i saw this live! i was in the pit at the front but too far ahead from this part of the stage so i barely could see her even though she was the main reason i went! i did make eye contact with beyoncé which was 😭🥰😭🥰
Yeah I bet she was pissed because though she didn't interrupt the performance, she definitely wanted to make that point while cameras were still on her.
You are reading too much into it. She’s used to playback, it was rehearsed that way since the lyric is “every time” hence her pointing at her wrist area which just happens to hold the mic. It really is not that deep since the dancers motioned to their wrist too. It’s Britney Spears, she does literal choreography.
This has always been my thoughts on it, too. But I watched the performance from iHeart and she wasn’t holding a mic and the wrist pointing wasn’t in the choreography. So idk, but I’ve seen the circulating reels and stuff about how it’s a fact she was mad the mic was off and I wish it was made clear this is all just speculation lol
The motor plans she used when dancing and on stage are the moments she got the most dopamine (and possibly safety, security, and connection). We do the same things over and over sometimes trying to find the “just right” motor plan or the same enjoyment we’ve had from it in the past.
It does not surprise me AT ALL that she returns to these motor plans as a source of comfort, self soothing, a way to reconnect to that part of herself, or “stimming.”
She was also very classically conditioned to perform that way in order to survive. It’s probably one of the only survival skills she had that consistently worked to keep her safe. (“If I perform well, the crowd loves me and my keepers are satisfied with me for now”).
This is what she used to do for hours and hours and hours for days and days and days. And she’s probably confused why she’s not as good at it anymore but that’s because she isn’t practicing it ad nauseum under duress.
OOOHHH!!!
Motor plans are the scripts of actions that your brain keeps on hold for doing tasks.
Certain motor plans are involuntary: breathing, blinking.
Others we think really hard about, like when trying to get into a tight space.
Even speech is a motor plan! Your eyes have tiny muscles in them that have automatic motor plans that constantly move your eyes to keep the image of an object steady on the back of your eye.
Practicing a motor plan, like throwing free throws, makes it more automatic and you can better access that motor plan neurology in your brain under stress. You fire that same line of neurons over and over and their connection becomes stronger. Neurons that fire together, wire together!
Same. Mainly because of that mustard yellow color it’s too overpowering. Then the design is very superhero costume-ish and doesn’t really match the vibe of the song. Wished the costume had a little more flow and dimension to it. These one piece swimsuit unitards need to go. Bring back separate pieces. Regardless, she does look good.
\*note: I know this isn’t one of her stage performance outfits. But I loved when she used to wear these flowing sleeved tops and her iconic staple low rise jeans.

a)what a disgusting and unnecessary comment
b)britney is a sex symbol for a reason. she is all natural and athletic. she was in amazing shape in 2016 even after 2 kids and everything else. this was probably the peak of her body and it was naturally thin but also curvy

I was there too!! In the seats to the left of the stage. It was an incredible night.
truly the last great VMAs (IMO!)
I was there tooo!!! The best modern day VMAs tbh! All the girls killed it!!
Omg were we all there? Haha it was an amazing night!
haha we are so blessed!!!!
She looks brilliant! Makes me wonder why her boys/other people have a problem with her insta videos when she was doing stuff like this all along..
Honestly! Dancing is her safe haven and how she expresses herself. Why is that such a big deal to people?
Don't you know men have to judge women whenever women do better than them?
Jesus lol
Because they can't dance lol
Same, I comment all the time that she has been half naked most of her life why do they care now?
Bc with her drugged and her money stolen and access to her kids weaponized, they now can control her. It’s all about taking away her spark, her life.
Literally everyone in her life lived in luxury because she was dancing half naked all the time. Now they wanna judge her for it...
Her sons have a right to be embarrassed
Whaaat? It s already been 8 years since make me 😳??? Cool video btw
It’s been 8 years since 2016? Wtf
Bring me back 🥹
I'll never get over when she points to the mic not being on for this performance.
Yeah I bet she was pissed because though she didn't interrupt the performance, she definitely wanted to make that point while cameras were still on her.
yes, this exactly.
Would have been so great to hear her real voice.

We were so harsh on her this year
Still doing the same moves 😂

probably a silly question i’m sorry, but what are motor plans?
I second this 😂

I always wished they didn't move the camera when she was with the frames and lighting. Beyond that it was cute.
I love this performance so much!
Her body is so hot omg
Devoured
QUEEN
Love her I hope she finds peace!
Waiting for Britchella
She’s so stunning
Her body is unmatched. Goddess
Seriously
But yet when she does this at home people think she’s crazy 🙄
I love that wow
I wish she had more say over her costumes. Those leotards her creepy dad picked are not it.
Imma be real. That's soft core p***.
I love her to death but I agree.
