THANK YOU. ALL the small minded punkaßbîtches on here need to see this.

I see the point. But also when something's done on stage they're usually done with a different kind of approach or technique, you know? On the other hand... because Britney's video is more amateur... Or maybe mainly because it's Britney then it gives another reaction.

Yeah, I know, it makes difference just because it's Britney and not just a random person.

Idk anymore. It's hard. There's all those past stories envolving Britney and knives, and some others...

Sorry, that made me laugh my *** off.

I get why people are irked and I also get why people think the backlash is over the top. I’m somewhere in between.

The knife topic is and has been a sensitive issue amongst stans considering the numerous allegations made by her family members and TMZ. It’s more about the fact that she continues to gives her bullies what they want by playing into their narrative (even if she is trolling) and posting this type of content.

I also think it’s a bit different when it’s a performance on stage and safety regulations have been put in place by the network. As opposed to just randomly dancing around with knives for no apparent reason IMO.

That being said, I went back and watched the video and I must say her technique is amazing. And she clearly knows what’s she’s doing and how to handle them knives.

Shakira is using daggars that aren’t even sharp. Britney is using sharp kitchen knifes and spinning rather erratically around 3 little dogs. It’s not the ******* same and it’s not hard to see.

You tried haha...

I mean it's hard because when it comes to Britney there's other questions around/in the background envolving past stories, you know.

Delusional fans will try anything to justify her Instagram posts at this point 😂🥴

I’ll just keep reposting this:

One is a performance on stage. The other is someone spinning with knives in their living room. Not the same thing. 
 

Do you spin around your home with knives? Would you think its normal if you walked in to someone spinning with knives in their home? 
 

I’m not shocked by what Britney posted. I’ve learned to not take any of her posts serious at this point. It’s too much for me to try to figure out what she means or why she shares what she posts. However, I am a loving fan. But the gp doesn’t see her as I do. So they think it’s weird af — and rightfully so.

You mean Britney's technique is amazing? Or Shakira's?

Omg an actual sane and well grounded comment! Thank you for saying this!!!

If you think there’s no double standard, you’re basically blind. Britney has always been held to double standards. 

“But Britney didn’t do it on stage!” Oh please, if Britney did it on stage the media would go VMA07 on her again. It would definitely not be viewed in the same way.

Do I think it was a smart move on Britney’s side ? No.

But she’s being criticized disproportionately for it, even by her fans, as always.

I never watched the shaki performance tbh

[waynebradybyday]

Apples to oranges. Only thing similar is the knives.

Britney also danced with a snake and tiger on stage. Not the same as if she were doing a random and unprepared performance in her home.

do y’all really think dancing and twirling around with kitchen knives that size are safe? Even the dogs were scared.
