Britney Spears is clearing the air after cleaving it with her (fake) knives. If you missed it, the 41-year-old Princess of Pop sparked concern earlier this week by sharing a video of herself dancing with two large knives.

According to NBC, the video prompted some fans to call the police to her home to perform a wellness check. A source told the outlet that the response to the video was “overblown” and stressed that Britney was “fine.” She issued her own response to the situation on Thursday evening (September 28) and revealed exactly why she uploaded the clip.

No one needs to worry or call the police.” She continued, revealing that she was simply pulling inspiration from Shakira, who brought out knives during her performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. “I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by !!!
