Do Britney Spears fans simply need to "lighten up"? That's what the 41-year-old popstar is suggesting on Instagram. Just a couple of days ago, the Baby One More Time songstress uploaded a clip of herself spinning around and busting some moves at home in her underwear, all while clutching a pair of a kitchen knives as her dogs loitered around at her feet. "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today!!!" she captioned it. "Don't worry they are NOT real knives!!!

Halloween is soon!!!" Following on from this, which inevitably caused major alarm amongst social media users, Britney has now posted another dancing video alongside the message: "Lighten up about the knives I'm copying Shakira!!!" Incase you hadn't heard, at this month's MTV Video Music Awards, the 46-year-old Columbian singer accepted a Lifetime Achievement gong before performing a medley of her greatest hits infront of the crowd.

Amidst the synonymous hip-shaking, Shakira was seen wielding two daggers as part of her routine. It's a particularly tumultuous time in Britney's life right now, having just recently split from her husband Sam Asghari after one year of marriage.

In an OK! exclusive, the star's former bodyguard Fernando Flores commented: "In my opinion, the relationship was never going to last.The only surprise is that they didn’t break up sooner. "I think they clearly rushed into getting married, which is another pattern that is repeating.
