Wrapping up a night of performing, Spears slipped off for a quick dip just after midnight, but quickly rejoined her pals at the hotel's cabana to continue the fun.

With her entourage of back up dancers and security guards in tow, Spears then took the party up a gear at 2am and headed out for a night on the tiles at Miami's Set nightclub.

The star was celebrating the end of her Florida tour which was - of course - not drama free.

During a 14-minute set at the House of Blues in Orlando Spears encountered an embarrassing glitch: while lip-synching one of her hits, the backing track began to skip.

Spears made an attempt to hide the blunder by turning her head away from the crowd.

Later she showered the crowd with affection, saying: "I love you, Orlando. Thank you so much for being here. You're awesome. I love you!"

The next night, while perfoming to a sell-out crowd on stage at Miami's Mansion her beaded bra came apart during her dance routine.

She was wearing a second bra underneath, but Spears was still forced to run off stage for a quick costume change.

Despite the regular hiccups, her loyal fans said she didn't disappoint.

Well-known DJ Tracy Young, who performed at Madonna's wedding to Guy Ritchie, attended the show and told American magazine People: "Whether she lip-synchs or not, there was a line around the block. I'm looking forward to her comeback, I think she's going to be fierce."
