She discusses that she had many identity crisis' about who she wanted to be in the public eye and admits that it influenced her exaggerated personas. She says she never created a character who she didn't see herself in, however was aware of how people seen her and played into it slightly.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Miley Cyrus shot to fame on the Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, playing Miley Stewart, a young girl living a double life as a megafamous pop star named, you guessed it, Hannah Montana. While the show was fictional, Miley recently revealed that its theme hit a lot closer to home than she originally thought - and it wasn't always the best of both worlds.

Miley talked about her relationship with fame and Hannah in an appearance on the podcast Rock This With Allison Hagendorf, saying that at the time, she began to act like Hannah Montana in her real life too.

"Talk about an identity crisis. I was a character almost as often as I was myself," Miley explained. "The concept of the show is that when you're this character, when you have this alter ego, you're valuable. You've got millions of fans, you're the biggest star in the world. Then the concept was that when I looked like myself ... when I didn't have the wig on anymore, no one cared about me. I wasn't a star anymore." According to Miley, the show's concept was "drilled into her head" IRL. "Like, without being Hannah Montana, no one cares about you."

This led Miley to create what she called a "characterized version" of herself to present to the world, starting with her outrageous, over-the-top Bangerz era. "I never created a character that wasn't me, but I was aware of how people saw me and I kind of played into it a little bit," she said.

Miley has talked about her complicated relationship with Hannah before. Last year, she told Rolling Stone that there weren't clear boundaries between the show and her life. "I had to evolve because Hannah was larger than life, larger than me. I felt like I was never going to amount to the success of Hannah Montana," she shared. "Really, Hannah Montana was not a character. That wasn't what the show is about. It was about a normal girl with a f*cking wig on. Everything was always in me. The concept of the show, it's me. I've had to really come to terms with that and not be third-person about it."

With the success of Miley Cyrus' sitcom, Hannah Montana, it was inevitable that many stars would feel extremely inspired by her songs...even if they didn't realize it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When Sabrina Carpenter was six, she watched Disney's Hannah Montana and realized exactly who she wanted to be.

"I remember...watching the pilot and being like 'I want to do that. I want to sing, and I want to act, and I want to dance. I want to do all those things,'' she said in a 2020 interview. Three years later, Carpenter would end up getting her big break because of the show's star Miley Cyrus, competing in the MileyWorld Superstar Contest to get a record deal. She placed third but still found her way to Disney and a music career within a few years' time, thanks to being cast on Girl Meets World.

From 2006 to 2011, it was impossible to avoid the phenomenon that was Hannah Montana and, subsequently, Miley Cyrus. The premise was peak kid show brilliance: By day, Cyrus' Miley Stewart was a normal high school girl with normal high school problems; by night, she'd throw on a blonde wig and turned into her superstar counterpart Hannah Montana. Montana's rock star life was glittery pop fun, churning out some of the best Disney-associated music of its era and translating to real Top 40 hits. It also turned Cyrus into a megastar, one who seemed to be transforming into a real-life Hannah Montana right before the worlds' eyes as she began debuting songs under her own name.

Carpenter is not the only Gen Z pop star of the moment who found their calling from watching the show. Chappell Roan has continuously pointed to her fandom of Hannah Montana as the starting point for her own ambitions. During a show in NYC back in early 2023, Roan even performed in Hannah Montana drag for a few songs. Meanwhile, videos and photos from Olivia Rodrigo's childhood show off her pre-pubescent love for the show (and like Carpenter, she had also gotten her start on the same channel as Cyrus before mounting an even bigger singing career). The more divisive JoJo Siwa credits the show with her own origins, with her mom telling Rolling Stone years ago that she wanted her daughter "to be the next Hannah Montana." (Siwa more recently has cited Cyrus' Bangerz era as the primary inspiration for her more adult career pivot).

The effects of Hannah Montana 's success was immediate in many ways, spurring the careers of her then-Disney peers like Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers and the shows and movies they each carried. But the impact of the show and Cyrus' star power is finally being felt in full-force these days. We are now entering the Hannah Montana Generation of pop stars: young artists who are not just evoking the frilly and bold aesthetic and unapologetically sugary sweet music of the show but also the type of larger-than-life persona Montana had in comparison to "real-life" Stewart. Carpenter is the prime example of leaning into the Hannah Montana-ification of her own career and brand: in recent years, she has leaned into the high-femme styling, make-up and big blonde hair that has become her signature look when performing. It's been translating even more into her latest string of releases, with songs like "Feather," "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" matching that coy, pastels-and-bejeweled-hearts, girlish persona she heightens on camera.

