This was Britney Spears’ first performance in 2008 after being placed under a conservatorship. She received the International Artist Award in Germany at the Bambi Awards after performing “Womanizer.” It marked the start of the “Circus” era promotion.

The thought of her having to perform in front of the most serious and boring audience in the world makes my 💔 breaks. The fear and pressure she had

Her first performance since the 2007 VMAs. The stakes were high so they soft launched in Germany. She looked amazing, best she’s ever looked imo but clearly a little nervous. She killed it, and the Circus era was upon us

the fact she was performing circus while being under the conservatorship is unfortunately ironic considering the lyrics

This was such an exciting time for B fans. The three European performances leading up to the big GMA performance in America. We were all on the edge of our seats and she delivered! The X Factor performance (especially the dance break) is when she really came back into her power.

The look of fear then her smile when everyone applauds, my heart 🥹

This is not anything to be praising

later Karl Lagerfeld gave her the Bambi… ICONIC

The spark was gone. They must have been drugging her heavily already. Sad

I love how you always know when she cues for them to turn the mic back up

and bitch she’s battling he backtrack on the bridge part!! omggg!! she’s singing liveee

Me lembro como se fosse ontem

the conservatorship was good!!! she looked incredible here!!!

OWNED that stage.

She looks stiff and unsure of herself…her best days were already behind her, never to return.
