Video footage of the performer shot by an audience member shows Spears kicking and high-stepping on high-heels during her single “(You Drive Me) Crazy” before her left ankle gives way.
Spears took to Twitter Wednesday night to thank her fans for the well wishes, saying she “had a little scare on stage tonight with my ankle but I’m ok!”
