Lady Gaga honored Spears with a touching Instagram post, which featured a photo of the duo sharing an embrace at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.

"I have loved @britneyspears her whole career. I looked up to her, admired her strength—she empowered so many people and still does. I couldn’t be more happy for you today. You never deserved what happened, Thank God 4 today," wrote Gaga in the post. "You’re a superstar and a super-human being. I LOVE YOU."

Gaga wasn't the only star overjoyed at the news that Spears would no longer be controlled by the conservatorship. Spears received a flurry of support on social media from friends, acquaintances and fans.

Music legend Dionne Warwick even referred to Friday as "a day to celebrate the liberation of Britney Spears."

Britney's attorney Mathew Rosengart told reporters after the hearing, per Variety, "What's next for Britney, and this is the first time this could be said for about a decade, is up to one person: Britney. We have a safety net in place for Britney, both on the personal side and on the financial side. But Britney as of today is a free woman and she's an independent woman and the rest, with her support system, will be up to Britney."
