‘Can I get an Amen?’: Britney Spears thanks fans after her conservatorship ends

History was made today, and it was the best day ever, according to Britney Spears and her fiancé, Sam Asghari, who celebrated the termination of the pop star’s 13-year conservatorship.

“Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy !!! I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day !!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen ???? #FreedBritney,� the singer tweeted Friday mere moments after a Los Angeles judge terminated the 39-year-old’s protracted legal arrangement — effective immediately.

Spears’ tweet also included a video clip showing her jubilant fans outside the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles erupting in cheers over the landmark decision that reinstated the entertainer’s legal rights to her personal and financial matters.

Asghari also swiftly posted his thoughts on Instagram.

“History was made today. Britney is Free! ��� Asghari wrote, sharing an image displaying the word “FREEDOM.�

The night before, Asghari and Spears anticipated a favorable ruling and wore his-and-hers T-shirts emblazoned with #FreeBritney. The hashtag has become a rallying cry among the singer’s avid fans and conservatorship reform advocates and recently shaped public opinion of Spears’ affairs, along with a number of high-profile documentaries about the case and the cause.

The couple’s shirts were underscored with the tagline “It’s a Human Rights Issue,� and Asghari, who proposed to Spears in September, embellished his post with Spears’ 2013 hit “Work Bitch.�
