Britney Spears Scorches The Stage With G-Eazy During iHeartRadio Music Festival Set

Once a reclusive pop star, Britney Spears brought forth the energy and feist of the woman we fell in love with years ago for her 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival set on Saturday night (September 24).

For her performance, B lifted several concepts from her award-winning Sin City residency. Still, this was a night to remember for the Britney Army, considering she hasn’t performed at a music festival in half a decade. So when Britney marched into the venue from the opposite end of the arena for her entrance into the sold-out T-Mobile Arena, you knew it was about to be a show-stopping spectacle.

Offering the crowd plenty of razzle dazzle and choreography with 8 female and 8 male backup dancers, Spears whipped her way through a number of hits, including "Womanizer" and "I'm A Slave 4 U," but it wasn't just her classics. During her set, she also lifted a dance tribute to the one and only Missy Elliott from her Vegas show. If you needed your dose of new B cuts, you had some Glory-ious choices, including "Do You Wanna Come Over?" as well as "Make Me," which featured a special guest appearance from G-Eazy for the finale performance. Similar to her 2016 MTV Video Music Awards rendition, Britney took on Bebe Rexha's duties for the "Make Me"/"Me, Myself & I" medley.

After the set, #iHeartBritney started to trend worldwide, so we're just going to say: It's Britney, b*tch.

This marks Spears' third appearance at our iHeartRadio Music Festival. Back in 2012, Spears partook in hosting festivity alongside Ryan Seacrest and returned the following year to introduce Miley Cyrus' set, where the pop star performed her hit "Wrecking Ball" for the very first time ever.

Prior to the broadcast, Miss American Dream spoke about who she was eager to see perform during the two-night stint, and let's just say that she was "really excited" to see the men of the evening. "I love Sam Hunt. I can't wait to see him perform. I think my heart melts for him and probably Sting," she revealed. "I absolutely love Sting and twentyonepilots. Those are my three favorite." 

If you missed out on the iHeartRadio Music Festival action, tune into the broadcast of the mega-concert October 6 and 7 on the CW.
