The headline-grabbing pop diva arrived in
Sydney early on Wednesday for her first Australian concert tour."Longest flight ever but we had a great time ... So excited to be here," Spears said on Twitter after arriving.

Spears touched down in Perth about 9am (WST), with her plane taxiing into a private hangar.She was ushered into a waiting van, disappointing autograph hunters.
Police, paparazzi and fans had converged on the airport for her arrival.Her worldwide Circus tour - with a cast of 44 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats - opened in New Orleans in March.
She will perform in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane before finishing in Adelaide on November 29.
