Britney On Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Britney Spears appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight to promote her re-release "American Dream: The Pop Bible" as well as "Sun-kissed" with a small performance. Britney talked about creating the exclusive visual edition on iTunes stating that "it was very fun to do that, yeah.. it was really cool actually because I shot it in so many places you know like when I do a video normally it's like one location, one big studio in LA most of the time and a lot of green screen going on, a lot of effects.. but with this visual album it was kinda more real, and more natural.. you know? Like I shot some videos in Italy, I shot some in downtown LA, I recorded a couple in Hawaii, I did some Paris, I did one in New York City so it was like a fun experience for me to actually record uh in so many different places that I don't usually you know stay at to enjoy. So while I was shooting videos, I was also getting to experience some of the beautiful scenery I usually miss out on and it was also fun to you know have a tight schedule and really have to work to get everything done on time and make sure I had people that were putting the shots together quickly to make a good video for the visual edition of the album, it was just a really cool experience."
Britney also talked about recording over 140 songs to end up only using a total of 33 for the largest edition of the album which is the Best Buy exclusive edition. She said that she may just release all her un-released songs if she ever were to retire as some huge digital download, just to give fans more music than they could possibly handle.. so they could enjoy that music for years after she officially retires, Britney confirmed that she has over 780 recorded and mastered released songs and stated that she believed "over one hundred" of them are "single material" but that she prefers to record new music when making new albums instead of re-hashing stuff on the shelves. Britney talked about all her photo-shoots during the era and said that they were the most time consuming part of her "American Dream" era aside from the special fox/mtv documentaries. Britney talked about her "Naughty Girl Tour" and how excited she was to bring it to the states this week and continue playing in U.S stadiums next week. Britney also talked about "Sun-kissed" for a little bit and how happy she was that it was at the top of iTunes this whole week.
Performance:
Britney had a very simplistic performance prepared for her appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", instead of going all out in choreography and props, she decided to tone it down completely. Britney sat on a white stool wearing a long black dress as she sang a piano-ballad version of "Sun-kissed" completely live. Smoke surrounded the stage as Britney sang this new rendition of "Sun-kissed", the rendition was much slower than the original which resulted in the performance lasting over five minutes. Britney powered through the vocals and hit several high/low notes, her voice has improved greatly since last year. Britney thanked her fans for always supporting her at the end of the performance.

iHeartRadio Music Awards
(Performance)
Taylor Swift live at this years iHeartRadio music awards where she performed a medley of her latest number one singles and some of the album tracks off her latest album 'Electric Princess' which debuted at the second spot on the albums chart this week with over five hundred thousand copies being sold making it Swift's biggest opening week sales in the past two years beating out her last studio albums sales four hundred and forty five thousand copies and the studio album before that Coven 13 which opened with over four hundred and fifty thousand copies being sold. With three consecutive number one singles to launch the album there was little to no surprise that the album was such a huge success for the American singer-songwriter.
The singer took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Awards after being introduced to the stage by her biggest fan Paige Elliot who was fresh out of captivity in her apartment to introduce her long time friend and old flame to the stage. "I want everyone to get on their ****ing feet for our next performer who's about to absolutely kill it. She's one of the most hardworking women in the industry. She's absolutely stunning and can keep up with any bitch who thinks she's a model on that runway. I would know as I've walked with her down many runways in my career. She's a bonafide actress and she's an amazing singer and songwriter. And lastly she's an amazing friend and lover if I may say. Everyone please welcome to the stage, the Electric Princess, Taylor Swift!" Taylor would then take the stage as the lights in the venue would shine bright before shifting down on to the stage.
Taylor sat upon a throne that was made of glass, wearing a dress that was similar to many of her Swarovski performances that she wore. She laid and semi sat on it in a pose as she looked out at the audience with eyes of lust but with innocence at the same time. She would then start singing the intro of 'In Love For A Night' a song from her seventh studio album 'Electric Princess' which she at the time was performing a medley from. The medley performance was incredible as Taylor showed off her improved performance skills and stage presence with one of the final performances of the Electric Princess album campaign. The performance served as amazing promotion for the album. You can get Taylor Swift's seventh studio album 'Electric Princess' now in stores and on iTunes.

