Hybridization of Cu2+ in tetraamminecopper(II) sulfate complex

$\ce{Cu^2+} $ has 9 electrons and a dthe $\mathrm d$-orbital and is almost completely filled (except for 1 electron vacantvacancy) and $\ce{NH3}$ donates an electron, eventually forming $\mathrm{sp^3}$ hybrid orbitals, where each $\ce{NH3}$ donates a lone pair of electrons.

But it has been found to have a square planar geometry, hence completely contradicting the above reasoning. PleaseSo, please explain what is the hybridization isof the $\ce{Cu^2+}$ in the given complex?

Improved MathJax usage and added a few missing articles. But the question is bad.
