Spears begins to return to herself. She realizes that she has to fight back against her father to end the conservatorship. She resolves to become more assertive and strong. 

When her residency in Las Vegas ends in 2017, Spears is excited, wanting a break from non-stop performing, especially since the show never changed and she was allowed no creative input. Spears states that she had shown interest in remixing some of her songs or adding new ones to the show over the years, but her father forbade it because it wasn’t a priority for him.

During the years of her conservatorship, Spears’s two vacations a year with her sons are very important to her. The year her album Glory comes out, her tour and promotion schedule prevent her from taking her vacations. The following year, her team initially tells her she can have the whole summer off. However, when her Vegas shows come to an end, she’s told that she has to go on tour again that summer; if she refuses, she will go to court.
