Britney Spears posted a video to Instagram of herself dancing, which is pretty normal for her, but this video has people seriously freaked out because she’s dancing with knives. Not like with swords in some kind of choreographed routine. No, it looks like she walked into her kitchen, grabbed two mismatched butcher knives, and then got her boogie on.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before people started commenting that dancing with knives isn’t safe and that she should cut it out. Britney came back and tried to make light of the situation by claiming that the knives aren’t “real,” but they sure look real and they sure as heck sound real. Check it out!
Britney posted this video on September 25.
“I started playing in the kitchen with knives today,” she wrote in the original caption. Once people started commenting about it not being safe to dance with knives, she updated the caption to add: “Don’t worry they are not real knives!!!! Halloween is soon!!!”
OK, but they look and sound real.
Nothing about the knives gives off the impression that they are anything but actual kitchen knives. She even bangs them together a few times and they sound like honest to goodness knives. Plus, is there really a Halloween market for such realistic kitchen knives? Are people dressing up as cooks and butchers all that much? Because these aren’t like horror movie kind of knives, but what do I know.
TMZ claims that Britney has a long-standing fascination with knives.
According to TMZ, when Britney’s conservatorship came to an end, “those caring for her prepared a list of recommendations, including this one—keep knives away from her.” They went on to say that they were told, “Britney viewed knives as a means of protection … she has a constant fear of being re-institutionalized, something she's referenced in the past.”
Is it me or do you see a resemblance?
Also, doesn’t the knife in this video look a lot like one of the knives she used in dancing with knives video? Just sayin’. Sure there are a lot of knives in the world that look like that, but this one is in Britney’s kitchen and looks a whole heck of a lot like one of the ones she claims aren’t real.
In August, Britney and husband Sam Asghari split.
Part of why people are worried about Britney and the knives is because she’s been going through a breakup. TMZ reported that Sam moved out of their home and a source told them that "it's only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce." Then Britney addressed the situation with a caption on one of her dancing videos. She wrote:
“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business !!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!! I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!! If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors !!! But that’s when I needed family the most !!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally … not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!”
And please practice knife safety while you're at it!
