Britney Spears Confirms 'Massive' Las Vegas Residency

Britney Spears is officially heading to Vegas.

In the latest issue of Shape, which features Spears on the cover, the singer and former X FACTOR judge confirmed that come fall, she'll be packing up and headlining a residency in Las Vegas.

In the meantime, she's doing all that she can to get prepped.

"I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio-hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez," Spears said. "The [Vegas] performances won't be simple-they'll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."

For the original announcement, head on over to Shape.

The confirmation comes months after Spears issued a statement that she was departing Fox's X FACTOR, letting it slip that she was in negotiations for her own Vegas headliner. Since then, rumors have naturally emerged, placing Spears and her much-anticipated show at various locales on The Strip. As of now, no official announcement as to where she'll be performing has been made, but many speculate Spears might sit down for a two-year run at Caesars Palace.

Spears' 1999 Jive Records debut, ... Baby One More Time, has sold over 27 million albums worldwide and featured five hit singles, including the title track, which is one of the best-selling singles of all time, making ... Baby the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist and the best selling debut of any female artist in history. She has rightfully earned her title of Princess of Pop.

She went onto more success with her second album, Oops!... I Did It Again in 2000, which cemented her place as the best selling teenage artist of all time. With a total of seven albums, including 2011's Femme Fatale, which yielded three No. 1 singles, Spears has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, earned five No. 1 album debuts, 2.9 million in U.S. single sales, and 24 Top 40 hits. Her awards' shelf is quite heavy as well with one Grammy Award, nine Billboard Music Awards (including Billboard's Best-Selling Female Artist of the Decade for 1998-2008), six MTV Video Music Awards (including a well-deserved 2011 MTV Video Vanguard Award), and countless others. She even received a star on the Walk of Fame at age 21.
