Britney Spears has said she didn’t get to buy anything herself for 15 years amid her conservatorship – and when she finally did it left her “shaking”.
The pop princess was under a guardianship – which saw her finances and personal life largely controlled by her dad and others – for 13 years until it was finally lifted last year.
Since it has ended she’s opened up to fans about getting to do things like drive and drink wine, and she’s revealed that she’s also able to shop for herself now.

Writing on Instagram, Britney said: “A year ago was my first time buying something with my own two hands… my legs and hands were shaking for 15 minutes after I bought something… I’m not sure why???
“Honestly I don’t know!!!”
She said: “The significance in buying something for the first time in 15 years… security held my credit card for 15 years… when it was time to purchase I always had to step aside and be ghosted as they would type the code in and write my name… it was always a credit card!!!
“I hadn’t had cash in years… I forgot what it was like to buy something.
“I mean you would THINK I was the hardest working one in my family. Jesus f****** Christ.”

Mum-of-two Britney, 40, said she got her first ATM card in October 2021 and that it was a “pretty big deal” for her.
She added: “Hopefully just a few can understand the belittling mortality in waiting in line with a man always ahead of you ghosting you and purchasing things on your behalf… the significance in using your own two hands and do the interchange of whatever the purchase may be SPEAKS VOLUMES as opposed to another person ripping me of that right for nearly 15 years!!!!”
The Gimme More singer’s conservatorship was set up in 2008.
