Britney Spears concert chronology

The Femme Fatale Tour was the eighth

Zaldy Goco
designed the costumes. In July 2011, Spears announced her plans of a South American leg on the tour, in territories she either had never been-to or had not played for over a decade. Spears has named the Femme Fatale Tour the “best” show of her career.

The tour, divided in five segments, portrays a story in which Spears is a secret agent, who is chased by a stalker named Tormento Lancie (played by

ninjas
.

The Femme Fatale Tour received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Some described it as Spears' most entertaining show and praised her performance, while others criticized her dancing and lack of audience interaction. The tour, in total, grossed $6.2 million in the first ten shows, and was included on Pollstar’s Top 100 North American Tours list.

An unofficial, high-quality recording of the

Epix in the United States. BBC Worldwide
acquired the rights to both the 2-D and 3-D versions outside the United States.

According to Pollstar, the 39 dates in North America grossed $38.3 million, with 423,017 tickets sold. Internationally, the tour was the eleventh highest-grossing tour of 2011, with a gross of $68.7 million. 697,957 fans attended the shows, worldwide, with an average attendance of 8,724 (some venues were considerably larger), paying an average of $98.43.[2]

Background

The show began with a performance of "Hold It Against Me" (left), which had Spears in a silver outfit, while "3" (right) featured her and her dancers wearing sunglasses, white trench coats and fedoras.

In an interview on

Live Nation's websites.[6]

In May 2011, it was announced that Spears would headline

Ustream page at 18:00 EST (23:00 UTC) a South American leg of the tour. Accompanied by two of her dancers — one translating in Spanish and the other in Portuguese — she also apologized for not touring in the region during The Circus Starring Britney Spears in 2009. A notice following the stream announced the first two dates in Brazil and ten more dates to be announced in the near future.[9] This would mark Spears’ first concert in Brazil in ten years, since her 2001 performance at Rock in Rio.[10] During the following days, concerts in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Perú were also announced.[11][12][13][14] On September 26, 2011, it was announced that Spears would perform on the first day of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.[15]

Development

The performance of "Big Fat Bass" (left), featured will.i.am in the backdrops, while "How I Roll" (right) was performed atop a pink car.

In March 2011, Spears's manager

Till The World Ends" "keeps becoming a theme for us." He also confirmed Jamie King as the tour director and Brian Friedman as the choreographer.[16] The following month, Friedman announced that he had pulled out of the tour due to scheduling conflicts with his own reality series.[17] In a video interview posted on Spears's official website, she said, "The Femme Fatale Tour will hopefully just be outrageously spectacular. I'm just hoping that the choreographers will come up with just the most outrageous things, and I'm really excited. This is the most excited I've been about a project in a really long time, so I can't wait."[18] The script of the show was created by Jamie King, and was inspired by the concept of the femme fatale and femme fatales throughout the ages.[19] Rudolph stated that the idea for the show was to have Spears as an "international woman of mystery". The setlist was composed mostly of songs from Femme Fatale, but also included her most popular hits from her earlier albums; as Spears explained, "The fans really like a lot of the old songs, because that's what they are used to. So it's just about finding the balance, and how many songs I wanna incorporate from the past and from the present."[20]

The costume design was done by Zaldy Goco, and the outfits were created to fit the different personas of Spears throughout the show. He also commented that the inspiration for the costumes was "Britney herself [...] She's a very sexy girl." Among the outfits that Goco previewed to

St. Bernard Project dinner, hosted by Spears, stating that she would join her during the performances of "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" at select dates, such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York City.[22] On June 7, 2011, a video surfaced online of Spears seeing the stage for the first time, along with a soundcheck of the audio, and staging for "Hold It Against Me". According to Jocelyn Vena of MTV, the stage "has it all: lights, video screens, a funky neon-colored floor, lasers, lifts and giant butterfly wings."[23] In an interview with Entertainment Tonight
on June 8, 2011, Spears said about the show,

"I'm really excited. I'm probably going to be extra nervous the day before. We've been working hard for, like, two months now, and everything's coming together really good. [...] [The show] can be kind of [grueling], especially when you're onstage and you're on your eighth number, you get really winded and you're like, 'How can I do the rest of the show?' But I've been training for a while and I actually — before I come to rehearsals — I've been working out and stuff like that so I won't have that predicament."[24]

"She's a great artist in every way and I'm really happy for her. I think she has a distinct sound when she raps. It really stands out and sets her apart from everyone else. I'm happy she's able to be on tour with me because that's just amazing."

