 5.97 seconds …. the world record is held by Usain Bolt which is 9.58 seconds."

Even though the pop star backtracked on her original claim, fans of Spears still expressed their support and admiration for the hilarious singer on social media.
