Not only did Britney Spears celebrate her 27th
birthday on Tuesday, but she also enjoyed the release of her long-awaited new
album, “Circus.” The pop star made an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning
America” and made a surprise announcement that left her fans both excited an
anxious. She will hit the road as soon as March 3 in order to promote her fresh
album. The world tour will feature opening acts by The Pussycat Dolls and
choreography by Wade Robson.
“The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour” is due to
kick off with a gig in New Orleans and includes
a March 11 concert at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale,
New York, while tickets will be
made available on December 6 at 11 a.m.
The 27-city North American tour, which includes stops in
Atlanta, Miami, Boston, Toronto, Los Angeles and Montreal, is scheduled to end
with a Chicago gig on April 28 and will be followed by a couple of London
performances on June 3 and June 4.
In spite of the fact that Britney Spears will start
rehearsing for her first album in five years only in January, she delivered a
small piece of her upcoming performances on Tuesday, by rocking the Big Apple
Circus tent at Lincoln
Center and talking about
her plans during “Good Morning America.”
Britney Spears sang a couple of tracks from her sixth studio
album, including the chart-topping “Womanizer” and the title song, which separates
entertainers from observers, thus highlighting the artist’s “put-on-a-show”
nature.
The show, which saw great performances and moves by the
once-upon-a-time troubled pop star, was attended by Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne,
and her two sons, 2-year-old Jayden James and 3-year-old Sean Preston.
“Good Morning America” hit Britney Spears with
some surprises as well, since it featured birthday greetings by well-known
celebrities that left the singer amazed and content at the same time. Reese
Witherspoon, John Travolta, Nicollette Sheridan, Taylor Swift and Teri Hatcher
sent the 27-year-old artist their best wishes and People’s sexiest man alive
Hugh Jackman sang “Happy Birthday” and sent Britney a kiss.
That’s what I call an incredible birthday gift!
Reese Witherspoon told Britney Spears that she looked great,
while Taylor Swift told her that she had been “officially awesome for 27
years.”
The 27-year-old’s amazing comeback helped the singer claim
the spotlight once again. Tabloids are talking about her again, magazines
display her pictures on their covers and TV programs benefit from her
performances. The good old days are back for Britney Spears and she is more
open than ever.
MTV’s Britney special on Sunday, “Britney: For the Record,”
drew over 3.7 million viewers, according to the cable music network. And the
figures are not bad at all for MTV.
