Savannah took to IG Tuesday night ... writing, "My daddy never fell short of making my dreams come true. No matter how high or how far, he made a way. Not only did he make my dreams come true, he chased them with me. Worldwide he was there, my biggest cheerleader. He is my best friend, my voice of reason, and my favorite phone call every day."

The 23-year-old posted a series of photos of her with her father ... including moments from her wedding, horseback riding, and him posing with her 3-year-old son, Lake.

It was apparently time for Britney Spears to clean house ... but not before she took a rare moment to actually sing for her fans on Instagram.

It's hard to say how much effort she was putting into singing -- it's arguably a tad shrill -- but she was having fun, adding the caption ... "Messing around with lighting and cleaning my house like no tomorrow 😳😳😳😂😂😂."
