Britney Spears did it again — a sold out show! For those who doubted if she could still bring down the house, doubt no further. Hong Kong was in a frenzy when she stepped onstage after precisely an hour’s wait. After all, this was the pop queen’s first foray outside the US in six years.

Spears’ debut in the late 90s with the hit song … Baby One More Time catapulted her to international stardom. The pop queen solidified her status throughout the years with numerous record-breaking album sales — 70 million albums sold in the US alone — and chart-topping hits, including Oops, I Did It Again, I’m a Slave 4 U, If You Seek Amy, Toxic, to name a few.

Chart toppers aside, Spears held residency in Las Vegas for the past four years with Britney: Pieces of Me, a show that she was expected to closely replicate for this leg of her world tour.
