Britney Spears is getting everyone pumped for this year's MTV Video Music Awards with a promo that is literally a blast from her past!

Brit, who is nominated for Best Pop Video and Best Choreography for "Till the World Ends," takes a trip down memory lane in the 30-second promo. The clip features not only her music, but also tunes from Michael Jackson, Janet and Madonna.

The promo's director, Jahai Brightly, said they were going for a "muse factory" feeling. He adds:

    "It's where all your favorite artists that are going to be at the Video Music Awards this year meet and explore their influences and inspirations."


Mission accomplished! Find out when the awards will air ... after the jump.
