Britney Spears Dance Video: The iconic pop sensation, Britney Spears, has reacted to her dance video with butcher knives. The video alarmed her followers, following which the Ventura County Sheriff's Department conducted a welfare check on her.

In the viral video posted earlier this week, the 41-year-old singer shared dancing videos with two sharp and large knives, captioning it as "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today !!! Don't worry they are NOT real knives !!!!" But the knives in the video made a clanking sound when she hit them together. Later on , she clarified, "Lighten up about the knives I'm copying Shakira !!!" One of the clips showed her with a bandage and apparent cuts on her arm and leg. These visuals alarmed her fans and raised concerns about her safety and mental well-being.

However, in a recent Instagram post addressed to her 42.1 million followers, Britney addressed the video and humorously claimed to be 'copying Shakira'. For the uninitiated, Shakira recently performed at the MTV VMAs with ornamental knives during a medley of her greatest hits.

Spears took to Instagram and wrote, "I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA. These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police. I'm trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira ... a performance I was inspired by !!! Cheers to us bad girls who aren't afraid to push boundaries and take risks!"

Meanwhile, Britney's struggle with mental health issues is well documented. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2021. Her journey has been marked by a 13-year-long conservatorship that ended in 2022. The singer has promised to share her tumultuous life story in her upcoming memoir, "The Woman in Me."
