BRitney Spears was “messing with people” when she decided to dance with knives.
The 41-year-old singer used her Instagram account last Tuesday, September 26, to share a video clip in which she appeared dancing with kitchen knives.
In the recording, the artist wears a white crop top and pink bikini bottoms. The video received a lot of comments from fans on social media, so the singer confirmed that the kitchen tools were not in fact real, but rather part of a Halloween costume.
Now, a source close to Britney has claimed that it was all just a performance. “She’s doing a great job. “I was playing with people and performing in the video dancing with knives,” the source explained to Entertainment Tonight.
Fans were quick to voice their concerns and contacted the police. The source called the whole incident “overblown” and claimed that Britney was simply “expressing her freedom” with the post.
