Britney Spears is alive.
News of her death circulated Monday after a Twitter account for Sony Music was hacked.
“britney spears is dead by accident! we will tell you more soon,” read a tweet on the @SonyMusicGlobal account.
Hacker group OurMine took responsibility for the tweet, which has since been deleted.
"Sony Music Entertainment's Twitter account was compromised," the company explained in a statement. ”This has been rectified. Sony Music apologizes to Britney Spears and her fans for any confusion.”
