‘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!!!!’ the …Baby One More Time singer captioned the post, which came less than a month after her father Jamie Spears was relieved of his conservatorship duties in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The Gimme More performer added, ‘Lighting my candles sure is a joy folks!!!’ with emojis of three candles.

Spears in April of 2020 said her home gym at her Thousand Oaks, California mansion had burned down six months earlier (around early-November 2019) in the wake of an accident involving two candles.

‘It was an accident… but yes… I burnt it down,’ Spears said in the social media post. ‘I walked past the door to the gym and flames… BOOM!!!!’

She said that ‘by the Grace of God the alarm went off’ and no one was injured in the blaze.

‘I haven’t been in here for like six months because I burnt my gym down. Unfortunately,’ she said. ‘I had two candles, and, yeah, one thing lead to another, and I burnt it down.’

On Monday, the Oops!… I Did It Again vocalist also said she was feeling focused and upbeat as she’s been on ‘the right medication’ for a month.

‘And you might be surprised cause my prayers are pretty damn powerful ESPECIALLY when you’re on the right medication just a month ago!!!!’ she said. ‘Damn I can actually pray …. it feels so good to just BE HERE !!!! I’M HERE … thanks to no doctor or conservatorship people … good God my friends … it’s good to BE HERE and be PRESENT!!!!’

Spears added: ‘Since I can actually PRAY now hopefully in just 3 months there will be a shift for me … I mean who knows … I’m not gonna thank anyone I’m gonna pull a @snoopdogg and say I thank ME for believing in ME!!!!!’

The Lucky singer, who is engaged to actor Sam Asghari, 27, had an active day on the social media platform, also posting never-seen-before pics she snapped in 2020; a TikTok style bit about work habits amid the pandemic; and a clip in which she danced in her home.

The Grammy-winner’s push toward ending the conservatorship came amid the #FreeBritney movement, as her fans demonstrated nationwide in condemnation of the conservatorship, which was implemented in 2008 amid a pileup of personal problems for the pop star.

In June, Britney spoke in a hearing about her hopes to end the arrangement, as she declared, ‘I just want my life back.

‘It’s been 13 years. And it’s enough. It’s been a long time since I’ve owned my money. And it’s my wish and my dream for all of this to end without being tested.’
