Happy 16^th Birthday to Britney’s Crazy 2K tour. The tour was a continuation of her ‘…Baby One More Time,’ tour to support her debut album and also her follow up, ‘Oops! I Did It Again.’ The tour started on March 8 2000 and ended in April of the same year, before moving on to her, ‘Oops! I Did It Again Tour.’

The tour was sponsored by Got Milk? And Poloroid.

The set list consisted of nine songs, seven from, ‘…Baby One More Time’ and two yet to be released songs from, ‘Oops! I Did It Again.’

The show was recorded and broadcast on Fox and a DVD called, ‘Live and More,’ was released.

Backstage footage to the show was shown on, ‘The Rosie O’Donnell Show.’

Britney announced the tour on MTV’s TRL on 17 December 1999, alongside the premier of her, ‘From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart,’ music video. Britney announced that this would be a continuation of her current tour and also a prelude to her future world tour.

The ‘Got Milk?’ media director, Peter Gardiner, commented on the reason for sponsorship stating, ‘Britney is magic with teen-age girls and that’s an absolutely crucial target for milk. Britney shot an advertising campaign that was shown before her performances began. Britney’s second sponsor, Polaroid released the ‘Polaroid I-Zone’ as the official camera of the tour. Britney used the ‘Polaroid I-Zone throughout the tour to take pictures of the audience to further promote the tour.

The set of the tour was similar to the, ‘…Baby One More Time,’ tour, however it was a lot bigger. There were many special effects, including smoke machines and fireworks that erupted during the show.

The screen was set to resemble a giant magical mirror from the 1937, ‘Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs’ movie. A magical carpet was also used, which set Britney 100 feet above the audience.

Jae-Ha from the Chicago Sun-Times said that Britney, ‘’showed why she has a leg up on blonder competitors such as Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore,’’ claiming that Britney just had the ‘It Factor.’ Critics and fans praised the show.

Britney was praised for her open approach to fans and spending hours chatting and taking photos with fans before and after the show.

Happy 16^th Birthday Crazy 2K!

We can all agree that Britney’s new Piece of me costumes are absolutely incredible but we always wondered who designed these fantastic costumes. Meet Soyon An:

She has worked with a number of big name talents such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, and Katy Perry, and now she’s bringing her masterful understanding of pop star apparel to bear on a number of new, custom-made pieces for the musical superstar:

Britney Spears seems to reaffirm her living legend status on a semi-daily basis — whether that means posting a Googled photo of corn on the cob to her Instagram, nonchalantly picking up abstract painting as a hobby, or dancing about in her bikini, proving her body hasn’t aged a day since “…Baby One More Time.” So, of course, when the singer decided to totally revamp her sexy Las Vegas show “Britney: Piece of Me,” she wasn’t going to do the new costumes halfway.

Britney’s stylist for the performance, Soyon An, has worked with a number of big name talents such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, and Katy Perry, and now she’s bringing her masterful understanding of pop star apparel to bear on a number of new, custom-made pieces for the musical superstar. First on the docket? Showing off that aforementioned killer bod. “There is a lot more skin showing in these costumes,” An told People exclusively via email. “We are also using more bodysuits than the previous iteration with a lot more stones and crystals …We wanted to create whole new worlds within the show for some of the new sections while giving new life to the sections that would remain intact from the previous version of the show.”

As to the reason behind this major change? “Britney wanted to take the costumes to the next level,” An says. “She looks better than ever and her body is in incredible shape. That means hotter, sexier costumes showing more leg, more midriff, more cleavage. The costumes on the new and improved show are the sexiest she’s worn.” One example: The green camo bodysuit with matching cape she wears, entitled “Dark Angel,” created by designer Nicolas Jebran, who tells PeopleStyle that “anything Britney wears looks amazing, so naturally it was easy to design with her inspirations and visions in mind. Being as creative as she is, we went back and fourth and came up with a gorgeous military look that opens the show.”

And then of course there’s her new black cutout body-con look complete with a sheer floor-skimming cape from LaBourjoisie, who tells PeopleStyle, “Working with Britney is like a dream. She is this generation’s pop icon.”

According to An, “[all] the designers did an incredible job of turning around from sketch to finish,” completing the entire process in a staggering 2 to 3 weeks. Not only that, but with all those crystal-encrusted looks and intense choreography, as you can imagine, accidents are bound to happen. But luckily, Britney has a team exclusively dedicated to checking her costumes each night post-performance, quickly repairing them for the next day of shows.

Finally, there’s also a brand new bodysuit from designer Bao Tranchi, the creator of that much-buzzed about Oscar gown worn by Ashley Graham as well as Gigi Hadid‘s super sexy AMA moment. Britney’s stylist insists, “If my body could ever be like Britney’s, I’m going to get [a Bao Tranchi bodysuit] for myself!”

While this set of designs and the body they cover are undoubtedly impressive, to say the least, the craziest fact of all about this performance? An says that the pop star’s fastest costume change happens in “twenty seconds max.” Britney, please teach us your six-pack-sporting, quick-change artist ways.

What do you think of Britney’s new costumes? Which is your favorite? Would you make the trip to Las Vegas to see this pop legend?

We are LOVING these new costume changes, keep them coming!
