FANS of Twitter hijacked a shopping expedition by pop star Britney Spears in Melbourne yesterday.

Spears, who performed her final Melbourne concert at Rod Laver Arena last night, went on a shopping spree at Myer in Bourke St.

The entertainer spent $4618.45 in the spree that lasted just over 45 minutes.

Spears bought pieces from the Jack and Milly childrens wear range for her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston.

For herself she selected a coat from the Penny Black label, a cardigan from the Armani Jeans range, several items of clothing from the Cacharel and DKNY ranges, and a party frock by popular Australian designer Camilla and Marc.

Spears private shopping expedition became a huge spectator event with people posting word of her planned shopping trip on their Twitter pages.

Word quickly spread and about 300 fans waited at Myers Little Bourke St entrance to get a glimpse of the star.

In preparation for her visit, Myer curtained off an area on level one of its store and organized a selection of items for her to check out in private.

Two of Spears burly security guards lingered around Myers cosmetic department, near where her signature fragrance was on display, from midday.

The performer, dressed in black, carrying a large red handbag, and wearing large dark sunglasses with her hair tied in a messy bun, arrived at Myer around 4.30pm and moved through the store surrounded by an entourage of about eight people.

She gave Myer the thumbs up as she left, saying she had bought lots of “good stuff.
