Britney Spears talks life after conservatorship in new Instagram video
Days after her 13-year conservatorship ended, Britney Spears offered some thoughts on where she goes from here
After more than a decade, Britney Spears is free, and she’s sharing her next steps with fans on social media. Days after a judge terminated the 13-year conservatorship that’s ruled her life, Spears posted a video on Twitter and Instagram to discuss her newfound independence.
Last week, Judge Brenda Perry ended Spears’ conservatorship, under which for nearly 14 years, her father, Jamie Spears, ruled her personal life and finances. The news came to the delight of Britney Spears’ fans in the #FreeBritney movement, a grassroots campaign to galvanize the public and pressure the courts to end the arrangement.
Spears’ two-minute video offers one of the most lucid and direct statements from the pop singer in quite some time—especially compared to some of her more cryptic social media posts.
In the caption for the post, Spears also teased an interview with Oprah. “I might as well do a hint of my thoughts here before I go and set things square on @Oprah,” she wrote. While it’s unclear whether that interview is happening, one assumes all she’ll have to do is pick up the phone.
