For years, the #FreeBritney movement has put a spotlight on the conservatorship pop princess Britney Spears has been living under for more than a decade. In a scathing testimony earlier this year, Spears made it clear that she wants out of the legal arrangement. This week, a judge may deliver a decision about the conservatorship that could change Britney Spears’ future and the way we think about disability rights. 

You’ll hear from:

Bianca Betancourt, culture editor for Harper's Bazaar

Brittany Spanos, senior writer for Rollingstone