T4 IN THE PARK
(Concert)
Taylor Swift was live at this years T4 In The Park which had full coverage by BBC Radio One and for the first time Capital FM at the same time, the two biggest radio stations in the United Kingdom deciding to give full coverage on the concert festival that was held this year in Hyde Park. Taylor was one of the leading artists who would headline the weekend long event, the other being none other that Swift's label mate Eric Saade would perform at the festival as promotion or as others would say to build anticipation for his upcoming album that would be released in the next few months, an October release being slated for the singer's seventies influenced record. The festival was a huge success with singers like Zendaya, Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, and even a special guest mini concert from Rihanna being performed at the event.
With over one hundred thousand people at the event, tTaylor caused much uproar from the fans as the entire crowd screamed when she popped out on stage on her glass throne to perform 'I Knew You Were Trouble'. The entire placed was electric suiting the vibe of Swift's latest disco album 'Electric Princess' which has become a huge hit for the singer commercially and critically becoming her most successful to date in both areas. "I want to thank you all so much for coming out tonight and supporting all of us artists who are performing here. I remember about ten years ago I was doing like the live tent at Glastonbury. I'm not sure if it was that festival in particular but there were about two hundred people in the crowd. At that time I thought that was absolutely huge. Now standing here in front of all one hundred and fifty thousand of you, I can't just express to you in words how amazing this is. But I can sing it. I'm going to sing you all a song I haven't performed in awhile. It's the title track off my fifth album… This is All At Once.
Taylor would then give a very intimate and piano performance of the song she hadn't performed in about a year. It was rumored that the song was supposed to be the fifth single off the album and was rumored to become Swift's most pushed and promoted that song. But do to complications with Swift's schedule the song was scrapped and Swift moved onto making the next album. The audience sang along as despite not being a single was a top ten single in the United Kingdom. "Because looking at you, sitting here thinking back on it now, I can't describe the feeling of loving you. It was everything. All emotions, sadness and love, I felt everything all at once" Swift sang as the audience repeated her. The entire set was broadcasted on BBC Radio and Capital FM too, audio being aired on radio and video being aired on ITV. You can get Taylor Swift's seventh studio album 'Electric Princess' now in stores and on iTunes.

Britney Spears On The Voice Australia
(August 3rd)
The day Britney Spears released her single "Sun-kissed" she was not on her "Naughty Girl Tour" which is why Spears appeared on The Voice Australia to promote her new single and the re-release of her album in Australia. Britney was a guest judge on the show and provided good critiques for the contestants while remaining helpful and not too harsh. Britney danced along to several performances and the contestants + fans of the show were happy to have her there. Before closing the show with a performance of her new single, Britney mentioned the re-release of her album and aired the TV spot for the "American Dream: The Pop Bible" album live on the show before having it released elsewhere. The album rose to the top spot on iTunes during the show thanks to Britney's promotion on The Voice. Britney has a large fan base in Australia but this appearance helped push her music and album after not visiting Australia since she moved her Naughty Girl Tour to America after only two Australian dates. Britney announced on the show that she would eventually bring the tour back to Australia, perhaps after she finished touring the United States and before she ventured into South America and Europe once more. Britney also trended on twitter in Australia with #BritneyOnTheVoice #BritneyAmericanDreamPopBible, her performance and judging turned out to be an incredible boost for her positions on the Australian charts this week.
Performance:
The performance started with Britney descending onto the stage on top of a huge TV prop. She was laying across the TV wearing a black one piece bikini with black pumps. The TV turned on and was showing a bunch of basic shows. Britney got off the TV as "Sun-kissed" started playing, Britney took a sledgehammer and broke the TV prop and kicked it down to the ground, she threw the sledgehammer and grabbed a beach towel from inside the TV prop. She laid down on the towel on stage and applied sun-screen while putting her sunglasses on. Britney kicked her feet up as a bunch of girls in hot pink bikinis came to the stage and laid their towels down on the stage as well, laying down next to Brit Brit. Britney sang "Sun-kissed" live while laying down on the ground and looking at a big sun prop hanging in the air. Britney then got up with her girls and performed a slow dance break while the sun prop lit up as the dance break got more and more complex. A bunch of guys in beach shorts came to the stage as well and everyone danced in a big circle with Britney facing the camera as they flipped their hair and sang along to "Sun-kissed". Britney got the crowd feeling the summer vibe and her dancing + vocals were both very entertaining. The performance ended with everyone holding Britney up in the air as the stage faded to black.

