Britney Spears has admitted she is battling the nerves ahead of her appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The pop princess will give the first performance of her single Make Me, from her new album Glory, at the glitzy event in New York tonight.

It will be the first time Brit has been on the VMA stage in around a decade.

Speaking on radio show Cubby and Carolina In The Morning in the US, she said: “It’s just something in the air at the VMAs, it’s like electric. I can’t really explain it.

“Every time I’ve performed there it’s always been one of these nerve-wracking experiences.”

“I still get very nervous,” she added.

Good luck Britney!
