Britney Spears' conservatorship could be ended at today's hearing

Attorneys for Britney Spears will return to court Friday when a Los Angeles judge will consider the pop star's request to terminate the conservatorship that has controlled her career and finances for nearly 14 years. The hearing will be the first since her father, Jamie Spears, was removed as a co-conservator.

"This week is gonna be very interesting for me," Britney wrote on Instagram earlier this week. "I haven't prayed for something more in my life. I know I've said some things on my (Instagram) out of anger and I'm only human and I believe you'd feel the same way if you were me."

"My dad may have started the conservatorship but what people don't know is that it is my mom who gave him the idea," she added in a now-deleted caption. "I will never get those years back."