[B]NIGHT 19/B]
Taylor Swift played the fourth night of her Electric Princess Tour, in Medellin, Colombia tonight. To a sold out crowd of 60,552 people, Taylor gave a show full of stunning visuals, video montages, and performances of songs of songs in her six album discography. Every song on her 'Coven 13: The EP' was performed, some serving as interludes rather than full performances but every song was included in the set. The tour follows the evolution of a girl who has been dubbed as "insane" or "crazy" and is sent to a mental hospital where she is rather tortured than helped. She begins to reminisce before being sent to the hospital, thinking back to the events that led up to her getting sent to the hospital. More downtempo songs like 'Losing Touch', and the collab 'Gunshots' are performed here, along with a cover of Beyoncé and Jay Z's ' On The Run'. She then comes back to reality, facing the truth of what is wrong in her life with songs like "I Knew You Were Trouble", 'Girl With the Red Lipstick" and a few more. The final act is 'The Electric Princess', which is the last of the act of the show. Taylor instead of getting better hast turned into a egotistical monster aka The Electric Princess. The biggest hit of Swift's career 'Swarovski' closes the show as Swift is coronated as the 'Electric Princess'.

Britney Spears On The View
Britney Spears appeared on "The View" earlier today to promote her "Naughty Girl Tour", re-release of her album, and new single "Sun-kissed". Britney sat down to talk for a 15 minute interview before performing her new single. During the interview Britney talked about her love life and stated that she may be planning to have another baby soon, once she finishes up her "Naughty Girl Tour" which won't be done for at least another three months. Spears said that "I can't wait to have another baby. I've always wanted to have you know a big family with a lot of kids and I think I'm really ready to have another baby and I'm with a guy I love so I mean I've always wanted a baby girl you know a little mini me I could spoil so yeah it'd be cool to have a baby after I'm done with the tour and I can't say I'm not constantly thinking about it". Britney also talked about her tour saying that it is her "biggest production yet" and that she is very happy with the results of the tour confirming that each show has been 100% sold out, she said that she loves the feeling of looking into the audience and seeing thousands of loving fans screaming her name every night. She couldn't describe the feeling but she said there's "nothing else in this world that can match that feeling".
Britney also made sure to talk about the re-release of her "American Dream" album, mentioning all three versions from the original re-release to the visual edition to the best buy exclusive version. She said that her favorite edition of the album is a tie between the Best Buy edition and the visual album, she loves that the Best Buy edition contains many exclusives and 33 total tracks; however, she said that recording the visual album and seeing the complete product come to live was one of her proudest moments as an artist. She talked about recording so many songs for the album stating that she wanted to make sure it was perfect and "top quality material only", she didn't want to settle for a mediocre album; instead, she wanted to make sure she released one of the best albums of the year which is why each version of the album contains so many songs. Britney said that most artists release albums that don't even get near 20 songs and that she was happy to change that and release an album with 33 tracks (through the Best Buy edition) because she is not like every other pop star and she wants to make sure that fans are getting a quality product for spending over $10 dollars on her album. Britney said that making quality music is all for the fans and that success just comes with it, promoting her music makes her happy and she doesn't do it for the numbers, she does it so her fans can enjoy her era as a whole and get a "whole lot of Britney" before she disappears into oblivion until she is ready to release another album.
Performance:
The performance was very simplistic and involved Spears wearing a one piece black bikini as she danced her way through hula hoops. She also took a hose and sprayed water on herself/on her female dancers wearing pink bikinis. The girls danced around and staged and flipped their wet hair while performing slow and sensual dance breaks to the chorus of "Sun-kissed". The performance ended with smoke surrounding the stage.

