Britney Spears Asserts New Freedom in Video Post: “Grateful to have the keys to my car…I’m not here to be a victim”

Britney Spears sounds pretty reasonable in this video post on Twitter. She’s celebrating her freedom in a very sound statement. She says she’s “grateful to the have to the keys to my car.” She adds: “I’m not here to be a victim.”

I didn’t write about the #FreeBritney movement because if you covered Britney in the days before her conservatorship, reporters knew she was wild and needed help desperately. The conservatorship was a relief, frankly.

But things have changed. This Britney seems like she’s got it together. Let’s hope so, for her sake.
