00:02 Britney Spears has once again set the record straight
00:05 after dancing with knives again.
00:08 The 41-year-old superstar took to her Instagram
00:10 on Thursday night to share a video of herself
00:13 busting a move with what appeared
00:15 to be a pair of butcher knives.
00:16 Though the blades looked and sounded real,
00:19 especially after she clanged them together,
00:21 she wrote in her caption that they are not real
00:24 and that she is just pushing boundaries and taking risks.
00:27 Penning, "I know I spooked everyone with the last post,
00:30 "but these are fake knives that my team rented
00:33 "from Hand Prop Shop in LA.
00:35 "These are not real knives.
00:37 "No one needs to worry or call the police.
00:39 "I'm trying to imitate one of my favorite performers,
00:42 "Shakira, a performance I was inspired by.
00:45 "Cheers to us bad girls who aren't afraid
00:47 "to push boundaries and take risks."
00:49 On September 25th, the music icon
00:52 originally sparked fans' concern
00:53 when she posted the first video of herself smiling
00:56 while twirling and spinning with a knife in each hand
00:59 as her dogs stood nearby.
01:01 And she wrote in the caption,
01:03 "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today.
01:06 "Don't worry, they are not real knives.
01:08 "Halloween is soon."
01:10 And then on September 26th,
01:12 Britney posted another dancing video,
01:14 but this time she nixed the knives,
01:16 but addressed everyone's comments and concerns.
01:19 Penning, "Lighten up about the knives.
01:21 "I'm copying Shakira."
01:23 Britney is no stranger to showing off
01:25 her dance moves on her Instagram,
01:27 and her husband, Sam Asghari, even joined her a few times.
01:30 But the actor filed for divorce
01:32 from the Toxic songstress in August
01:34 after 14 months of marriage.
01:36 And Britney spoke out on the breakup the following day,
01:38 revealing in a personal Instagram message
01:41 that she was, quote, "a little shocked, but staying positive,"
01:44 adding, "I'm actually doing pretty damn good."
01:47 Britney and Sam met on the set
01:49 of her Slumber Party music video in 2016,
01:51 and tied the knot six years later
01:53 in a surprise ceremony at the singer's California home.
01:57 Ahead of the wedding,
01:58 Sam spoke to Access Hollywood's Mario Lopez,
02:00 and broke down his romantic proposal to the pop star.

02:12 to do it nowadays. - Right, yeah,
02:13 it comes out clearer and everything.
02:14 - So I went to send it to my sister,
02:16 but I accidentally posted it for a few seconds.
02:20 So the whole world got to see the ring,
02:22 so I deleted it right away.
02:24 - And somebody still grabbed it?
02:25 - Are you kidding me? - Wow.
02:26 - It was all over the news. - Wow.
02:29 - With a ring all over the web,
02:30 Sam had to act fast to throw Britney off the trail.
02:33 - I said to her, "I'm still shopping around."
02:35 You know, I covered it up real quick.
02:36 - You covered it up, that was good.
02:38 - It's a beautiful ring, it's made for a princess,
02:40 but also it's from a hardworking man to a princess.
