It took American pop superstar Britney Spears almost two decades to come to the Philippines, but she made sure that her fans were not disappointed when she took center stage at the Mall of Asia Arena last Thursday night.
Revelers ofย all ages flocked the arena donning their Britney shirts, with a few others cosplaying like the pop queen from her music videos. They were all in high spirits and seemingly unperturbed by the long lines, heavy rain, and heavy traffic jam.
If that didnโt dampen their spirits, well, you can imagine their resounding cheers filling the whole arena when Britney Spears finally lit the stage with her jaw-dropping performances!

The pop princess performed around 24 songs accompanied with stunning visuals, dance performances, and awesome stage production. The crowd just couldnโt get enough of their queen as they danced and sang along with her latest hits from her album Glory: Slumber, Make Meโฆ, Do You Wanna Come Over? and Do Somethinโ.

Her fans screamed with the same gusto and energy when she performed hits from her older albums: In the Zone (2003), Blackout (2007), Circus (2008), Femme Fatale (2011), and Britney Jean (2013).
