Miley Cyrus showed her support for Britney Spears by chanting “Free Britney” at her Las Vegas show on July 4, amid the singer’s battle over her conservatorship.
Music Cyrus was one of the earliest #FreeBritney supporters. Sorry, Jay-Z, but right now, Miley Cyrus is more concerned with the other singer named on her iconic hit “Party In the U.S.A.” Cyrus showed her support for Britney Spears during her Las Vegas show on July 4, amid the singer’s battle over her conservatorship. On June 23, Spears spoke out against her conservatorship in court, saying it had become “abusive” after she was allegedly held at a mental health facility and put on lithium against her will in 2019, and outlining restrictions that her conservator, father Jamie Spears, reportedly inflicted upon her. “He loved the control to hurt his own daughter 100,000%,” she said. “In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking.” While performing “Party In the U.S.A.” as the finale of her Fourth of July show (how fitting), Cyrus changed the line “That’s when the taxi man turned on the radio, and a Jay-Z song was on” to “He turned to me and said, ‘Free Britney!’,” leading her audience into a “Free Britney” chant.
