She is due to take her Las Vegas residency show, Piece Of Me, on the road in June.
And Britney Spears has revealed that she’s looking forward to getting back on stage because it helps bring her out of her shell.
‘I’m very sensitive and sometimes I just want to run away because I’m a very shy person,’ she told AP on Wednesday.

‘I think energy is contagious and when I get onstage with the dancers, we all kind of vibe off each other. We feel the same energy and we connect.’
Watching the 36-year-old hitmaker perform, it may be difficult to imagine that she’s not outgoing.
But Britney said her stage persona takes over in front of an audience, adding: ‘I think it’s healthy to be able to put on the persona of being confident.
‘I think it’s an escape because, honestly, with how shy I really am, I don’t think it’s healthy,’ the Toxic singer said.

Performing is ‘a boost to my confidence. It’s like an alter-ego type thing. Something clicks and I turn into this different person. I think it’s kind of a gift to be able to do that.’
Meanwhile, Britney has recently shared Instagram videos of her grueling workouts with her trainer and beau Sam Asghari as she gets fit for the tour.
She and the 24-year-old go through intricate movements, including Sam lifting her several times and Britney doing a headstand – all looking effortless.

But in reality, the popstrel says he put her through it.
‘He’s a trainer so everything has to be so perfect. We probably did 40 (takes) and I hurt myself,’ she joked. ‘It looked great, he did a good job and he edited it really, really well.’
Britney said she prefers challenging workouts because she has ‘always been an active person’ and gets bored easily.

She plans to ramp up those exercises in the coming weeks as she prepares for her Piece Of Me tour, sponsored by Pepsi.
She’ll also be one of the superstars in the Pepsi Generations summer campaign where the company will reissue retro cans featuring acts from earlier campaigns, including Michael Jackson and Ray Charles.
Britney’s Piece Of Me world tour kicks off in Tokyo, Japan on June 3 and wraps in Austin, Texas on October 21.
