Britney Spears sparks concern with grill lighter on private jet for 43rd Birthday

On December 2, 2024, Britney Spears sparked concern when she was seen holding a grill lighter while boarding a private jet on her 43rd birthday. The pop icon, who recently finalized her divorce from Sam Asghari, appeared unfazed as she pressed the large red lighter against her lips while strolling across the tarmac.

The moment, caught by paparazzi, had many questioning why the singer was using a torch lighter, which typically isn't allowed on commercial aircraft. TSA regulations prohibit large flame-producing devices, such as grill lighters, on planes for safety reasons. While standard cigarette lighters are usually permitted, this raised concern about possible violations of aviation safety rules.

Spears was dressed in a chic white trench coat, plaid top, and knee-high boots, accessorized with a fedora and sunglasses, embodying her signature glamorous style. The singer seemed in high spirits, despite her unusual behavior. The day marked not only her birthday but also the legal finalization of her divorce from Sam Asghari, with whom she had been married for 14 months.

While the reason behind her grill lighter antics remains unknown, Spears' fans were quick to notice the oddity. Regardless, insiders report that Spears is focusing on her personal health and well-being, working with a therapist and taking steps to remain sober and emotionally stable.

As the year progresses, Britney continues to capture the public’s attention with her unique moments, all while navigating life after her conservatorship and embracing newfound freedom.
