A couple of days ago, on September 25, Britney Spears continued to post videos of her dancing on Instagram. However, this time she demonstrated her movements with knives. Some saw this as cause for concern, but as Spears noted in the caption, “I started playing with knives in the kitchen today!!! Don’t worry, these are NOT real knives!!! Halloween is coming!!!”
However, as TMZ notes, the video from Spears’ next post shows her wearing a bandage on her forearm and a cut on her thigh, possibly from dancing with a knife. Regardless, Spears wants people to calm down about all of this, and she explained the motivation behind the video.
In the caption of another dance video (this time without knives) posted yesterday, Spears wrote: “Forget the knives, I’m copying Shakira!!!”
As some fans suspected, Spears was indeed copying Shakira’s recent performance at the 2023 Video Music Awards, during which Shakira danced with knives in her hands. Following the video of Spears holding a knife, one fan commented: “I remember when all these people sharing their concerns about Britney’s post about her dancing with knives were deeply concerned about Shakira when she danced with knives. Oh wait, that didn’t happen!!!”
