Spears, 39, made the comments on Twitter
following a court ruling last week that suspended her father as
the controller of her business affairs and set a November date
to consider whether to terminate the 13-year-long legal
arrangement entirely.
"I have no words because of you guys and your constant
resilience in freeing me from my conservatorship. My life is now
in that direction !!!!! I cried last night for two hours cause
my fans are the best and I know it," the pop singer tweeted in a
message tagged for the #FreeBritney movement.
"I feel your hearts and you feel mine... that much I know is
true," she added.
Spears, who has not performed since late 2018, was on vacation
in French Polynesia when Los Angeles judge Brenda Penny last
week removed her father Jamie Spears

as conservator of her $60 million estate in a major victory for
the "Toxic" singer.
The conservatorship was set up in 2008 after Spears suffered a
mental breakdown and it controls a vast array of her financial
and personal affairs.
The #FreeBritney movement, which was started on social media
around 2019 by a small group of fans, has held noisy
demonstrations outside court hearings in the case and was
highlighted in the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary in
February.
Spears stepped up her efforts in June to break free of the
conservatorship, telling the judge in her first public comments
that it was humiliating and abusive, and that she wanted her
life back.
The termination of the conservatorship appears to have the
support of all sides and Penny has set a Nov. 12 hearing to
discuss it.