FALLON
(Interview & Performances)
Taylor Swift was live on tonight's episode of Fallon where she interviewed and also performed for him. Swift was one of the few major musical guests who were on the show this week, actually being the most successful artist who was on the show. Taylor was interviewed about her upcoming album which debuted at the number two slot last week with over five hundred thousand copies sold making it her highest first week sales in two years, especially in the dismal state the sales are currently in right now. It marks the third highest week sales this year by an artist. Many say that Swift missed out on the top spot due to her promoting a single and album that week. But it doesn't really matter as the album proved to be a success commercially and critically for the singer-songwriter.
"Commercial success is something I'm not really that worried about anymore. Of course I'm going to go out there and promote my music for my label and fans but I'm not going to sit on my twitter and check chart news or Hits Daily Double for the sales forecast for the record. I'm going to sit in my penthouse in New York City or Paris with my fiancé. Like the last thing on my mind is how many records I'm going to sell first week. But I'm very appreciative for all of the people who went out there and bought over five hundred thousand copies of the record. I'm very proud of it." Taylor Swift told falling. She would then take to the stage to perform a few songs from the album. Those songs were 'Sex Kitten', 'In Love for a Night', and 'Cathedrals'.

Britney Spears On 102.7 KISS FM
Britney Spears called in to 102.7 KISS FM today to discuss her new single "Sun-kissed" and talk about the re-release of her album + the future of her career. Britney chatted with Ryan Seacrest and said that she had just "stepped out of the shower" and was calling with nothing but a towel on. Britney Spears talked about her famous "Sun-kissed burger", which is just a burger with cheese and lettuce and corn flakes, Ryan was intrigued by the corn flakes but Britney assured him that it is very good and that he has to try making it but not around people because "that's weird". Britney talked about her love life and confirmed to Ryan that she does want to have more kids and that her relationship with Cristiano is moving rather quickly. Britney talked about her new single "Sun-kissed" and said that it was fun to record, she talked about wanting to make a summer theme single to end the era since her whole "American Dream" album was planned to be more of a summer fun pop album. She said that the original concept of the era got lost with some things she did along the way but that she was happy to bring it full circle this week with a summer themed song. Britney talked about the re-release of her album and said that she was very happy to release it, she said she loved every song on the album and explained why she titled it "The Pop Bible". Britney said she called it that because her fans constantly refer to Blackout as "The Pop Bible" and she wanted to make sure they started referring to American Dream as "The Pop Bible" because it is her best album yet. Britney said she was completely happy with the final result and thankful for the success it has received this past week, Britney was humble when Ryan mentioned that she had sold over 3 million records this summer and gone on a sold out worldwide tour, reminding Ryan that it is not about the records, that it is about fans loving the music and videos and performances. Britney told Ryan that she does it all for the fans and that she is very happy to please the fans and promote all week to make them happy and to make them enjoy her "American Dream" era. Britney said that she plans to continue her "Naughty Girl Tour" and add many more dates over the next few months and stray away from promotion, she is content with her 3+ million record sales for the summer and is ready to boost up the amount of tour dates she has and bring her stadium tour to all her fans around the world. Ryan ended the interview by playing "Sun-kissed" on 102.7 KISS FM.

I agree Azealia and Charli XCX are not in the way of Mariah this week tbh. But I am a little worried about Britney surpassing Mariah tbh