—Spears talking about Nicki Minaj.[25]

After Minaj was announced as the opening act in April 2011, she said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show she was looking forward to creating "a new, a bigger, a brighter, a more spectacular show."[26] She stated that as much as her set was about the music, she wanted to put more theater on stage, saying, "my goal [is] to truly put on a show and incorporate theater and dance."[27] The hair and make-up was done by Marco Berardini, who was inspired by European women such as Brigitte Bardot. "It's the epitome of a strong woman. I wanted to bring out that strength and sexiness for all the girls on tour", he said. He applied Spears with makeup and designed it to "be a little bit neutral so that it could work with anything." As for the hair, it was changed at every show to fit the vibe of the city. For example, at the Uniondale show on August 2, 2011, Spears sported wavy hair, inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker and the street style of New York women.[28]

BuzzFeed reported that 23 18-wheeler trucks arrived at each venue at 5 a.m. on show day. It took 7 hours to unload and build the stage. Unlike most tours who built the stage from the bottom up, the stage was built from the ceiling down. The tour comprised 140 workers, 125 crew members, 14 tour buses, 16 dancers and 2 band members.[29] In July 2011, Spears told MTV News she was having "a blast" on the tour, commenting, "The shows have been equally amazing. The crowds have been so good each night and that gives you the adrenaline you need to get through the show. It just pumps you up."[30] She also talked about the performance of "Till the World Ends", saying that "at the end of the show, the last song [Minaj] comes on every once in awhile [sic]. Not every show, but it's usually special when she does it."[25] In an interview with Glamour in October 2011, Spears said: "I seriously think it's the best tour I've done so far. [...] right now I’m really excited about the show – this is the funnest show I've done in my career."[31]

Concert synopsis

During the performance of "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" (left), the dancers carried giant picture frames, while during "Lace and Leather" (right) Spears interacted with an audience member onstage.

After a

stalker reveals that Spears is a secret agent. The next section begins with Spears in a pink latex and lace jacket emerging from inside a speaker to perform "Big Fat Bass", while will.i.am appears in the backdrops. She removes the jacket to reveal a nude leotard for the performance of "How I Roll", which features a pink convertible Mini Cooper-like car and her dancers wearing colorful outfits.[33] This is followed by a segment in which Spears and her dancers select a male member from the audience. She then bursts into "Lace and Leather" and performs sensually for him. After a costume change, Spears goes into the song "If U Seek Amy" while wearing a white skirt over a fan, recalling Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene in The Seven Year Itch (1955).[34]

A video interlude in which the stalker talks about femme fatales throughout history introduces the third section of the show. Spears returns to the stage wearing a golden outfit and performs an Egyptian-inspired version of "

ninjas. At the end of the song, she goes below the stage and returns wearing a black sparkly bodysuit for "Till the World Ends". Halfway through the performance, Nicki Minaj appears on the backdrops rapping her verse of The Femme Fatale Remix of the song. She also joined Spears to perform the verse in select cities. After the song changes back to the original version, Spears starts flying on a platform with giant angel wings. The show ends with Spears and her dancers thanking the audience, as confetti falls and the "Femme Fatale" sign is lowered onstage.[33]

Critical response

During the performance of "Womanizer" (left), Spears wore a purple bra and denim shorts, while in "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" (right) she performed on a swing.

Barry Walters from

Staples Center [...] was the old, fun-loving, free-wheeling Spears — with a sexy, showgirl twist. There wasn't much pretense, though those glamazon outfits blinded in the best way possible. Instead, there was just good dance music."[37] Carla Meyer of The Sacramento Bee stated that "Though Spears performed like a pro throughout the show, hitting all her marks, she had shown hesitancy in her movements — natural for the first stop on a tour. But that hesitancy vanished when she put on the denim. She seemed at ease."[34]

Shaunna Murphy of

Jam! Canoe considered the show was "best described as Janet Jackson-like."[41]

