So … because Good Morning America tapes live here in NYC from 7 – 9AM guests for this morning’s show had to be in the tent at Lincoln Center by 6:45AM. David and I had a difficult time waking up, getting ready and getting out of the apartment … we were up before the sun was. But once we got uptown to the Big Apple Circus, we were rearin’ to go. The tent was full of really excited fans and you could tell that everyone was really looking forward to seeing Britney Spears perform. We were told repeatedly before getting inside the venue that if we were seen taking photos we’d be removed … but as soon as we all got in, the cameras came out and there was nary a word said. Here are a few pics that I managed to snap from my seat:
When Mama Lynne Spears, Bryan Spears and the little ones Sean Preston and Jayden James came in and took their seats the place went wild. Little JJ was waving to people in the crowd, it was really cute. Despite what some folks continue to say about Britney‘s performance, I can assure you it was very cool to see in person. Every single person in that Big Top tent had a blast … it was electric. I’m very much looking forward to seeing Britney out on tour next year. Here are a few pics of David and me with the signs they handed to us as we entered the tent and a pic with Pink reader Michael who I got to meet this morning:
I also got to meet Joe, Julie and Meg as well this morn … it was a pleasure meeting you all :)
Again, I have no interest in arguing with people about what they think about Britney Spears and what she gives or doesn’t give them or what she offers and doesn’t offer them. I’ve been a fan from the beginning, I’ll be a fan til the end. I dunno why that makes some people so angry and negative. If they aren’t diggin’ what she’s doing, I don’t get why they have to be so vocal in their displeasure. I’m not sure who they’re trying to convince … mebbe themselves? In any event, I’m glad that things are going so well for our dear Britney Spears these days. Even tho some folks take issue with her music she still manages to get to #1. Even tho some folks take issue with her live performances she still manages to win huge ratings for her TV appearances. Even to some folks claim her upcoming tour will be “boring” or whatever she still manages to sell thousands upon thousands of concert tickets. I’m happy to support her and will continue to do so. It’s gonna be a great year ahead, I can already feel it.
Tonight, David and I are taking his sister Eden out for an early birthday celebration (she turns one year older tomorrow) … we hope to make a great night of it, it’s my last visit to NYC until after Xmas.
her boys are adorable…i wish she would stop dressing them the same tho.
but im sorry trent i dont agree with one of your statments. i get you were a fan from the beginning and i 100% respect that. but not everyone is going to feel the same..and people are going to say what they feel, just like you do. why have a comments section if you dont wanna hear why people have to say?
Trent,
First, I would like to say that I like your blog, and I have respect for you. Second, I’ve been a Britney fan since the beginning, and I was on her side for the last 3 years (I still love the bitch, lol). However, Trent, you should be able to admit that Britney’s performances in the last week have been subpar when compared to who she used to be. She used to light up a stage, she was a force, she was vibrant, her moves were intricate, she had swagger. Her choreography wasn’t good, and she seemed like she didn’t want to be there half the time. We know Britney’s not the best singer, but that had never stopped her before. I know you were there this morning, and being at an actual performance is a totally different experience than watching it on TV. But, putting all of that aside, she still wasn’t the old Britney. Yes, compared to her VMA performance, she was eons better. I still support her (I just bought the album on iTunes) but I don’t think she’s ready to give us the REAL Britney, the Britney the world fell in love with.
Trent, I love your blog and everything you post in it. You have things that yes, are more for your friends, but who cares? This is your blog, and the haters need to get over it. I’m a Britney fan, yes, and have stood with her through the thick and thin, so I love the updates on her; but I don’t go bitching about some of the coverage on here about other celebs that I don’t care about and don’t wanna read- I scroll down! People need to understand that this is YOUR blog and this is not a democracy- it’s a Trentocracy, and that’s why so many people read it. Keep up the fantastic blog and DON’T change a thing!
I can’t believe I missed her on GMA! :( I think she is looking fierce and doing well. My friend and I are going to her show in Kansas City!
Plus I thought her For the Record was really good. I would just love some of the haters to have nasty paparazzi in their face 24/7 and see how they would feel.
