The Today Show has drawn the ire of fans for sharing an Instagram post that appears to mock singer Britney Spears.

The Today Show’s Instagram page shared the image with a before and after of 41-year-old Britney Spears.
One photo shows her when she was younger, the other shows a more recent photo of her dancing with knives.
