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
Lamb of God and Trivium are set to return to Australia this October for a massive five date co headlining arena tour presented by Destroy All Lines. Joining them on every stop will be Scottish metalcore band Bleed From Within as special guests.
The tour kicks off at Perth HPC on Oct. 2 before heading to AEC Theatre in Adelaide on Oct. 4, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Oct. 6, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Oct. 9, and Riverstage in Brisbane on Oct. 11. Artist early bird presale tickets become available Friday, May 15 at 9 a.m. local time.

General public tickets will be available Thursday, May 21 at 9 a.m. local through destroyalllines.com.
For Lamb of God, this upcoming run will be their first proper Australian headline tour in almost ten years. The Richmond, Virginia metal giants, who have received five Grammy nominations throughout their career, most recently appeared in Australia during Knotfest Australia in 2024.
Since forming in the mid 1990s, the group have cemented themselves as one of the defining names in heavy metal. Tracks like “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” “Walk With Me in Hell,” and “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” continue to stand as fan favorites and staples within the genre. Earlier this year, the band released their newest studio album, Into Oblivion.
Trivium, who came together in Orlando, Florida in 1999, have built a reputation over the years as one of modern metal’s most dynamic and technically skilled live bands. Their music blends elements of thrash, progressive, melodic death, and groove metal, while their 2017 track “Betrayer” earned the band a Grammy nomination.
The group has also achieved several top 20 entries on the Billboard 200 along with multiple chart topping releases on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Trivium last visited Australia in 2023 for the first ever Knotfest Australia, where their Brisbane sideshow received strong praise from fans and critics alike. Their most recent project is the 2024 EP Struck Dead, which followed their 2021 album In the Court of the Dragon.
Bleed From Within will open the tour after recently celebrating two decades as a band. The Glasgow metalcore act released their seventh studio album Zenith in 2025 and have previously toured alongside major names including Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, and Megadeth throughout their career.
