Her father Jamie earlier said it was “necessary”, but agreed it was time for her “to re-take control of her life”.

Addressing the crowd outside the court, Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart praised the singer’s “courage” throughout the court hearings.
He said he was proud that she had “shined a light on conservatorships from California to New York”, and that as a result of her testimony, new legislation had been passed “to try to ensure that conservatorships like this… do not happen again”.
Friends were also jubilant following the decision. Celebrity and businesswoman Paris Hilton wrote on Twitter the “moment is so long overdue”, adding: “Your best days are yet to come!”
On Monday, the Baby One More Time and Toxic singer wrote on Instagram that she hadn’t “prayed for something more in my life”.
“I know I’ve said some things on my Insta out of anger and I’m sorry but I’m only human… and I believe you’d feel the same way if you were me!”
In a court appearance in June, the star asked the judge to end the “abusive” arrangement and said she was “traumatised”.
