Britney Spears reflects on her 2001 VMAs performance: “I still remember how scared I felt”
Britney Spears has reflected on her iconic VMA performance ahead of her upcoming memoir. Back in July, the pop icon surprised fans when she announced her highly anticipated tell-all book The Woman In Me – which is set to be released under the Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books. “It’s coming… My story.
On my terms. At last. Are you ready?” she revealed in a video on her Instagram. Since that fateful day, the ‘Me Against The Music’ talent has remained relatively mum on the book’s contents… until now.
On 6 September, Spears took to Instagram to share a throwback clip of her acclaimed 2001 VMA performance of ‘I’m A Slave 4 U.’ During the jungle-themed performance, the Grammy winner shared a cage with a tiger, wore one of her most memorable outfits and danced with a huge python. “One of my favorite performances was with an albino python.
I still remember how scared I felt when I was handed this snake and took the stage,” she wrote. Towards the end of her caption, Spears teased that she would be talking more about the famous performance and some of her “other favorites” in the aforementioned book. “I can’t wait for you to read it on October 24th,” she added.
