Britney Spears has finally confirmed a major rumor. The 31-year-old singer appeared on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday morning to announce that after months of speculation, she will be heading to Las Vegas to kick off a residency at the city's Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Spears will complete a two-year residency at the Planet Hollywood with an expected 50 shows each year. "I'm going to definitely do the greatest hits but I'm going to have to put some of my new material in it to just keep it fresh," Spears said on "GMA."

The news of the show, which will be called "Piece of Me," comes after the release of the singer's latest single, "Work Bitch." The song, which is expected to be featured on Spears' upcoming eighth studio album, made its official debut on Sunday after it was leaked online.

Tickets for Spears' "Piece of Me" show are available for purchase today. Packages on Ticketmaster include the opportunity to meet Spears, VIP tables, and autographed memorabilia.

Early reports on Spears' Las Vegas residency estimate that the pop icon will be bringing in approximately $15 million per year for the shows.
