American entertainer Britney Spears has embarked on ten headlining concert tours, five of which have been worldwide. According to Pollstar , Spears has grossed $485 million throughout her career. [1] She first served as an opening act for NSYNC before starting her 1999 headlining debut, the ...Baby One More Time Tour, [2] which was based in North America only. Its success prompted an extension of dates entitled (You Drive Me) Crazy Tour. [3] The tour was positively received by critics but generated some controversy due to her racy outfits. [2] Jae-Ha Kim of the Chicago Sun-Times commented that "Spears has that 'it' factor that worked for pinup queens of the past." [4] In 2000, she performed on the worldwide Oops!... I Did It Again Tour. It was critically appreciated for Spears's energy and performance, as well as the band. [5] She then followed this with the Dream Within a Dream Tour in 2001–02, visiting Japan and Mexico for the first time. The performances were accompanied by many special effects, the pièce de résistance being a water screen that pumped two tons of water onto the stage during the encore performance of "...Baby One More Time". During a concert in Mexico, Spears stopped the show three songs into the setlist because it was too dangerous to perform in the rainstorm.
The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004) was her comeback tour after a two-year break from music following her split from Justin Timberlake. Spears was inspired to create a show set in different areas of a hotel and mixed it with the concept of onyx stone, that symbolized untapped desire. [6] [7] The tour was canceled after Spears hurt her knee while shooting the music video for "Outrageous". The Onyx Hotel Tour grossed $34 million, in addition to $30 million of merchandise, making Spears the highest-grossing merchandise female artist. Her next tour was The M+M's Tour in 2007. This tour consisted of six short, 15-minute shows in House of Blues clubs around the United States. A Miami concert was planned at the Mansion Nightclub, but ultimately the show did not occur. She did not tour again until The Circus Starring Britney Spears in 2009. All the North American shows were sold out, and it broke attendance records in some cities. [8] [9] It went on to become the fifth highest-grossing tour of 2009, with approximately US$131.8 million in ticket sales. [10] After the debut of her seventh studio album Femme Fatale , Spears embarked on her Femme Fatale Tour, which visited North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
On December 27, 2013, Spears began her debut concert residency, Britney: Piece of Me, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Originally scheduled to run for two years, the show's success led to a two-year extension, with her final performance on December 31, 2017. During the summer of 2017, Spears brought the show to Asia as an international tour, marketed as Britney: Live in Concert. In 2018, Spears continued the show in the United States and Europe as the Piece of Me Tour. [11]

Britney: Piece of Me was the first concert residency by Spears. The show, which takes place in a fully reconstructed theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, was initially expected to run two years. The show's first two legs were 100 percent sold out due to high demand of Spears' comeback to performing as her last performance was during the Femme Fatale Tour in 2011; ticket prices increased due to the demand for the show. Britney: Piece Of Me has shattered previous ticket sale records in Vegas. The show has been extended for an additional two years until 2017, due to the amount of success it has accumulated. Spears was reported to have earned $475,000 per show. [44] In April 2017, Spears' manager announced the show would end on December 31, 2017, following the expiration of her contract with Caesars Entertainment. [45] | ||||||||||||

...Baby One More Time is the debut studio album by American singer Britney Spears. It was released on January 12, 1999, by Jive Records. Spears had been a child performer on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994, and was looking to expand her career as a teen singer. After being turned away by several record companies, Spears signed with Jive for a multi-album deal in 1997. She travelled to Sweden to collaborate with producers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, who had been writing songs with producer Denniz Pop and others, for ...Baby One More Time. Their collaboration created a pop, bubblegum pop, dance-pop, and teen pop record, with Spears later saying that she felt excited when she heard it and knew it was going to be a hit record. The album was completed in June 1998.
"Everytime" is a song by American singer Britney Spears from her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003). It was released as the third single from In the Zone on May 10, 2004, by Jive Records. After her relationship with Justin Timberlake ended in 2002, Spears became friends with her background singer Annet Artani. They started writing songs together at Spears' house in Los Angeles, and then traveled to Lombardy, Italy, where they collaborated on "Everytime".

Spears composed the music herself and wrote the lyrics with Artani about a romantic breakup.

The lyrics describes the plea of a young woman to be liberated and feel independent.

The song is one of the best-selling singles of all time, with over 10 million copies sold.
"(You Drive Me) Crazy" is a song by American singer Britney Spears from her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time (1999). Written and produced by Max Martin, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger with additional writing by Jörgen Elofsson and remix by Martin and Rami Yacoub, it was released as the album's third single on August 24, 1999, by Jive Records.
