Those were the days, she was everywhere people hated her people loved her but she was everywhere it was such a great time to be a fan, Normani - Clara - Tinashe all are fantastic performers with technicality but Brit is something else when she loved to perform she was only competing with herself. I love this performance of hers a lot! She's so cute

More iconic than any Super Bowl.

Ah this was where she famously performed the original version of Me Against the Music before Madonna hopped on the song

Something always felt off to me about this performance

It's a cute little performance. A little awkward at the stripping her clothes off part like why didn't they make it more seamless lol

but truly LOVE this era of Britney where she was really starting to NOT GIVE A FUUU.CK.  She really was everywhere like someone above mentioned and this is when the press/paparazzi really started getting to be too much with her and she was pushing back with her sass.

Also I am LIVING for those messy red clip in extensions! 🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥

Musta been around the same time as the iconic "Pepsi is Pepsi" interview?

it was a bit later yeah, everything happened right after the VMA's performance (every single interview for the next few months had to include the "kiss" question)

This is my favorite Medley she ever performed, shame she wasn't able to do Super Bowl at this time, with more production this sort of performance would've been iconic. She had the best choreography that suited her body and the remixes were fire and her pre-recorded vocals were perfection. And I loved the hand mic, but obvs she had a blunder, but I still prefer it, it made this performance really stand out. This was the choreographer that wanted to push Britney's "live vocals" (I think he did her MATM at the AMA's if I'm not mistaken, which was pre-recorded and he hyped it up a lot). I think this entire era was great promo.

Well for one, she only did a very low kick instead of her iconic high kick.

[HeySister]

My favorite kind of Pepsi? Pepsi's PEPSI.

Wasnt it at one of those nightclub performances she used to do around that time? To me the 3 songs are just re arranged in a different mix. Just a thought.

Omg those Madonna-Britney initial letter necklaces, I swear i had that info totally locked in my brain. Funny I cant remember useful things for my job but I do remember this kind of pointless facts after 20 years.

I too am interested in getting the answer to this from people who understand these things.

Also - how about some low-key credit to the NFL for putting Britney on. Sure she was on top of everything in those days but the overlap between big NFL fans and big Britney fans must have been very small (that would be me!)

1. Real hair + hair extensions. 

2. Britney was still under contract with Pepsi, which is the sponsor so maybe they have something to do with it.
