'Legendary' Britney Spears at #MTV Video Music Awards 2001 #VMAs

In which the Los Angeles Times goes all BuzzFeed, "MTV Video Music Awards: 30 moments that make it a can't-miss event."

Interestingly, I saw the piece in the hard-copy edition of the newspaper, but it's ridiculously obsolete in conveying a story like this. See all the videos at the link.

12. Britney Spears and her snake (2001). Brit’s celebrated her last few months as a teenager in a big way with her sexiest song yet, “I’m a Slave for U.” From bursting out of a cage with a tiger to slinking around with a giant yellow python. There’s something about a pop princess shaking it with a giant snake that screams legendary.
