On Sunday night, Britney Spears opened up the Billboard Music Awards at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and transported us all back about a decade.

The "...Baby One More Time" singer was awarded the prestigious Millennium Award for "exceptional achievements and influence in the music industry" at tonight's ceremony. Past recipients of the award include legends like Whitney Houston and Beyoncé.

Taking the stage in a fierce red number, Britney started off with "Work Bitch" before transitioning into an incredible medley that included "Womanizer," "Toxic" and "I Love Rock 'N' Roll." The 34-year-old proved she's still got it as she brought the audience to their feet with her electrifying performance.

In the midst of all that nostalgia, Twitter naturally lost its mind.

It left most people in straight-up awe.

Although, it's Twitter, so, of course, shade was thrown, too.

Sorry, @justinbieber, you are not Britney. You have not earned the right to lipsync an entire award show performance pic.twitter.com/J3a88CL3SH — Dina Sartore-Bodo (@DeeBodes22) May 23, 2016

But, most people just want to relive it over and over and over again.
