You asked whether Britney Spears is still doing her notorious “knife dancing” on social media. Let’s clear that up:

What Happened with the “Knife Dancing”?

In September 2023, Britney shared a video of herself dancing around her home holding knives. The visuals caused alarm among fans, prompting a wellness check. Authorities found no threat to her safety—her security team and attorney confirmed she was fine, and the knives were later clarified as counterfeit props (UNILAD, 9News, Sky News, ClutchPoints, TMZ).

Britney herself explained the stunt was just performance art—a playful tribute to Shakira’s MTV VMA knife dance. She assured fans in a follow-up caption:

“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.” (ClutchPoints, Cinemablend, Sky News).

Is She Still Doing It?

As of mid-2024, Britney stopped posting “knife dancing” videos. In a June 2024 Instagram post, she remarked:

“The last time I danced I was dancing with knives … people say I shouldn’t post those …”
And she added that it had been nine months since that clip—implying the knife dance era was behind her. (Cinemablend).

Since then—and into 2025—Britney’s social media has featured other content:

Dance videos (without knives), sometimes sporadic, occasionally with wardrobe mishaps or eccentric styling (Cinemablend, Page Six, The Sun, People.com).

Recently, she danced in a sparkly gold outfit, turned a wardrobe glitch into her own creative moment, and continued sharing expressive, personal content—none involving knives (Cinemablend, The Sun, Page Six).

In February 2025, her ex-husband Sam Asghari defended her past knife-dancing posts, calling her a “genius artist” and supporting her creative freedom—a nod to how symbolic those moments were for her independence after the conservatorship (Page Six).

Summary Table

In short: No, Britney Spears is not still doing the “knife dancing” on social media. That chapter appears to have closed—she’s still posting dance clips, but the knives are long gone.
