Britney Spears will not be taking up a residency in Las Vegas, it has been reported, despite persistent rumours recently.
The media has been buzzing in recent weeks over speculation that the former X Factor judge had signed a $100million (£63.7m) contract to regularly perform at Caesar’s Palace Colosseum.
But a representative for Caesars Entertainment has now confirmed that the company is not in talks with Spears, BuzzFeed reports.
The company’s public relations director, Emily Wofford, said that Caesars Palace is “packed every weekend” for months and that the firm is “engaged with a number of today’s top artists in discussions regarding headlining residencies at our venues in Las Vegas.”
But she added that the company is “always interested” in stars of a similar level to Britney.
Artists currently holding residencies at the Colosseum include Celine Dion, Elton John and Shania Twain.
There had been concern that the Vegas lifestyle might prove difficult to handle should Britney have taken a residency in the famous city of sin, with her father expressing his worries and saying that he’d keep her on a short leash should she move to the city.

Last month Britney confirmed that she would not be returning to the US version of The X Factor as a judge, with rumours that she left before she was pushed.
But the popstar will be feeling in good spirits after her track with Will.i.am denied Justin Timberlake a comeback number one in the UK.
