Britney Spears is committed to making "big changes" to her life after her conservatorship hearing.

The 39-year-old singer made an emotional plea at a court hearing last week, saying that she "just wants (her) life back" after being under conservatorship since her public meltdown in 2008 – with her father Jamie Spears in control of her personal and business affairs.
A source close to Britney's family said the star is desperate for her pleas to become a reality.
The insider told the new issue of PEOPLE magazine: "Britney was very nervous about speaking in front of the judge, but this is her life – and she wants big changes."
The court appearance marked the first time Britney has publicly addressed her conservatorship in 13 years and the 'Toxic' hitmaker explained how she feels "traumatised" by the controlling system she has been placed under.
Britney said: "I am not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I am traumatised. I just want my life back.
"I want to end this conservatorship without being evaluated. This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life, I've worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two to three-year break."
The pop superstar even called for her father Jamie Spears and others involved with her conservatorship to be "jailed".
Britney fumed: "They have me going to therapy three times a week and to a psychiatrist.
"I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel like I can live a full life. In the meantime, I want this therapist to come to my home, I’m not willing to go to Westlake ... They set me up by sending me to the most exposed places. I need your help.
"My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management … they should be in jail."
