The customs officials stationed on site claimed that Spears appeared not to have taken her medicines. However, they found her nice and cooperative to talk to. The brief moment was captured on camera as the Toxic singer walked calmly near the tarmac while waving back at the officials. She appeared far more composed in the video than in some of the snaps taken during her flight.

Did Britney Spears light a cigarette on board?

Some on-flight sources had earlier told the portal that Spears tried to light a cigarette on board after drinking. However, she was immediately stopped, and she agreed. Still, some insiders claimed she was "difficult" during the flight. After Spears landed, she was given a stern warning by the authorities not to repeat the behavior, though no further action was taken against her.

Some earlier photos from inside the plane, which surfaced on the internet, gave a glimpse into a disheveled Spears. She had seemingly applied a lot of sunscreen on her arms and was seen engaging in an argument with a crew member on the flight. Later, the pop sensation stated that she was told by someone that she could smoke on the flight, so she "didn't know that wasn't allowed." Spears also alleged that the flight attendants "weren't fond of her from the beginning of the flight."

However, she continues to work on herself, and Spears' nearly $60 million net worth (CBS News) is testament to her success.
