In a bizarre turn of events, Britney Spears revealed on Instagram how she locked herself in her bathroom in the middle of the night.

The "Lucky" singer shared a photo of her bathroom door with a very long strange story of what happened:

"At 2am I decided to take a bath 🛁 !!!! I got a new scented lotion from Victoria’s Secret and I wanted to wear it because it helps me sleep better !!!! I went to the bathroom and looked at my leftover coffee from earlier in the morning and said 'gross' but didn’t throw it away and then I looked for my face wash but couldn’t find it anywhere !!!! I was caught up in my head looking for it for about 15 minutes and then realized it’s probably in the other bathroom … then I went to leave and the door was locked 🔒 … I thought ok well it’s a bathroom, I can open the damn door 🚪 … no, the lock was stuck !!!! I got locked in the f----ing bathroom and my boyfriend was sleeping 😴 … even if there are earthquakes he doesn't wake up 😂🙄😬 !!! I screamed 'HEYYYYY!!!! Come open this stupid door !!!!' …. silence … the fourth time he gets up and says 'What’s wrong?' ... I said 'I’m in here and I can’t get out 😂😂😂😒😒😒 !!!! He tried to do his thing to open the door with a PEN ✒️ … so I got my phone and called security to tell them to open the door 🚪 … 15 minutes went by and they finally said they’d send someone up to open the door … 10 minutes later …. 'HELLO ??? Is anybody there ???' … then they told me 10 more minutes !!! I cleaned the bathroom and thought about taking a shower or something but then I saw it … the door 🚪 … I just looked at it for the first time with a yearning of just wanting it to open … would my eyes trick me and make it happen faster ??? My eyes widened and the door was more clear … more vast … I could see it with clarity and brightness … please open door 🚪 !!!! 'We’re here!' They said … I asked how long it would take to open … and they said 'oh, maybe 10 minutes' !!!! The old coffee I had left over from the morning was there … I started feeling foggy 😶‍🌫️ so I drank it ... I was reenergized and started speaking again!!! 'Are you guys there ???' … 'Yes we are!' They said, 'Stand back, we’re going to open the door!' It opened … it finally opened !!!!!"

Fans had varying reactions to the singer's post:

Miley Cyrus took it as a joke and wrote, "They Free’d Britney for real!"

Many #FreeBritney supporters thought of the story as a metaphor with one writing, "Hmm sounds like a metaphor of what’s happening in her life."

Another with the same theory wrote, "I feel like this is a metaphor for her "door" finally opening to speak out after being held silent for so long. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but either way LOVE YOU BRITNEY 💕💕 #freebritney"
