14 DAY TRIAL // While she’s preparing to kick off the European leg of her Femme Fatale tour, Britney Spears is also keeping busy by shooting the brand new video for her upcoming single, “Criminal.” The first photos from the set have ended up online.
The singer and her longtime beau Jason Trawick have recently landed in London, where they immediately set out to work, MTV News informs.
They’re shooting the video for “Criminal,” the first photos of which have emerged online – you can see one of them attached to this article as well.
As it clearly shows, the video will include a cameo from none other than Jason, who seems to play Britney’s partner in crime.
The rest of the photos, MTV reports, show Britney and Jason running out of a convenience store. Britney is carrying a gun in her hand, which seems to imply that they just robbed the place.
The same e-zine says there are other photos showing the twosome inside the store, with Britney seen tucking the weapon in the waistband of her short pants, while Jason is pulling her by the arm.
Speaking with the British media, the pop star revealed that she was actually the one who came up with the idea to shoot the video while in London, which makes “Criminal” her first video ever to be shot abroad.
“I’m shooting a video [and] I’ve never shot on location out of the country of America for a video,” she said, as cited by the aforementioned media outlet.
“So, it should be very interesting. It was partly my idea... to see if it could to happen, and they were like, ‘Yeah, it’s a great idea,’ so we did it,” Britney added.
In the same interview, she also talked about how thrilled she was to be preparing for the European leg of her latest tour, how she managed to balance motherhood and a very successful career, and her strenuous workouts to keep her in the best shape possible for the challenges of live performing.
Until the video comes out, below is “Criminal,” Britney’s upcoming single from the “Femme Fatale” album.
