Britney Spears De-Stresses Before VMA’s

When there’s this much riding on one night, anyone would be stressed out. But Britney Spears knows how to blow off some steam before her huge MTV Video Music Awards comeback this Sunday.

The “Gimme More” singer was spotted tearing up the dance floor at LA club Opera last night. She danced to Rihanna’s “Umbrella” among other dance tracks while smoking cigarettes and having a few drinks.

According to a witness, “Britney was in a great mood all night, smiling, laughing, upbeat, she drank beer, vodka cranberry and vodka tonic.” Maybe the high spirits are because she’s confident that she’ll be back on top of the charts as of tomorrow night, when she performs “Gimme More” with the help of illusionist Criss Angel.

There’s no doubt she has a lot to prove, so a little stress relief via a night out isn’t that shocking… especially from Britney Spears.
