Britney Spears is coming to town tonight on her Femme Fatale Tour and I thought I would give her some love considering I feel like we go way back. I must preface this short history with the fact that I have attended a large variety of concerts, including the painfully pop ones that are more like seeing a magic or circus show. I grew up with an older sister who used to shed tears at Nsync concerts if that helps explain anything.
My first concert I ever attended was Britney Spears at the Gorge, which in retrospect is interesting in itself because she seems a bit out of place at an outdoor amphitheater in eastern Washington. Anyway, mostly I remember the drive being really long.
Time passed and every time she came to Seattle I felt like I was at different milestones in my life: “I can’t believe we can actually drive ourselves to the concert,” and “I can’t believe I’m allowed to drink beer at a Britney Spears concert.” Now it has been more than ten years since that first concert, and I just can’t believe she’s still going!
Britney Spears – “Hold It Against Me”
Please don’t “Hold It Against Me,” but tonight I’ll be at the Tacoma Dome with my partner in pop crime, my older sister, where we will see the princess herself once again. I imagine we will be singing more than she will be, and that the show will be just as bizarre as the video above (I’m secretly hoping there will be glitter involved). Wish me luck!
