She was probably not rich enough yet to own a tanning bed inside the tour bus

This makes me get a little choked up, knowing all she would have to endure and suffer through. But it’s so amazing. She is truly one of a kind, in every sense of the term. It’s just mind blowing to know everything she’s gone through. And within such a short amount of time and how it all changed against her.

1999Ney means so much to me.

I didn’t know she was still performing mall shows AFTER the album had dropped. I just watched the full mall show on YouTube, she sang 100% live and she she had so much stage presence and charisma. Then she became a legend.

This is absolutely iconic, to see what she did and how entertaining and innovative it was with literally no budget.

Kind of reminds me of the last leg of Piece of me

me too, I thought those mall shows were before the album 

 

Exactly, because I thought she was on tour with Nsync directly after the mall tour.

I'm getting emotional

Ok so rn I'm in Mississauga (near Toronto) and I HAVE to visit that Mall like for real?

[Thecodeman25]

Is that the same mall from mean girls?

Her whole rise to fame is probably the most legendary thing ever.  I really hope and pray that we get some sort of official in depth documentary someday with all never before seen footage from the time she got signed with Jive up until the end of the Britney era.  It could be a solid 2 hour film.  I'm sure there are so many incredible stories from people around her throughout that time that would be heartwarming to hear.  There's probably so much archived footage from her first 3/4 years of music/touring/videos/behind the scenes etc.  Let us pray that her team will one day put something really special together.  Here's a list of some things we could get a first-time look at if they have behind the scenes/rehearsal footage of these events:

-Mall tour/BOMT tour  -VMA 1999  -Oops Tour/SNL/Album Promo  -VMA 2000  -VMA 2001  -DWAD Vegas Show  -Superbowl with NSYNC & Aerosmith  -Pepsi Commercials/Campaign  -Performance with Michael Jackson  -Early stages of her creating ITZ  -All the photoshoots for the main album art 

Those are the main things I can think of right now...

I think this was the only mall show she did after the album was released. The rest were done before, when BOMT (single) had just been released.

Look at how many people turned up to see her though  I'm surprised she didn't shut the mall down!!
