<p>On Thursday (Sept. 28), the &#8220;Gimme More&#8221; singer addressed the situation on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxwuhztLkwt/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> with another knife-dancing video, acknowledging that she understands she &#8220;spooked everyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nonetheless, she reiterated that the knives were fake before adding, <strong><em>&#8220;No one needs to worry or call the police.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA. These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The star then revealed she was trying to channel <strong>Shakira</strong> through her performance.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by!!!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Britney Spears ended her message by stating, <strong><em>&#8220;Cheers to us bad girls who aren&#8217;t afraid to push boundaries and take risks.&#8221; </em></strong>IKTR!</p>
