American entertainer Britney Spears has embarked on ten headlining concert tours and one concert residency. According to Pollstar , Spears has grossed $485 million in revenue throughout her career. [1] During 1998–1999, she embarked on a promotional tour in malls and food courts across North America, titled L'Oreal Hair Zone Mall Tour, and served as an opening act for NSYNC's in Concert tour in the United States before starting her 1999 headlining debut, the ...Baby One More Time Tour, [2] which was also based in North America. Its success prompted an extension of dates in the US, entitled (You Drive Me) Crazy Tour, the following year. [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]
From 2000 to 2001, she performed the Oops!... I Did It Again Tour in North America, Europe, and Brazil. It was critically appreciated for Spears's energy and performance, as well as the band, and went on to gross $40.5 million. [5] She then followed this with the Dream Within a Dream Tour in North America and Japan, during 2001–2002. The performances were accompanied by many special effects, including a water screen that pumped two tons of water onto the stage during the encore performance of "...Baby One More Time". The tour grossed $53.3 million from 946,169 tickets sold.
With the Onyx Hotel Tour, in 2004, Spears felt inspired to create a show set in different areas of a hotel and mixed it with the concept of an onyx stone. [6] [7] The tour was canceled after Spears hurt her knee while shooting the music video for "Outrageous". Overall, the Onyx Hotel Tour grossed $34 million while visiting North America and Europe. Her next tour was the M+M's Tour in 2007. It consisted of six short, 15-minute shows in House of Blues clubs around the United States.
In 2008, after highly publicized personal struggles, Spears was involuntarily placed in a conservatorship by her father and embarked on the Circus Starring Britney Spears tour the following year. All the North American concerts were sold out, and it broke attendance records in many cities. [8] [9] The show was also performed in Europe and Oceania. It went on to become the highest-grossing tour of her career and the fifth highest-grossing tour of 2009, earning $131.8 million with an attendance of 1.4 million. In 2011, after the release of her seventh studio album Femme Fatale , Spears embarked on her Femme Fatale Tour, which visited North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, and ended up grossing $68.7 million.
On December 27, 2013, Spears began her first 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, and the final performance was set on December 31, 2017. It grossed $137.7 million from 916,184 tickets sold. During the summer of 2017, Spears brought the show to Asia as an international tour, marketed as Britney: Live in Concert. It was her first concert tour in six years. In 2018, she continued the show in the United States and Europe as the Piece of Me Tour, which grossed $54.3 million. [10]
In January 2019, Spears announced an indefinite hiatus and the cancellation of her planned concert residency, Britney: Domination, [11] and later entered in a legal battle with her father over her conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021. In September 2022, Spears stated that she will "probably never perform again" due to the trauma that the arrangement caused to her life. [12]

Britney Jean Spears is an American singer and dancer. Often referred to as the "Princess of Pop", she is credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Spears has sold over 150 million records worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling music artists. She has earned numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award, 15 Guinness World Records, six MTV Video Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, the inaugural Radio Disney Icon Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her heavily choreographed music videos earned her the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
...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". Musically, it is a piano-driven pop ballad, which lyrically pleas for forgiveness for inadvertently hurting a former lover. Spears composed the music herself and wrote the lyrics with Artani about a romantic breakup.
"I'm a Slave 4 U" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her third studio album, Britney (2001). Written and produced by Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes, it was released on September 25, 2001, by Jive Records as the lead single from the album. Marking a transition for Spears from the teen pop sounds of her previous singles, "I'm a Slave 4 U" is a dance-pop track with urban pop and R&B influences. The lyrics describes the plea of a young woman to be liberated and feel independent.
"...Baby One More Time" is the debut single by American singer Britney Spears from her debut studio album of the same name (1999). It was written by Max Martin and produced by Martin and Rami Yacoub. Released on September 29, 1998, by Jive Records, the song became a worldwide success, topping the charts in over 20 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, where it earned quintuple and triple-platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), respectively, and was the latter's best-selling single of 1999. 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. It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1999 teen romantic comedy film Drive Me Crazy. The song garnered positive reviews from music critics, some of whom praised its simple formula and noted similarities to Spears's debut single, "...Baby One More Time".
"Born to Make You Happy" is a song by American singer Britney Spears from her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time (1999). It was released on December 6, 1999, by Jive Records, as the fourth single from the album in Europe. Spears—whose vision for her sound differed stylistically from that of her producer's—was unhappy with the sexual overtones of the song, and the song underwent at least one re-write before its release. The singer first recorded the vocals for the track in May 1998, which were later re-recorded in September 1999 for the 'Bonus Remix' of the song. The teen pop song alludes to a relationship that a woman desires to correct, not quite understanding what went wrong, as she comes to realize that she was "born to make [her lover] happy".
"Oops!... I Did It Again" is a pop song recorded by American singer Britney Spears from her second studio album of the same name. It was released on April 11, 2000, by Jive Records as the lead single from the album, and her sixth single overall. It was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. The lyrics refer to a woman who views love as a game, and she decides to use that to her advantage by playing with the emotions of a boy who likes her. Its bridge features spoken dialogue which references the hit 1997 film Titanic.
