The Blond Ambition recording of the Barcelona show is infamous as her actual hair became unexpectedly poofy due to the humidity. 1

As there are too many to list, I only included above the elements I found the most pertinent. Here's what appears to not be "missing" from the show: representation for several of her films (I would have expected WE, I'm Going to Tell You a Secret, and Raising Malawi); a single performance or sample of anything from Hard Candy (which, with Britney's book and Justin's deservedly awful press is now even less likely to happen); a mention of or nod to Christopher Ciccone, likely due to his tell-all book; a clear nod to Niki Harris and Donna De Lory; and tbh, I think she should have had a matador at some point to represent either Take a Bow incredible success or Living for Love. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks like 1986 - 1992 are the eras best represented by the show. I'm just in awe at how much she managed to stuff into the show's runtime. Wow this is such a comprehensive list I could never remember everything you're correct that a few lines of Causing A Commotion were sung in Belgium, it was show 2 on the 22nd of October. She also said in the same show that her brother Anthony had had a lot of impact on her career. 1

Pics of her post hospitalization and opening night prove this 5 hours ago, tiagol88 said: yeah it seems like her butt is only bigger with that last outfit...it has to be padding. I was within a metre of her at times during the show, including at the end with the last outfit, and it definitely looks like padding. It’s looks too “soft” to be her actual butt, if that makes sense. I would say that photos and videos don’t do her justice. She looks really good and fit in person, and her energy is amazing.

Good eye! But the pants on the TGS had no chain. Perhaps the pants are TGS, and the chain a way to bring a little BAT into it, given that the segment blends the two with PDP/Erotica later? I'll update the list.

spiritboy Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 If she headlines Glastonbury, she might tour Europe next summer. Maybe she'll come to Istanbul or Athens. 1
