"I haven't been in here for, like, six months because I burnt my gym down, unfortunately," she said as she stood in the gym, which appeared to have been restored. "I had two candles and, yeah, one thing led to another and I burned it down."

The "Lucky" singer gave more details in the caption for the two-minute-long clip, writing, "... I walked past the door to the gym and flames ... By the Grace of God the alarm went off after that and yippy hoorah nobody got hurt."

After opening up about the blaze, Spears shared a workout routine that could be completed with the "two pieces of equipment" she had left in her "one-sided mirror gym."

Overall, Wednesday was a busy day for the mother of two on the social media app. In addition to showing off her quarantine workout, she posted four other videos, in which she expressed how happy she is and how much she misses her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, among other things.

"I have been quarantining since I got back from Louisiana weeks ago …. so basically I haven’t seen my boyfriend @samasghari in what feels like a lifetime," she wrote. "I have actually lost weight from missing him …. now none of my pants or shorts fit."
