Britney Spears teases Australian tour
Britney Spears is driving Aussie fans crazy after teasing the possibility of a tour Down Under.
The Princess of Pop has not toured Australia since her 2009 tour The circus came to town.
But this could soon change accordingly Britney who is getting ready to tour “very soon.”
Is Britney Spears going on tour?
While no tour has yet been confirmed, the pop icon took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that one is in the works.
The 44-year-old shared a photo of herself on stage sitting at a piano, revealing she was hoping to gift it to her son Jayden, 19…
“This year send this piano to my son!!!” she wrote in the post that has garnered nearly 700,000 likes.
“Interestingly enough I dance on IG to heal things in my body that people have no idea about. Yes and it's embarrassing sometimes…but I walked through fire to save my life…”
Britney also went on to share the one place she will never perform again, as well as the countries she is considering for a potential tour.
“I will never perform in the US again due to extremely sensitive reasons, but I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon.”
When was Britney Spears last Australian tour?
Britney Spears arrived at Sydney Airport on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, for her Australian tour that began that Friday in Perth.
The then 27-year-old shared a message to fans on Twitter at the same time, saying: “Longest flight ever but we had a great time. So excited to be here.”
The singer managed to avoid the frenzy of fans waiting for her at the airport and instead took a private jet straight to Perth.
Spears' worldwide Circus tour, which began in New Orleans in March 2009, consisted of a cast of 44 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats.
The singer performed 15 concerts while Down Under kicking off in Perth on Friday, followed by Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane before ending in Adelaide on November 29.
The four shows at Acer Arena in Sydney sold 66,247 tickets, making them the best-selling act ever in the arena.
The tour was ranked number seven on Billboard's Top 25 Tours of 2009, with a previously reported gross of $140 million AUD ($94 million USD).
What would a Britney Spears tour look like in 2026?
Leaving behind the blockbuster arena shows of the past, Britney sees a much simpler version in the future.
“I hope to sit on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son,” she explained in her post.
“He is a huge star and I am so humbled to be in his presence!!! God speed, little man!!!”
So no yellow python then?
What are fans saying about the potential tour?
Although people are over the moon at the thought of seeing Britney back on stage, many are skeptical as a result of their previous opposition to touring.
One user assumed X to share her feelings, saying: “Whatever she decides – to perform or not to perform, in certain countries or not at all – the most important thing is that it is her choice. She has spent enough of her life being told what to do.
The last tour of Britney Spears was the Piece of Me Tour in October 2018 which ended in the Austin, Texas, United States.
The singer then took a break from performing to concentrate on her conservatorship from which she was officially released on November 12, 2021.
