Spears was under an extremely restrictive conservatorship from 2008 to 2021.

More attention was brought to the conservatorship when the #FreeBritney movement gained momentum in 2019, spawning documentaries and very public court proceedings.

According to The Blast, Spears referred to conservatorship as "cruelty" in one court hearing, adding, "My dad needs to be removed today, so I can have the confidence to get back into the real world."

Spears detailed being forced to perform during her conservatorship in her book, "The Woman in Me," adding that she eventually lost her passion for music.

In a recent post, Spears vowed to "never perform in the US again because of extremely sensitive reasons."
