Britney Spears partied with Sean 'Diddy' Combs the night before her heavily criticized performance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2007. Resurfaced photos show Spears smiling with Combs at the Jet nightclub in Las Vegas on September 7, 2007, just two days before the show. According to Page Six, she was later at another party with Combs, Paris Hilton, and 50 Cent that lasted into the early hours, just a day before the VMAs. The photos resurfaced after Cassie Ventura referenced Spears during her recent testimony in Combs' ongoing sex trafficking case. 'Sean was there, and he brought Dallas Austin and Britney Spears,' Ventura said, describing her 21st birthday celebration in Las Vegas. Spears performed 'Gimme More' at the VMAs on September 9, a performance widely criticized for poor lip-syncing and lackluster choreography. In her 2023 memoirs, Spears wrote, 'I hadn't slept the night before. I was dizzy,' and noted that 'nothing was going right.' At that time, Spears was under intense public scrutiny following her divorce and public breakdown, during which she also shaved her head earlier in the year.
