Britney Spears is celebrating the end of her conservatorship. A Los Angeles judge terminated the arrangement on Friday, giving the pop star control over her health, estate and finance for the first time in more than 13 years.
"What an amazing weekend... I felt like I was on cloud 9 the whole time!!!" Spears wrote on Instagram on Monday. "I actually got my first glass of champagne at the most beautiful restaurant I've ever seen last night!!!! I'm celebrating my freedom and my B-day for the next two months !!!!!!!!!!! I mean after 13 years ... I think I've waited long ENOUGH!!!!"
Spears, who turns 40 in December, thanked her attorney, Matthew Rosengart, for his work on her case. She hired Rosengart in July after the judge gave her the right to hire her own counsel.
