Someone close to Spears called authorities “genuinely concerned about her wellbeing,” according to reports.

Some would argue this is her expressing her creative freedom, and some might argue this is dangerous and there’s a safety issue or mental health concern,” so authorities opted to check on the singer’s well-being due to the initial call from someone close to Spears.

A sergeant who had many encounters with Spears over the years and who is said to have a good relationship with the singer visited her home. 

Upon arriving at her home, he made contact through the main gate intercom. The singer’s head of security told the sergeant he was with Spears, there was no threat to her safety, and the singer did not want deputies to enter the property. 

Spears’ attorney also called the sergeant, “explained he had just spoken with the singer,” and “assured him there were no issues with Ms. Spears mentally, physically, or otherwise.”

On Monday, Spears shared a video of herself dancing with what appears to be two metal kitchen knives on Instagram. She later updated the post with the caption: “I started playing in the kitchen with knives today,” later adding, “Don’t worry they are NOT real knives !!! Halloween is soon!”
