Britney Spears<\/strong> <\/strong>is taking a look back at her legendary 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the pop star took to Instagram to tease her upcoming memoir, The Woman In Me, <\/em>and reflected on her 2001 VMAs performance, in which she famously sang and danced to her hit “I’m a Slave For You,” and at one point held a giant yellow, albino python over her shoulders.<\/p>\n

It not only became one of Britney’s most well-known performances but also one of the biggest VMA moments of all time. However, looking back, the 41-year-old singer said she was quite “scared” when she was given the seven-foot-long and 20-lb reptile on stage.<\/p>\n
