Earlier this week, Spears posted a video of herself dancing in a polka dot bra top and white bikini bottoms as she twirled and danced.
However, this dance video raised concerns compared to her usual videos as she played with danger while swinging two large kitchen knives.
You could see her three puppies at her feet, retreating from her quick and sharp movements.
Many of her 42.1 million followers expressed concern for Spears after seeing the clip, especially when she was seen with apparent injuries in a later post.
About an hour after she shared the first video of her dancing with knives, she posted a since-deleted clip of herself – in which eagle-eyed fans spotted a scratch on her leg.
In the video, she also had a bandage wrapped around her forearm.
Spears later shared another post, assuring her fans that the knives weren’t real and that she was a “fraud” for simply “copying” Shakira.
Shakira performed with knives at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Prudential Center in New Jersey in September.

However, fans were left unconvinced and concerned as they insisted they heard the ‘clatter’ of the blades.
On Thursday, authorities from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched to Spears’ home after someone close to the singer requested a welfare check.
A source said TMZ that law enforcement officers visited her $7.4 million mansion — which she previously shared with her estranged husband, Sam Asghari — “out of an abundance of caution.”
Officers spoke to her security at her home “to make sure she was safe” and when Spears reportedly didn’t walk to talk, they left after her team said she was “fine.”
