Well … she did it. Britney Spears successfully performed the opening night show of her new tour The Circus starring Britney Spears in front of a sold out house at the New Orleans Area in New Orleans, LA last night. I did my best to stay away from as many spoilers from the show as I could so as not to ruin the experience for me weeks before I get to see her on stage for myself … and there were a lot of spoilers flying around as the show took place last night. THIS Twitter profile, created specifically for Britney‘s tour, provided almost minute-by-minute updates from the show. I chose not to read the posts. But the photos, well, those I could not pass up:

In order to NOT SPOIL the experience for those of you who wish to remain unspoiled, I have put all photos from last night’s show behind the cut. And while I did my best to stay unspoiled myself, I couldn’t help but look at a few photos. Additionally, BreatheHeavy.com posted a few new sketches (created by costume designers Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared) of some of Britney‘s amazing tour costumes, which I’ve also hidden behind the cut. After the jump, check out a few photos from Britney Spears‘s opening night performance in NoLA last night as well as a look at a few amazing sketches from her tour costumes — BE WARNED: Spoilers Ahead …

Since I’ve refrained from looking at the setlist that was made available yesterday, I have no idea which photos go with which songs. But, I have to say, I really love all of these pics. The show looks so fun, I cannot wait to see it for myself. I love that she is flying on the handle of that umbrella … it reminds me of the part in the (U Drive Me) Crazy Tour when she flew out over the audience on a magic carpet. AHHH, this is so exciting. I am also going to refrain from reading any concert reviews from last night’s show … I’m not sure if I can stay away from all the fun show surprises in the weeks leading up to my first concert next month but I’m sure gonna try.

Here are a few sketches that were created by designers Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared that show the costumes they created exclusively for Britney‘s new tour:

OY! I can’t take it … so much amazingness all at once. I’ve been hearing from a few Pink readers who were in the hiz last night and by all accounts, Britney put on a stunningly entertaining show. I CANNOT WAIT to see it when the Circus comes to town here in LA next month. Much love and best wishes goes out to Britney as her tour continues to make its way around the country. I knew she could do it, I knew that this day would come. Britney‘s back, stronger and ready to take the world by storm … again :)
