I was in the music industry for over half of my life !!! I was told by someone who directed movies that the music industry is a different beast … especially touring !!! It’s fun at first but if you’ve done it for a while, being in a different city constantly gets pretty draining !!! I have done like 10 tours !!! Well … as I looked back at my career and I realized the one thing I did that required the least effort … like at all … was my favorite thing I have ever done !!! 3 days of rehearsal, 1 day of dress rehearsal and performing just 5 songs, shot to a T on a TV set !!! It took 45 minutes to shoot … I remember afterwards being like, “wow that was easy, can we do it again ???” The lighting, everything was brilliant !!! WAYYY different than hauling 4 trucks and 300 people on a tour where I couldn’t even have coffee ☕️ !!!! Just shedding light on a time where it didn’t feel like work AT ALL … a time where I actually felt like a star instead of my family being the star !!! On tour I can’t remember how many women were on the bus with my dad 🙄🙄🙄 … either way, I would say they got a great deal wasting 15 years of my life !!! Great news though !!! Having this new found independence gives me strength every day and the ability to stay hungry, focused, fearless, and honestly just be a good person !!! Here’s to the magic of TV 📺 … Who would have thunk it 😒😒😒 ??? 

Maybe this sort of special, intimate style performance is what she wants to do next? Instead of touring

I'm SHOOK at her recognizing this iconic moment and dragging her father all at once

She must be looking back at old performances as she’s bored at home.  Hopefully this ignites a spark in her to be this fearless performer again one day.

hearing her say she's staying hungry focused and fearless???? i know that's right, queen! she could easily do a special like that again and everyone would eat it up 

[diiihazevedo]

Saying “wow that was easy” after recording one of the most iconic TV specials of the decade. True star.

The ABC performances were so good! She had so much energy especially during the Toxic one. So cool to see her acknowledge them!

I feel like rehearsals were longer than 3 days for this- but love the fond memories! Lol @ her talking about as little effort possible.

Could be, I mean the choreo at least for Toxic was pretty much the same for all promo performances.

Queen chose your own 5 songs and do this 

[Dreamer26]

Well this is like a call for streaming services. I hope people from Netflix,Disney etc. convince her to record some special show like that. It will be a huge win for them if they play cards right. Clearly Britney done with the touring but not done yet with performing. She justs needs right supportive people who actually respect her and they need give her more creative control. I can see that she may back to performing that way with flexible schedule.

SUPERBOWL AIRED BY ABC CONFIRMED

But I think this was one of the first times she performed toxic? Maybe ITZ out all night may have been before… so she could have rehearsed BOM and toxic for those.

Love that she's watching back old performances.

She's made it more than clear that she has no plans to ever tour again, which I do not blame her.

There are quite a few mentions about her career lately, hopefully she's getting that itch again to do things her way...
