Britney Spears: Femme Fatale Tour

Top 10 Fun Facts

1. Wake-up call: at 5am on show day, 23 18-wheelers roll into the venue to begin set-up. And you thought YOU were a heavy packer.
2. Yeah, baby! One of the inspirations behind Britney's Femme Fatale Tour was to feature her as an "international woman of mystery." Rival spies beware!
3. To boldly go where Britney's never gone before: the Femme Fatale Tour includes a South American leg, set to include several locations that will be a first for Ms. Spears.
4. After its first ten shows, the Femme Fatale Tour had already grossed $6.2 million bucks. Not bad for a week and a half's work.
5. Fashion forward: Britney's costumes on this tour were designed by Zaldy Goco, who has also worked with Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga.
6. You've heard of a girl in every port? How about a 'do for every date? Britney changes her hairstyle for each location on the Femme Fatale Tour, to reflect the city she's in.
7. Britney's tour by the numbers: 140 workers, 125 crew members, 14 tour buses, 16 dancers, 2 band members and 1 blonde goddess with dance moves that don't quit!
8. Try that with Legos: the crew builds the stage from the ceiling downward, rather than starting from the bottom up. Magic may or may not be involved.
9. Speaking of Femme Fatales... this album's U.S. chart peak ties Britney Spears with both Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey for the third-most number ones by a female artist. Girl power, y'all.
10. Twitter speaks, the world listens: when Rihanna asked her Twitter followers which artist they'd like to see her collaborate with, the clear answer was Britney Spears. The remix of "S&M" became Britney's 5^th #1 hit.
