Britney Spears is free of the conservatorship that has ruled her life, career and finances for nearly 14 years. A Los Angeles judge terminated the court-ordered arrangement Friday at the request of the pop star and her legal team, ending her years-long battle.
The ruling comes after Spears delivered a blistering statement about the conservatorship in court this June, calling it “abusive” and saying it left her feeling “bullied” and “alone.”
The hearing was the first since her father, Jamie Spears, was suspended from his role as a co-conservator. Spears did not respond to CBS News’ request for comment.
Spears celebrated the ruling on Instagram with the hashtag #FreedBritney, calling it the “best day ever.”
“I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day,” the pop star wrote.
