Britney performed " Stronger " for the first time during her Oops ! ... I Did It Again World Tour in Columbia , U.S.A at June 20th 2000 . The show began with the video introduction " The Britney Spears Experience " , in which three images of Spears welcomed spectators to the show . Then , a giant metal orb was lowered onstage and lifted again to reveal Spears standing behind it . Wearing a glittery jeans and an orange halter top , she opened the show with a dance-oriented performance of the song . " Stronger " was last performed on 2002 's Dream Within a Dream Tour . After a dance-oriented performance of " Boys " , Spears performed the song , in which she wore a paint-covered robe and in some shows a bowler hat . Spears also performed the song on several television appearances , including on the American Music Awards of 2001 , and on a MTV special titled " Total Britney Live " . A Fox special titled " Britney In Hawaii " , aired on June 8 , 2000 , included an exclusive performance of the song . A performance of " Stronger " live from Germany was broadcast on Radio Music Awards of 2000 , since Spears was on tour by the time of the awards . " Stronger " was not included on the set lists of any of Spears ' tours until it was included in her Las Vegas residency show Britney : Piece of Me . " Stronger " was covered by Kevin McHale on TV series '' Glee '' , on an episode titled " Britney/Brittany " , that was dedicated to the singer . In the episode , McHale 's character Artie has a hallucination of himself singing " Stronger " during a dental visit . The cover received positive reviews from contemporary music critics . Raymund Flandez of '' The Wall Street Journal '' enjoyed the cover version , appreciating the twist of having males sing a feminist empowerment song , while Tim Stack of '' Entertainment Weekly '' deemed " Stronger " his favorite performance of the episode , as well as the best incorporation of Spears ' music , as the song served Artie 's storyline
