Britney Spears Playbacks Mexico City For Two Million Dollars

By Ikam Acosta

Britney Spears played a free concert for 60,000 fans on December 4th to celebrate the beginning of Mexico City's holiday season.

After nine years without a Britney concert in the area, the pop star returned to Mexico, only to offer playback, instead of singing live for the crowd. At least the fans didn't have to pay if they actually wanted to see her sing live, although they really didn't seem to mind.

Spears' concert wasn't, however, free for Mexico City. Mexico City paid Britney Spears a cool 2 million dollars to play at the Monumento a la Revolución. The concert was part of the December festivities organized by the city's local government.

Although Britney's holiday concert appearance failed to completely fill the venue with adoring fans, the fans who were present seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

"Tal como lo hizo una noche antes en el Foro Sol, donde congregó a 40 mil seguidores, 'La Princesa del Pop' salió al escenario del Monumento a la Revolución generando los gritos desesperados que la esperaban con ansias y, a ritmo de Hold it against Me, la cantante arrancó la velada", said a local newspaper.

Britney is currently touring Latin America to promote Femme Fatale, her latest album.
