Britney Spears sported a bandage on her finger in an Instagram post she put up then deleted Sunday, which comes more than a week after she made headlines for dancing with knives.
The Grammy-winning singer, 41, was seen in a post on the social media site Sunday with bandage on the index finger of her right hand as she showed off her moves to her 42.2 million Instagram followers.
The Oops!… I Did It Again vocalist in the clip wore a long-sleeved black top with horizontal tears, leopard skin panties and black boots in which she displayed her agility while dancing to Beyonce’s Daddy Lessons.
The Womanizer songstress had her long blonde locks down and wore a necklace as she danced in the foyer of her Southern California home.
There were a pair of white boots and assorted clothes on the tiled floor of the luxury home, which appeared to have a Christmas tree put up in the time between the first and second clips she posted Sunday.

The latest: Britney Spears, 41, sported a bandage on her finger in an Instagram post she put up then deleted Sunday, which comes more than a week after she made headlines for dancing with knives
After she deleted the initial post with the bandage, she posted another dance clip in which she danced to the Beyonce track.
The songstress showed off her fit figure as she donned a purple lingerie one-piece with black boots.
Spears was seen in a clip dancing with two butcher knives in hand September 25.
In the September 25 post in which Spears danced with sharp objects in hand, she assured fans in the caption: ‘I started playing in the kitchen with knives today!!! Don’t worry they are NOT real knives!!!’
The Womanizer songstress was back on the social media site with a dancing clip September 26 in which she wore a low-cut white blouse with long sleeves, in which her arms could not be seen.
Spears – who is in the divorce process with estranged husband Sam Asghari – sparked fears among fans when she sported a bandage on her arm and possible cuts on her person in two September 27 Instagram clips.
Spears in the clips she showed off her formidable dancing skills: In the first clip, she was seen dancing in a dizzying piece of improvised choreography to a beat.
In the second clip, the Oops!… I Did It Again vocalist danced to the 1990 Enigma track Sadeness (Part I), wearing a white bandage on her wrist while there appeared to be a gash on the upper front of her right leg.
It was not immediately clear how much time elapsed between the recording of the first and second clips.

In the September 27 caption, Spears intimated that the lighting in her living room were giving her ‘a horrible migraine,’ and that she typically likes to ‘control the lights’ where she’s at.
Spears also alluded to not feeling up to par as of late, as she said: ‘I realize I’ve lost a lot of weight and my eyes aren’t as wide open!!! I feel weaker when I lose weight.’
Spears alluded to the knife dancing clip she posted, as she said, ‘I have incredible gifted friends beside me every freakin’ day but I‘d be lying if I didn’t say to any b**** disrespecting me at any parties … I don’t forget!!!!
‘Why???? Cause I know my worth and learning to dance with fake knives at parties is a motherf***ing understatement !!!’
Spears reportedly has ‘had a fascination with knives,’ TMZ reported in May, adding that the singer slept ‘with one under her bed’ amid terror of being ‘re-institutionalized.’
A year and a half after the end of her 13-year conservatorship, in which Spears previously described as ‘abusive’ in explosive courtroom testimony, a source alleged that the pop star remains in ‘mortal fear’ that ‘someone will come in the middle of the night, strap her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward.’
After regaining control of her own personal and financial affairs in 2021, the site claims those caring for the mother-of-two ‘prepared a list of recommendations’ for Spears, which included keeping her away from weapons and ‘not driving alone.’
The singer, who revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is said to have a ‘constant fear of being re-institutionalized.’

In 2022, Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, claimed in her tell-all book that her sibling once locked them in a room together while holding a knife.
In a passage from her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, the Zoey 101 alum, 32, recalled Britney telling her she was ‘scared’ before taking ‘large knife from the kitchen’ and pulling her into her room and locking them ‘both inside.’
‘She put the knife in the bedside table drawer and simply repeated, ‘I’m scared’’ Jamie Lynn recalled. ‘I knew something was wrong and I was powerless to do something about it.’
While discussing the claim on an episode of Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, in 2022, the former child star clarified that she ‘never felt like [Britney] was going to harm’ her or ‘anything.’
‘It just felt weird. And I didn’t understand it,’ she said of the incident that reportedly occurred in 2004, shortly after Britney’s wedding to Jason Alexander, which was annulled within 55 hours.
At the time, Jamie Lynn would have been just 13, and Britney 22.
Britney vehemently denied the alleged incident between them on Twitter.
‘I’ve never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such!!!’ Britney tweeted in 2022. ‘The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut.’
Britney then expressed feeling hurt by the claims and said she was ‘actually very confused’ why Jamie Lynn was ‘making that up because it’s honestly not like’ her to lie.

Following the release of her book, Jamie Lynn defended her choice to tell the story as she pointed out her book is ‘not about her’ sister.
‘I can’t help that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences involve my sister,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘I’ve worked hard since before I was even a teenager, and I’ve built my career in spite of just being someone’s little sister.’
Britney has been anticipating the release of her memoir, The Woman In Me, which will be available on October 24.
