Baby One More Time 1999 MTV 

How can we forget 1999's MTV performance where Britney showcased her promising dancing abilities in front of the entire world? "Baby One More Time" established Spears as pop princess.

The singer proved to have steady nerves like no one else in the music industry.

The singer has been labeled various times as the "lip sync queen," but at the AMAs she proved all her critics wrong. Spears sang live with raw emotions, a piano and a few choristers accompanying her. In the background on a giant screen, the audience could also see clips of Spears' music video for the single.

Finally, a most recent live performance is 2016's Billboard Music Awards, where the singer performed a medley of all her hits.
