Britney Spears headlined Brighton Pride yesterday (4 August) and had 57,000 fans in awe with her Piece of Me show.
The princess of pop landed in London before heading to Brighton, where she took the main stage following the likes of Pixie Lotte and Louise.
Her show, voted the #1 Las Vegas residency earlier this year, was everything a Britney fan could hope for – and more.
While the fans gathered in Preston Park definitely knew where they were, however, the Toxic singer appeared to have forgotten her location.
She hilariously turned to her back dancers, covering the microphone with her hand to shout ‘Where are we?!’, before addressing the crowd with a warm ‘What’s up Brighton Pride’.
Britney shouted ‘Where are we?!’
The video is circulating on social media channels and is just so pure you need to watch it for yourself.

Despite her attempts at covering the mic, fans couldn’t help but notice.
Britney just finished her 2nd song and tried to move her mic as she shouted to her backing dancers “Where are we? Where are we?” 👀 #brightonpride

‘Britney just finished her 2nd song and tried to move her mic as she shouted to her backing dancers “Where are we? Where are we?”,’ one user tweeted with a perplexed emoji.
In the aftermath of the amusing incident, Spears’s very loyal fandom was ready to take her side.

‘Queen on tour different city every day,’ Britney Spears Forever wrote.
‘Except she’s been in vegas [sic] for years,’ another sassily pointed out.
Britney herself made it up to her crowd by posting a heartfelt tweet, thanking those who showed up. And this time around, she started off with ‘Brighton Pride’ just to be on the safe side.

Oops I did it again
Britney also forgot Andy Cohen’s name when he joined her on stage during the NYC stop of her Piece of Me tour.
Despite Brighton Pride’s awkward incident, Britney delivered an incredible performance in Preston Park.
