NEW ORLEANS — Britney Spears fans lined up outside the New Orleans Arena hours before the start of the pop star’s first concert tour in five years.
They bought T-shirts at red-and-white-striped tents set up outside the arena where Spears’ “Circus” tour was getting underway Tuesday night.
“I love her,” said 18-year-old Haley McInnis of Gonzales, La. McInnis was among dozens of Louisiana fans out to support their home-state superstar, who in the past five years has been married and divorced, had two kids, gone to rehab, gone through a custody battle, found herself briefly committed and had control of her personal and financial affairs turned over to her father indefinitely.
Her “Circus” CD, released in December, has sold more than 1.3 million copies, and she has had two hits off the CD, “Womanizer” and “Circus.” The Associated Press
