Jamie Lynn Spears follows in sister Britney's footsteps as she performs in Las Vegas... but it's a little more low-key
Britney Spears’ younger sister Jamie Lynn followed in her footsteps by performing in Las Vegas on Monday evening.
The 23-year-old, who is now a country music recording artist, took to the stage at Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
But while Britney’s residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is an extravaganza of lights, costume and dance, Jamie was much more low-key while performing hits from her debut album The Journey.

Jamie, who is mother-of-one, looked casual yet cool for the occasion wearing a black minidress that revealed her slim legs.
She teamed it with a fitted jacket, while she added a slightly more relaxed vibe with a pair of chunky brown boots.
During the day the singer took a ride on The High Roller, the world's tallest observation wheel and clearly not fazed by it she posed for pictures.

As night fell she hit the stage, delighting fans with her range of songs, including How Could I Want More.
Taking to Twitter ahead of the event, she wrote: ‘Playing a listener appreciation concert for @thecoyote1027 tonight in Vegas at @TIGilleys!!’
It’s been a busy summer for Jamie Lynn who has been attending various festival and playing at a number of shows.

During one of them the star sang Happy Birthday to a little girl in the audience, which she opened up about in an interview with Doug Elfman for the Review Journal.
‘It was just one of those cool moments I’ll never forget, and she’ll never forget,’ she said. ‘The cool thing about doing this stuff in the summer and festivals is a lot of them are family oriented. And I have my little girl, and I have my husband.
‘The thing that’s been really neat for me to experience is you can bring your family, too.’
Family is something that is very dear to the Spears sister and Jamie is particularly close to her father.
But first, let me take a selfie: Jamie couldn't resist taking a picture of herself from the top
Speaking about a recent occasion when she sat on trailer to watch a country gig with him, she said:
‘Me and my Daddy, being from Louisiana, we knew there was a way to get on top of the camper. So we went and found this ladder. Eric Church was playin’. And I got to sit up there with my Daddy and the band.
‘It was perfect. It was one of those things you gotta ’preciate because you’re really blessed to do that, and you never know, you might not ever be able to do that again.’

Its not a crochet dress, its a laser cut dress. I am a bloke, hardly fashionable in 30 odd years but I know more than the idiots you find to try and write stories.
