Britney Spears at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, 2016 in New York City.
C Flanigan/FilmMagicBritney Spears was in the mood to celebrate the long-sought end of her conservatorship on Monday (Nov. 29). The singer, whose 13-year court-ordered arrangement ended earlier this month after her father Jamie Spears was removed as the controller of her estate, excitedly detailed her newfound freedom in a glowing Instagram post in which she revealed that she feels like she’s finally on the right mix of medications.
“That beautiful … nice … and warm f—ing fuzzy feeling when you’ve been waiting patiently for 13 years to be able to live your life however you choose and it’s finally here !!!!,” Spears, 39, wrote alongside a photo of a glowing hearth decorated for the holidays. “Lighting my candles sure is a joy folks!!! And you might be surprised cause my prayers are pretty damn powerful ESPECIALLY when you’re on the right medication just a month ago !!!!”
Though the pop star is finally free of the arrangement that found her father and a co-conservator handling all her personal and financial issues, Spears and her attorney Mathew Rosengart have said they plan to investigate abuse and financial mismanagement she alleges occurred during the conservatorship and hold her father and others accountable for any wrongdoing they discover.
“Damn I can actually pray…. it feels so good to just BE HERE !!!! I’M HERE … thanks to no doctor or conservatorship people,” she continued in Monday’s post. “Good God my friends … it’s good to BE HERE and be PRESENT !!!! Since I can actually PRAY now hopefully in just 3 months there will be a shift for me … I mean who knows …”
And though Spears did not elaborate on what “shift” she was referring to, she did make a sly joke about the very important person who deserves the kudos for her newfound freedom. “I’m not gonna thank anyone I’m gonna pull a @snoopdogg and say I thank ME for believing in ME
Dua Lipa has described Britney Spears as "an icon".
The Houdini singer also pointed out her personal favorite track from the pop legend.
Dua, 30, said that Britney’s 2003 single Toxic is the song she loves most, sharing that she often plays it every night to relax while spending time on holiday with her extended family.
"You're very silly and giggly and fun and I need to hear 'Toxic' at the end of every single night when I'm feeling like that," she told Vogue Magazine. "It's one of my favourite songs."
The Levitating artist took it even further, calling Toxic "one of the greatest" and saying it has a timeless quality.
"I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever made," Dua gushed. "It makes me feel nostalgic, but also at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much."
She also mentioned that the track’s music video, which shows Britney, 44, as a space-themed flight attendant, played a major role in its appeal.
"The bit that stays in my mind that I remember so well is Britney in a stewardess outfit, and I don't think anyone has been able to make a stewardess outfit look so good," Dua said, before confessing her belief that Britney was "an icon".
"I love Britney so much," she said. "I love everything about her, all her songs. She's such an icon."
