Following a four year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Britney Spears is currently on the second leg of her Piece of Me tour in Europe and OOPS, she forgot what city she was in.
While performing at Brighton Pride in England, fans caught Britney turning to a backup dancer and asking, "Where are we?" before shouting "What's up, Brighton Pride?" into the crowd. And honestly, we love her for it.

"Brighton Pride.... all 57,000 of you are perfectly beautiful. Heard it was a record breaking turnout!!! Thank you for a fabulous show...my fabulous fans. I love you all," the pop star wrote, followed by a string of rainbow emojis.
She was accused of 'exploiting' the LGBTQ+ community after she used her Brighton Pride performance to promote her latest fragrance.
But Britney Spears put all the drama behind her on Monday, photographed performing in Berlin, Germany.
Performing in front of 17,000 fans for her Piece Of Me Tour, the 36-year-old sported her signature barely-there ensembles.

Oops! Britney's performance comes after she found herself in a little bit of hot water with the LGBTQ community on Monday, after a tweet she shared backfired
Hot water: 'Loved seeing so many people out celebrating diversity and inclusion for #pride here in the UK!' she began the now deleted post before plugging her new perfume
'Loved seeing so many people out celebrating diversity and inclusion for #pride here in the UK!' she began the now deleted post.
'Having the freedom to be who you want to be is so important, which is why we made Prerogative, a fragrance for ALL!! Check it out exclusively at @BootsUK #MyPrerogative.'
The tweet left a bad taste in the mouth for many, who described her message as 'tone deaf' and not in-keeping with the meaning of Pride.
Celebrity Drag Act Jodie Harsh tweeted: 'Wow, this is bleak. I love a Britney moment, but I don't think the Stonewall Riots took place to help a popstar sell some p*** water at Boots.'
Britney Spears Forgets Where She Is While Performing at Brighton Pride: Watch
When you're a pop superstar as successful as Britney Spears, it’s easy to get confused about where you are at any given moment. The pop icon has toured all over the world for decades of her career, performing her hit songs to audiences of adoring, international fans.
Spears took to the stage at Brighton Pride in Preston Park this weekend to wow legions of her LGBTQ fans with the tour of her Las Vegas show Piece of Me. But as the singer prepped to take the show throughout the whole United Kingdom, she temporarily forgot where she was while onstage at the queer event.
In a video clip posted on Twitter, Spears can be seen turning to one of her dancers following a number, asking loudly, “Where are we?” When she was informed, she quickly turned around and shouted, “What’s up, Brighton Pride!”
Fans of the icon didn’t take offense to the moment, but instead used it as an example of why the “Gimme More” singer still remains a well-loved pop icon in this day and age. Read below for some of the best fan reactions to Britney’s brief onstage blunder.

Britney Spears is a creature of habit. Her red carpet style has stayed the same for almost a decade, and apparently her off-duty clothes have as well. The singer is currently traveling the world for her Piece of Me tour, and was photographed sightseeing with her sons, Sean and Jayden, on her most recent stop in Berlin while wearing athletic short-shorts, a green-and-white “Lucky Charm” shirt, and a pair of Adidas sneakers. If it weren’t for her sons, now 12 and 11 years old, it’d be hard to pin down just what year we were in. Just compare it to this video of her from Instagram in April or her getting some Starbucks in 2009.
The family, along with a serious-looking bodyguard, visited the Lustgarten park on Berlin’s Museum Island, and were photographed smiling and laughing while taking in the sights. Spears is scheduled to perform at the city’s Mercedes-Benz Arena on Monday evening.
On Saturday, she performed to a record-breaking crowd of 57,000 people at Preston Park for Brighton Pride in the U.K., her first time performing in the country since her Femme Fatale tour in 2011. She posted a photo of herself from the performance afterward on Instagram, writing, “I’ve always loved the UK and this night just made me love it even more.”
Spears has come a long way since 2007. She’s back to performing in arenas and looking as happy and bubbly as she did when she first came on the scene back in 1998. One thing that seems to stay the same, however, is her style. Spears’s graphic T-shirts and messy buns seem to be the only consistent and reliable things left in this world, and frankly, we’ll take it.
