Britney Spears Relives 2001 VMAs: “How Scared” She Was
Britney Spears took her fans on a nostalgic trip as she looked back on one of the most memorable performances of her career — the 2001 VMAs. Posting a throwback video on Instagram, the pop icon showcased the moment she danced with an albino python draped over her shoulders while performing her hit, “I’m a Slave 4 U.”
Dazzling in Green and Purple
Designed with precision by the talented duo Kurt and Bart, Spears donned a captivating ensemble for the performance. The outfit, consisting of a green bra top, jewel-embellished low-rise shorts, and floating green and purple scarves attached, did more than just complement the snake. It became a symbol of the audacious spirit that Britney has consistently embodied throughout her career.
More Than Just A Performance
Even for a seasoned performer like Spears, this was not just another day at the office. Reflecting on that electric moment, she shared on her post, “One of my favorite performances was with an albino python 😳🐍💃🏼 …” But, it wasn’t all just brave-faced charisma. She openly admitted to not being entirely comfortable, hinting at the courage it took for her to pull off such a stunt.
Delving Deeper in ‘The Woman in Me’
The iconic pop star didn’t stop at just sharing the memory. She enticed her fans further by teasing more stories from her upcoming memoir, “The Woman In Me.” Britney revealed, “I talked more about this performance and other favorites in my book #TheWomanInMe. I can’t wait for you to read it on October 24th 😉🌹 @gallerybooks @simonschusteruk.”
Following the throwback video, Spears also treated fans to a sneak peek of her book, which intriguingly features a python animation wrapped around its cover.
A Glimpse Into Spears’ World
Gallery Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint, has taken the reins to publish Britney’s memoir. Back in July, PEOPLE gave fans a first look, declaring the book’s release date on October 24. Anticipation runs high as many believe her book will not only shed light on her journey but also mark a significant moment in the publishing world for the year.
As her tale prepares to unfold, one thing remains clear: Britney Spears has a lot more to share, and the world is eager to listen.
