The real Sony Music Entertainment quickly deleted the tweets and issued an apology.

‘Sony Music Entertainment’s Twitter account was compromised. This has been rectified,’ it said.

‘Sony Music apologises to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion.’

Furthermore, Britney’s manager Adam Leber, told CNN that ‘Britney is fine and well.’

Phew!

Taking to Twitter herself, Britney posted a collage of herself making funny faces along with the caption ‘Don’t underestimate the power of Charlie’s,’ followed by an angel emoji in a reference to the hit ‘70s show Charlie’s Angels.
