India, July 15 -- Britney Spears had her fans confused with a viral Instagram post over the weekend. The star claimed that she had adopted a baby girl named Lennon London Spears. But sources close to the pop star told TMZ it was all just a joke. On July 13, Britney shared a video of herself dancing in a pink one-piece swimsuit, black knee-high boots, and a wide-brimmed hat.

The caption? "I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl !!! Her name is Lennon London Spears."

She added that the "baby" was wearing a dress that read "I'm NEW HERE !!!" along with several laughing and winking emojis.

The playful tone stood out, but that didn't stop fans from wondering if she had really adopted a child.
