Both Christina and Lady Gaga had publicly spoken out about Spears’ conservatorship on social media.
In June the Genie In a Bottle singer had tweeted a photo of them from their Mickey Mouse club days and called her treatment under the conservatorship ‘unacceptable.’
‘These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through. It is unacceptable that any woman, or human, wanting to be in control of their own destiny might to be allowed to life life as they wish.’
After Spears’ conservatorship was terminated by Judge Brenda Penny on Friday November 12, Gaga had shared a photo of them from the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
‘I have loved @britneyspears her whole career. I looked up to her, admired her strength — she empower so many people and still does. I couldn’t be more happy for you today. You never deserved what happened, Thank God 4 today. you’re a superstar and a super-human being I LOVE YOU.’

Spears and Aguilera’s relationship spans back to their Mouseketeer days in the early nineties where she called her ‘so brave’ and told her to ‘live your best life’ after being freed of father’s Jamie Spears and her conservatorship.
Both Christina and Britney’s stars began to rise around the same time, with Spears becoming an overnight sensation after 1998’s …Baby One More Time, and Christina rocketing to fame after Genie In A Bottle in 1999.
As the ladies became the two major female names in pop music, they were often pitted against each other despite originally starting off as friends.
They were somewhat foils of each other however as Britney was known as music’s ‘good girl’ while Christina had developed a naughtier image.
Memorable: While Britney was helmed as a ‘good girl’ to Christina’s ‘bad girl’ they came together for one of the most memorable performances in television history as they performed with Madonna on the 2003 MTV VMAs
The two however came together for one of the most memorable performances in television history as they performed with Madonna on the 2003 MTV VMAs.
Though each locked lips with Madonna, Aguilera’s kiss was overshadowed by Britney’s as cameras cut to ex Justin Timberlake’s face during the moment which caused Christina’s smooch to get far less attention.
The performance seemed to ignite a feud, with the Moulin Rouge singer making a snide remark about Spears while talking to Blender magazine which caused the Lucky singer to smear her name right back.
‘Every time I tried to start a conversation with her—well, let’s just say she seemed nervous the whole time,’ Christina had said. ‘She seems to me like a lost little girl, someone who desperate needs guidance.’
Retaliating the Circus singer then flipped it on her. ‘A lost girl? I think it’s probably the other way around.’

She continued to recount a bizarre encounter where she accused the Ain’t No Other Man singer of being ‘fake’ after she tried to ‘put her tongue down my throat’ in a nightclub after not having seen or spoken for years.
‘When someone has been rude to you so many times, it’s like, “You know what, Christina, I’m really not about the fake anymore,”‘ Spears told Blender.
Insults continued to hurl a year later as Christina said Britney acted like ‘trailer trash’ and quipped that her engagement ring from Kevin Federline looked like it was from ‘QVC.’
She later recanted the statements while speaking to DailyMail.com in 2008 and tried to say that they weren’t competitive despite the media portrayal.
‘When we both started releasing records, it was a funny time for me. It must have seemed as if we were competing with each other, but, in reality, Britney is someone that I used to hold hands with. I don’t pass any judgment on what she does, I always wish her all the best.’
A decade later Christina seemed to try and start anew as she posted a video collage of herself with powerful women for International Women’s Day, which included Spears.
Free: Following 13 years Britney’s conservatorship was terminated for good with the help from her lawyer Mathew Rosengart and it has now been said that she and her team including former conservator Jodi Montgomery have filed a ‘termination plan’ to help her transition to normal life
