Britney Spears did a little "reflecting" on Instagram yesterday, sharing a photo of what was left after a fire destroyed her home gym in 2020.
The photo shows the gym equipment—kettlebells, treadmills, a BOSU ball and either a stationary bike or elliptical—covered in soot and ash. Everything else in the gym was charred and nearly unrecognizable.
The singer captioned her photo:
"Reflecting back remembering when I burnt the gym down in 2020 😉🤔 !!!"
You can see the aftermath below.
CNN reported on the incident in April 2020 after Spears explained in a now-deleted post what transpired.
“Hi guys, I’m in my gym right now. I haven’t been in here for like six months because I burnt my gym down, unfortunately."
“I had two candles, and yeah, one thing led to another, and I burned it down."
She continued:
“I walked past the door to the gym and flames BOOM !!!!!! By the Grace of God the alarm went off after that and yippy hoorah nobody got hurt."
“Unfortunately now I have only two pieces of equipment left lol and a one-sided mirror gym."
The "Circus" singer finished:
“But it could be much worse so I’m grateful.”
Fans learning of the incident for the first time agreed, and shared their relief that Spears was not injured.
