00:00 The singer worried several fans Monday after posting a video of herself on Instagram dancing
00:05 in her home with two very sharp-looking kitchen knives.
00:09 Spears, 41, performed the dance to an unknown song in the entrance of her California home
00:16 clad in a salmon-colored polka-dot crop, top and white bottoms.
00:20 "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today," wrote Spears in the caption.
00:26 "Don't worry they are not real knives."
00:29 "Halloween is soon," added Spears.
00:33 The Womanizer songstress can be seen smiling at the camera as she clangs them together
00:37 while twirling and twirling around.
00:41 At one point in the video, Spears' dogs meander into the frame but scamper away as soon as
00:46 Spears clangs the knives together.
00:49 The video has received nearly 223,000 likes since it was uploaded.
00:54 "I know she said they are fake but those things be clanging," posted one concerned fan.
01:01 "Are they fake though, they sound stainless steel to me but maybe they're not sharp ig,"
01:06 said a second person.
01:08 "This is terrifying," worried a third devoted fan.
01:12 "Those are definitely not fake knives."
01:16 The post reached out to Spears for comment.
01:19 Even though Spears claimed that this was her first time playing with the sharp object,
01:24 TMZ reported in their documentary, Britney Spears, The Price of Freedom, that the "I'm
01:30 a slave for you" crooner has had a fascination with knives for years.
01:35 TMZ founder Harvey Levin, who is featured in the documentary, claims that the pop star
01:41 lives in mortal fear that someone will come to her home in the middle of the night, strap
01:46 her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward.
01:49 A source close to Spears told the outlet that the singer, who was involuntarily hospitalized
01:55 twice in 2008 and was sent to a mental health facility in 2019, has a constant fear of being
02:02 re-institutionalized.
