Britney Spears burned down her home gym on accident

Don't you hate it when you burn down your home gym and have to wait six months for it to be rebuilt? Britney Spears — who, it must be said, has been giving us some truly phenomenal quarantine content — admitted in an Instagram video Wednesday that she hasn't been in her exercise room for half a year because "I had two candles and, yeah, one thing lead to another and I burnt it down." It happens!

In her caption, Spears elaborated that "I walked past the door to the gym and flames BOOM!!!!!!" but that "by the grace of God the alarm went off" and nobody was hurt. Alas, she only has "two pieces of equipment left," and you can watch her whole pared down workout here.
