18 Celebrities React To The End Of Britney Spears’ Conservatorship
Freedom for Britney Spears has finally arrived — and it's about damn time!
Yesterday, the court terminated Britney's conservatorship — which has ceded personal and financial control of the superstar's life to her father and his team for 13 years — effective immediately.
While the 39-year-old had always been fighting against the conservatorship behind closed doors, it was her court appearance in the summer — where she described the abuse she faced — that bolstered an already-simmering #FreeBritney fan movement.
In celebration of the good news, Britney took to Instagram to show love for her fans. "I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day!!!! Best day ever...praise the Lord. Can I get an Amen? 🙏🏼☀️🙌🏼#FreedBritney," she wrote.
Fans were joined by celebs who were also overjoyed by the news (well, to clarify, I think we can say the celebs are also fans, because, I mean, it's Britney). Paris Hilton commented on the video above with a simple "Yasssss 🥳🥳🥳🥳😍."
Lady Gaga wrote on Twitter, "I have loved @britneyspears her whole career. I looked up to her, admired her strength—she empowered so many people and still does. I couldn’t be more happy for you today. You never deserved what happened, Thank God 4 today, you’re a superstar and a super-human being."

Meanwhile, Missy Elliott wrote that she hopes "blessings continue to flow for you! And nothing but Happiness Love & Peace of mind from here on out," accompanied by prayer hand emojis and a purple heart.
