Britney Spears – The Making of ‘Oops!… I Did It Again’ | Vevo Footnotes
Today, Vevo and Britney Spears released a new episode of Footnotes commemorating the 25th anniversary of her legendary hit, “Oops!…I Did It Again” offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the unforgettable music video that defined a pop era and introduced one of the most iconic looks in music video history.
Directed by Nigel Dick and choreographed by Tina Landon, the video originally premiered on MTV’s Making the Video on April 10, 2000 and quickly became a pop culture moment—from the Mars set and Titanic-inspired interlude to the iconic red latex catsuit, which was Britney’s idea.
The Footnotes episode is packed with fun details: Max Martin not only produced the song but voiced the skit in the video, the astronaut finds the original single’s cover art in the wreckage and Britney’s look swapping her original red boots for black sneakers mid-shoot because the boots were too uncomfortable. Britney pushed through a couple of injuries during filming, including stitches and a twisted ankle, to deliver one of her most memorable performances.
“Oops…I Did It Again!” was the lead single for Britney’s second studio album, which shattered the record for most first-week sales by a female artist, holding that title until Adele’s 25 in 2015. In a 2020 Instagram post, Britney reflected on the moment: “The anticipation and the butterflies I felt before it came out were crazy… All of my expectations were exceeded!”

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
