Superstar Britney Spears suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during her comeback show in Tampa, Florida on Sunday when her leotard ripped, accidentally exposing her naked crotch to the audience.

The singer had just finished performing "I'm A Slave 4 U" and was being lowered beneath the stage when she revealed her costume blunder.

Failing to realize her microphone was still on, she said, "My pussy was hanging out!" - causing the arena to erupt in laughter.