I have never been a HUGE fan of Britney, (huge meaning following everything she does, have every album, etc) but I always have enjoyed her. Anyway, I am actually considering going to see her show here in NOLA because well it is the first one and I really didn’t think she would even come here so yeah…may go see my first Britney show.
Peter – I don’t think we should (or that Trent is doing this) compare Britney now to Britney then. She’s older, and is in a different place. She was drugged for heavens sakes, and maybe she’s just not ready to bare her soul again and have it ripped apart like it was at the VMA’s. She’s a performer through and through and I think that these last performances gave her the courage to do the tour. I think the key word to use in Britney’s performances is hesitant. Plus, Trent did say (as well as a lot of other people) that it was better in person!
Thanks so much for what you said, Trent!!!!! She is doing so well right now and it is nice to know that not all blogs and celebrity-related sites are bashing her. I have been a fan of hers from the beginning and am glad to see her doing better. I got my tickets for the Dallas show this morning and can’t wait for March 31st!!! Yay!
I coudln’t agree with you more Trent. I’ve noticed people in my life, when speaking about both Britney and Madonna, that can get so vocally negative and downright hateful. It’s really strange to me. If you don’t have anything positive to say, just keep it to yourself.
Gross. I know y’all like her and stuff.. but she needs to get some better fitting shorts. I just about puked when I saw her flabby ass hanging out the bottoms of those shorts!
Couldn’t keep it to myself, Joshua.
I agree everyone has their opinions and that’s all well and good but I fully agree with many of the statements in this regard:
There are things in this blog that I don’t care about or about people I don’t like. I, too, skip over them. I don’t feel the need to read about/ watch those posts and then comment negatively about them or anything really.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say…”
People, you need to accept the fact that you’re obsessed with Britney Spears. Whether you’re talking crap or saying she’s a goddess, you’re obsessed.
Love her or hate her, you still CAN’T STOP watching and talking about her!
P.S. I love my Britney, Bitch!!!
[...] GMA performance was [...]
Trent — You are the man.
Thanks for summing up my feelings about Britney, her fans, her performances, her appeal and the bewildering reaction of some people to all of it. I’m in the “once a fan, always a fan” category with you.
Can we think back to a year ago today and get a Hallelujah, pleeeez???
When she busted out “Circus” this a.m. she was officially back. To the non-believers who don’t like those abs, the re-emergence of her signature dance moves, and most of all, the return of that smile, just look away — if you can, that is! ; )
Happy Birf-day, B!!
I agree with ashley h, don’t like it – just skip it. It is his blog so he should write whatever he wants. However, the past few weeks there has been so much about Britney on this blog, if I skip, I would have to skip a lot. Although I really like the blogs and pictures of Britney, there seems to be an overkill right now.
Ashley H – I didn’t have to be there in person to see that Britney isn’t ready! Don’t get me wrong, I love Britney. She can probably kill someone and I would still lover her, lol, but there is no denying that she’s not ready. She was FORCED into doing this. She should’ve moved out of the country and waited a year. Of course we should compare the Britney of now to the Britney of then. That’s who we all love. No one wants a half-ass-thrown-together-in-two-seconds Britney. Why would anyone want to see a SO-SO Britney when we know what the POWERFUL Britney can do?!?!?!?!?!?!??
Ashley, you just proved my point….. “She was drugged for heavens sakes…” If she was drugged, she shouldn’t been performing in the first place. I’m so happy that she’s better now than how she was the last couple of years, but she still has a long way to go. Just the way she was walking all around the circus rink reminded me of the 2007 VMAs.
No one can deny, not you or Trent, that what I finished stating is true. You can sugar coat it all you want….. but he truth is out there. Check youtube…. wait I’ll do that for you.

Bah humbug, Peter.
I’m with you, Trent. I love me some Britters and all the haters can go try to find a life. As if.
Lou,
Hey, it’s all true! I just want what’s best for Britney, but these so-called “fans” can’t see the truth. They see what they want to see.
I think BB’s motherhood instincts have finally kicked in instead of the drugs. wooo weeee Britney!! Love ya, you’ll get a hot club it sometime soon!
I Love U 4 saying that, you are right, It’s not that she sings, It’s the power of her show what makes her special :)