Steve Palopoli of Metro Silicon Valley said, "Musically, the show is heavy on the hits, although considering Britney as a musical phenomenon is like asking which of Madonna's albums is best. She's a cultural phenomenon, obviously, and the only edicts that seem to have been handed down in regards to the music is 'no lip-synching' (she definitely doesn't) and 'bigger and louder whenever possible.'"[42] Shirley Halperin of The Hollywood Reporter stated it was "entertaining", but Spears "doesn’t quite have that spring in her dance step anymore and who requires a constant barrage of visual distractions while she mostly lip-synchs along to her hits".[36] Jim Harrington of the Oakland Tribune deemed the show as "a mess pretty much from start to finish. The theatrics are awkward and confusing, the dance routines are numbingly bland and old-hat, the song selection is weak and misguided, and Britney's star power, so blinding on tours past, is remarkably dim."[32] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian gave the show two stars out of five, saying that "there's a suspicion that the kind of person who goes to see Britney Spears live isn't really there for the music or her sparkling personality: tonight she seems as dead-eyed and distant as ever. What they're interested in is proximity to a global celebrity."[43] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave the show one star out of five, and called it "the saddest, laziest, dullest and most tawdry pop concert I have ever witnessed." He added that "the most amazing thing about the whole second-rate spectacle was that thousands of people, having forked out around £50 a head for tickets, practically raised the roof, cheering every dismal dance move, roaring for lip-synched vocals and lustily applauding limp erotica."[44]

Commercial reception

Spears was accompanied by her female dancers for "I'm a Slave 4 U" (left), while during "Gimme More" (right) she performed in a golden outfit.

Live Nation announced in early May 2011 a partnership with

Sacramento. The Groupon deals for shows in Seattle, Winnipeg, Saint Paul, and Atlanta actually expired before all available discounted tickets were sold. The editor also stated that "the shows look to be under-attended in smaller cities, even as, in metropolitan areas like Greater New York City, new shows have been added. It remains to be seen whether this could have been remedied by better price optimization, or whether the tour's ambition was more outsized than its actual draw."[46] The Femme Fatale Tour was ranked at number fifty-five by Pollstar on the Top 100 North American Tours list, grossing $6.2 million in the first ten shows.[47] On July 22, 2011, the shows in Atlanta and Nashville ranked Spears at number ten on Billboard's Hot Tours list, with a combined gross of $1,563,934.[48] On September 22, 2011, the tour was ranked at number six on the Top 20 Concert Tours list from Pollstar. It had an average gross of $940,165 per city, and an average ticket price of $84.19 during the shows in North America.[49][50]

Groupon and

English Midlands since The Onyx Hotel Tour in 2004. A week before the show, the venue's box office told the Leicester Mercury
that the concert was "probably about half-full. There's good availability".

In December 2011, the Femme Fatale Tour was number 19 on Billboard's Top 25 Tours of 2011. The magazine counted for 39 of the tour's dates (14 of which were sold out) with an overall gross of $37.1 million and 396,000 tickets sold.[52] In the North America, the tour was the fourteenth highest-grossing tour 2011, with $38.3 million in ticket sales and 423,017 people attending at an average of 9,196 per show.[53] Worldwide, the Femme Fatale Tour was the eleventh highest-grossing tour of 2011, with a gross of $68.7 million. 697,957 fans attended the shows worldwide, with an average attendance of 8,724, paying an average of $98.43.[2]

Broadcast and recordings

Main article: Britney Spears Live: The Femme Fatale Tour
Spears wore a kimono during the performance of "Toxic" (left), while during "Till the World Ends" (right) she flew over the stage on a platform with wings.

In July 2011, a high-quality recording of the Las Vegas show was uploaded to

takedown requests to YouTube, it is thought to be the first time the RIAA filed legal action against the video hosting site in order to obtain the personal details of an uploader. The case was closed after a week; according to a copyright lawyer, it is most likely that the subpoena was granted by the court and that YouTube agreed to hand over the personal details that were requested. The video was removed from YouTube, but copies of the full concert can still be found on the site.[54]

On August 12, 2011, Spears announced through her

3D by 3ality Digital.[55] On September 9, 2011, it was announced by the BBC that BBC Worldwide had attained distribution rights of the show outside the United States. The 2D version will be available for broadcast from Christmas Eve 2011, with the 3D version available in February 2012.[57] The special premiered on November 12, 2011 at 20:00 EST (01:00 UTC).[58] It received mixed reviews from critics: some praised the special and the impressive stage, while others criticized Spears' dancing.[59][60] The DVD and Blu-ray were released in the United States on November 21, 2011.[61][62] The DVD was released in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2011.[63] During the concert in Lima, Peru, the song "I Wanna Go" was professionally filmed by Coca-Cola as part of the competition "Dance with Britney Spears."[64]
