American entertainer Britney Spears has embarked on ten headlining concert tours and one concert residency. According to Pollstar, Spears has grossed $485 million in revenue throughout her career.{{Cite web |last=Berg |first=Madeline |title=Britney Spears' Net Worth Revealed – And It's Shockingly Low Compared To Her Pop Peers |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2021/02/17/britney-spears-net-worth-revealed--and-its-shockingly-low-compared-to-her-pop-peers/ |date=February 17, 2021 |access-date=March 29, 2022 |magazine=Forbes |archive-date=March 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220329105528/https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2021/02/17/britney-spears-net-worth-revealed--and-its-shockingly-low-compared-to-her-pop-peers/ |url-status=live }} During 1998–1999, she embarked on a promotional tour in malls and food courts across North America, titled L'Oreal Hair Zone Mall Tour, and served as an opening act for NSYNC's in Concert tour in the United States before starting her 1999 headlining debut, the ...Baby One More Time Tour, which was also based in North America. Its success prompted an extension of dates in the US, entitled (You Drive Me) Crazy Tour, the following year. The tour was positively received by critics but generated some controversy due to her racy outfits. Jae-Ha Kim of the Chicago Sun-Times commented that "Spears has that 'it' factor that worked for pinup queens of the past."{{cite news|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4530485.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225043339/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4530485.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 25, 2012|title=Tonight at Allstate Arena Sold out Recommended|date=March 23, 2000|access-date=January 18, 2010|last=Kim|first=Jae-Ha|work=Chicago Sun-Times}}
From 2000 to 2001, she performed the Oops!... I Did It Again Tour in North America, Europe, and Brazil. It was critically appreciated for Spears's energy and performance, as well as the band, and went on to gross $40.5 million.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2000/07/06/the-britney-gap/01263d2d-180c-4558-8efa-b85a01cd2509/|title=The Britney Gap|date=July 6, 2000|access-date=April 11, 2022|last=Leiby|first=Richard|newspaper=The Washington Post|archive-date=August 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828182104/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2000/07/06/the-britney-gap/01263d2d-180c-4558-8efa-b85a01cd2509/|url-status=live}} She then followed this with the Dream Within a Dream Tour in North America and Japan, during 2001–2002. The performances were accompanied by many special effects, including a water screen that pumped two tons of water onto the stage during the encore performance of "...Baby One More Time". The tour grossed $53.3 million from 946,169 tickets sold.
With the Onyx Hotel Tour, in 2004, Spears felt inspired to create a show set in different areas of a hotel and mixed it with the concept of an onyx stone.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1484264/for-the-record-quick-news-on-travis-barker-beastie-boys-michelle-williams-jadakiss-scott-weiland-more/|title=For The Record: Quick News On Travis Barker, Beastie Boys, Michelle Williams, Jadakiss, Scott Weiland & More|date=January 24, 2004|access-date=April 11, 2022|website=MTV|archive-date=April 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412051444/http://www.mtv.com/news/1484264/for-the-record-quick-news-on-travis-barker-beastie-boys-michelle-williams-jadakiss-scott-weiland-more/|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3l0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA74|title=Step Master|date=August 1, 2004|access-date=January 16, 2010|last=Dougherty|first=Margot|work=Los Angeles}} The tour was canceled after Spears hurt her knee while shooting the music video for "Outrageous". Overall, the Onyx Hotel Tour grossed $34 million while visiting North America and Europe. Her next tour was the M+M's Tour in 2007. It consisted of six short, 15-minute shows in House of Blues clubs around the United States.
In 2008, after highly publicized personal struggles, Spears was involuntarily placed in a conservatorship by her father and embarked on the Circus Starring Britney Spears tour the following year. All the North American concerts were sold out, and it broke attendance records in many cities.{{cite web|url=http://www.ticket-center.com/venue-info/American-Airlines-Arena-~-FL/56.html|title=Information Details and Upcoming Events|access-date=December 19, 2009|publisher=ticket-center.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717053634/http://www.ticket-center.com/venue-info/American-Airlines-Arena-~-FL/56.html|archive-date=July 17, 2011}}{{cite magazine|url=http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2009/07/09/678172.aspx#bottom|title=Britney's #1 In North America While AC/DC Conquers The World|date=July 9, 2009|access-date=December 18, 2009|last=Smith|first=Jay|magazine=Pollstar|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100110085344/http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2009/07/09/678172.aspx#bottom|archive-date=January 10, 2010}} The show was also performed in Europe and Oceania. It went on to become the highest-grossing tour of her career and the fifth highest-grossing tour of 2009, earning $131.8 million with an attendance of 1.4 million. In 2011, Spears embarked on her Femme Fatale Tour, which visited North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, and ended up grossing $68.7 million.
On December 27, 2013, Spears began her first concert residency, Britney: Piece of Me, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Originally scheduled to run for two years, the show's success led to a two-year extension, and the final performance was set on December 31, 2017. It grossed $137.7 million from 916,184 tickets sold. During the summer of 2017, Spears brought the show to Asia as an international tour, marketed as Britney: Live in Concert. It was her first concert tour in six years. In 2018, she continued the show in the United States and Europe as the Piece of Me Tour, which grossed $54.3 million.{{Cite web|url=https://kiss108.iheart.com/content/2018-01-03-britney-spears-ends-piece-of-me-vegas-residency-with-box-office-record/|title=Britney Spears Ends 'Piece of Me' Vegas Residency with Box Office Record|access-date=January 13, 2018|archive-date=January 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180114021157/https://kiss108.iheart.com/content/2018-01-03-britney-spears-ends-piece-of-me-vegas-residency-with-box-office-record/|url-status=live}}
In January 2019, Spears announced an indefinite hiatus and the cancellation of her planned concert residency, Britney: Domination,{{cite web|last=Coscarelli|first=Joe|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/04/arts/music/britney-spears-cancels-vegas-residency.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220101/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/04/arts/music/britney-spears-cancels-vegas-residency.html |archive-date=January 1, 2022 |url-access=limited|title=Britney Spears Announces 'Indefinite Work Hiatus,' Cancels Las Vegas Residency|work=The New York Times|date=January 4, 2019|access-date=September 4, 2020}}{{cbignore}} and later entered in a legal battle with her father over her conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021. In September 2022, Spears stated that she will "probably never perform again" due to the trauma that the arrangement caused to her life.{{cite website|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/britney-spears-says-shell-never-perform-again-after-conservatorship-1234590364/|title=Britney Spears Says She'll 'Probably Never Perform Again': I'm 'Pretty Traumatized'|magazine=Rolling Stone|author=Jodi Guglielmi|date=September 11, 2022|access-date=September 28, 2024}}
