The Princess of Pop told her Instagram followers on Monday that the “really dangerous” incident took place six months prior.

“I was in my room, I turned the fire on, and all of the sudden, it blew up in my face,” the singer, 42, recalled while “talking in a British accent.”

The “Crossroads” star noted that since her fireplace had “done [that] before,” she usually gets her security to “come in and light it for” her.

“But this time, I just threw the whole thing in there, and it literally blew into my face,” Spears said, adding that the “person [she] was with just would not wake up.”

It also resulted in “baby bangs,” which she showed off via Instagram Monday. britneyspears/Instagram The singer recalled feeling like her “face was on fire.” britneyspears/Instagram

She claimed, “It took all my eyelashes off, my eyebrows and — see these baby bangs? These are from … it sizzl[ing] all my hair.”

At the time, the Grammy winner worried she had second or third-degree burns and thought she was “gonna have to go to the emergency room because [her] face was, like, on fire.”

Spears explained, “It hurt to touch my phone. It hurt to put ice on my face. It hurt [to have] anything touch it. This happened for, like, six or seven hours. … The pain never went away. It was so, so, so bad.”

Finally, the performer took three Tylenol, which she called a “really, really big deal” and compared to “f–king Vicodin,” and was able to go to sleep.

“Yeah, it was really bad,” Spears concluded. “All is good now.”

Last year, the dancer opened up about the fire she accidentally started with candles in her home gym, showing off the charred remnants via Instagram.

“I walked past the door to the gym and flames, BOOM !!!!!!” Spears wrote in December 2023. “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!!!!

“But it could be much worse so I’m grateful,” she continued at the time. “Pssss I like working out better outside anyways!!!!”
