She was raised in Louisiana so there's plenty of cowboy ancestry for Britney Spears to draw from in her latest music video role.
The superstar singer, 29, is shooting the new promo in London taking on the guise of an armed robber.
Britney is currently in the capital ahead of her huge sell out shows across Europe and, of course, at the O2 Arena in late October.
Criminal activity: Britney Spears is spotted shooting her new music video Criminal in London today
Fighting fit: The superstar singer showed off her fantastic toned figure in a tiny pair of shorts for the armed heist
In one scene, shot at the town hall in Stoke Newington, north London, Britney throws on a balaclava to play a seductive robber.
Wearing a black leather biker jacket, a white vest with a countryside image across the front, and a tiny pair of black shorts, she certainly made for an raunchy take on the armed robber image.
She was pictured exiting the town hall at speed, gun in hand, presumably to make a quick escape and not because London's trusty boys in blue are hot on her heels.
It's a cover up: The singer slips on a balaclava just before she enters the town hall
Careful with the trigger: Britney slides her pistol into her jeans
Britney is seen in other scenes wearing tight jeans rather than a skirt as she brandishes a pistol at a shop.
In one shot she appears to be pointing the weapon at the shopkeeper, while other shots show her making haste from the store with her boyfriend, and accomplice in the video, Jason Trawick.
Jason looks just as suspicious as his girlfriend, dressing down in a grey beanie hat, checked shirt, greys jeans and worker boots - topped off with a pair of sunshades to complete his 'dodgy' look.

And they're off!: Britney and Jason make a dash for it after pulling off the heist...
The couple looked to be having a riot shooting the scenes both of them beaming with delight as they exited the shop, Jason amusingly carrying a shopping basket as he followed his girlfriend out of the store.
Britney announced she would be shooting her video in London last week, just before she landed on Thursday.
She wrote last week: 'So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks. Can't wait! I LOVE London, it's like my second home.

BreatheHeavy.com report that the video will feature Britney playing the long-suffering girlfriend of a dangerous bad boy.
Their information has that the film will start with the couple attending a lavish event before the trouble-causing lover starts a fight.

A character referred to as Jason - just like the singer's boyfriend - comes along and breaks up the fight, and starts fighting the dastardly lothario.
Jason sweeps Britney off her feet, then the two embark on what seems to be a Bonnie and Clyde-style crime spree.
It will reunite Britney with her I Wanna Go director, Chris Marrs Piliero.
