Britney Spears is speaking out amid tabloid reports that she lit a cigarette aboard a plane.
In an Instagram post May 23, the "Piece of Me" singer explained that she "said 'I want a cigarette so bad'" while on the airplane, writing to fans that she craved one while it was her "first time drinking VODKA."
'My friend put (a cigarette) in my mouth and lit it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!' the "Hold It Against Me" hitmaker wrote.
The "Toxic" chart-topper said she didn't mean to upset airplane staff, writing that "I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways."
Media outlets reported that Spears was on board a JSX charter plane during the incident, but the company declined to comment further to USA TODAY on May 24. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Spears for comment.
The pop star has been lying low in recent years after a Los Angeles judge terminated her 13-year-long controversial conservatorship in November 2021.
After drinking the vodka, the "Women in Me" author said she thought, "what the heck is in there" and "felt so clear and smart."

Britney Spears smoking: Star says flight attendant wanted to 'embarrass' her
At first, the former "X Factor" judge said when "officials greeted me as support," she "was like WOW I feel special" but later Spears realized that "the flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette."
Spears revealed in her caption that she thought the flight attendant wanted to "embarrass" her which she "thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane."
Britney Spears' posts have some fans concerned. There's a right way to talk about it.
"Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up. She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird," Spears explained. "I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space."

CNN anchor Jake Tapper caught on hot mic during Trump, Putin coverage: 'Give me my show'
CNN anchor Jake Tapper was caught on a hot mic during the network's special Aug. 15 coverage of President Donald Trump's summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Tapper, who usually hosts his two-hour program "The Lead" from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST from Washington, D.C., was live Friday in Alaska, when his colleague Anderson Cooper attempted to throw it back to him. "I'm fine, just give me my show back," Tapper said, seemingly expressing his frustration while failing to realize he was live. The hot mic moment was shared on X by conservative NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck. A smiling Cooper then quipped, "Show's back!" Ooops CNN hot mic catches an angry Jake Tapper!! 'Allison Cooper': Trump calls CNN anchor Anderson Cooper 'Allison' in rant After the awkward exchange, Tapper welcomed Sen. Adam Schiff to the show, but the California Democrat couldn't hear the CNN host. "I think I lost you," Schiff said. Tapper then told the audience that "we're having real comms problems today. I'm sorry about that. If anybody can hear me, let's go throw it back to New York." At that point, Cooper again took over, saying "Okay, Jake, thanks very much." USA TODAY reached out to reps for Cooper, Tapper and CNN for comment. At the Alaska summit, Trump and Putin failed to achieve a major breakthrough in peace negotiations over Russia's war against Ukraine. Tapper occasionally becomes frustrated during on-air coverage. In 2020, Tapper played Lara Trump's remarks at a "Women for Trump" 2020 campaign event about former President Joe Biden during her interview on "State of the Union." "Every time he comes on stage and they turn to him, I'm like: 'Joe, can you get it out. Let's get the words out,'" Trump said. Tapper then asked, "How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?" Trump then responded that she did not know Biden had a stutter, which was a well-documented disability of the then-presidential candidate. "I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to," Trump said. Tapper then shut down the interview, telling Trump that she had "absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline." In May, Tapper revealed that he had apologized to Trump about the incident. That same month, Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios released a controversial book "Original Sin" that explored the physical and cognitive decline of Biden during his presidency. The book received significant backlash from certain liberal and center corners of the political spectrum. Contributing: James Powel