Like Carpenter, Roan's own music in the years leading up to recent global success has been a mix of both earnestly confessional songs and big, bold arena-worthy pop anthems. Recently viral hits like "Hot to Go!" and "Femininomenon" feel like exactly the type of songs an older Hannah Montana would make, progressing the bravado of songs like "Rock Star" mixed with the ear-worminess of "Nobody's Perfect" or "The Best of Both Worlds."

It's probably no coincidence that during the era of her influence looming the most, Cyrus herself has been having a career renaissance of sorts. Her 2023 single "Flowers" became her biggest song-to-date, a feat for someone nearly 20 years into a career chock full of platinum-selling hit songs. She also took home her first Grammy Awards at this year's ceremony, a long-overdue honor that Cyrus celebrated on-stage with a head-turning performance during the telecast. Unlike her numerous other head-turning televised performances, the focus was on her singing and stage-presence and nothing else.

This is just the beginning of the world seeing the Hannah Montana Generation take over. Carpenter and Roan have been hustling to become the type of hit-makers they are now for years respectively - and who knows how many other young kids who learned how to both make and perform a truly great pop song from Cyrus' are still waiting in the wings for their time to shine.

The father of teen star Miley Cyrus said the Disney TV show "Hannah Montana" that made her a worldwide star, in truth destroyed his family, and he blamed it for sending his daughter out of control.

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus said he was scared for 18 year-old Miley after a series of scandals including an infamous video last year which showed her getting high on the psychedelic herb salvia.

And he said he wished that "Hannah Montana" had never happened.

"The damn show destroyed my family," Cyrus told GQ magazine in an interview for its March edition. "I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be okay, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

Cyrus, 49, played father to his daughter on "Hannah Montana" - a wholesome Disney Channel show about a normal teenager by day but a singing star at night - that launched Miley Cyrus as a teen idol and top-selling recording artist.

"Hannah Montana" launched in 2006 and ended after four seasons in January 2011.

Last October, the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer filed for divorce from his wife Tish after a 17-year marriage.

Cyrus compared his daughter's current situation to celebrities like Kurt Cobain, Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson, who all died in tragic circumstances.

"I'm scared for her," Cyrus said of Miley. "She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger. I know she's 18 but I still feel like, as her daddy, I'd like to try to help. Take care of her just a little bit, to at least get her out of danger.

"I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop the insanity for a minute. When you go through what she's been through, it takes a beating on you," he said.

Cyrus carried out the GQ interview in December, shortly after home video of Miley Cyrus hit the Internet smoking the hallucinogenic herb salvia at a private party with friends just days after her 18th birthday.

The herb is not illegal in California, but the images of Miley Cyrus giggling about tripping capped a year in which she has thrown aside her once squeaky-clean image with raunchy pop videos and scantily-clad live performances.

Miley Cyrus last week expressed regret over the salvia incident, saying she had made a mistake and had disappointed her mostly young fans. She is due to host TV sketch show "Saturday Night Live" for the first time next month.

Billy Ray Cyrus, best known for his 1990s country music albums, said he wished he had been a better parent to Miley and disciplined her more, rather than wanting to be her friend.

"I should have said, 'Enough is enough - it's getting dangerous and somebody's going to get hurt'. I should have but I didn't. Honestly I didn't know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere," he said.

After being together for four years, the couple were rumoured to have split early 2013. Their split was announced in September 2013, only 2 weeks before the release of Bangerz.

The constant messiness of this relationship was always making headlines, therefore maintaining Miley's star image.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Miley Cyrus has called off her engagement to actor Liam Hemsworth after four years together. Representatives for both stars confirmed that the couple had decided to split.

Cyrus, 20, and Hemsworth, 23, first met in 2009 on the set of their film The Last Song. In May 2012, they announced that they had decided to get married. "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Cyrus told People magazine at the time.

News of the engagement was met with scepticism: Hemsworth, who joined the cast of Neighbours aged 17, and Cyrus, who played Disney channel's Hannah Montana from 14 to 19, were seen as impulsive and immature. Despite a few bumps, however, the couple weathered the storm. "I'd bet on them being able to go the distance," Sarah Ditum wrote in the Guardian.

Still, the wedding never materialised. Cyrus was occasionally seen without a wedding ring. Earlier this year, there were reports that the nuptials would wait until after the release of Cyrus's new album, Bangerz, or perhaps Hemsworth's film Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released. Nevertheless, the couple appeared together at a Los Angeles movie premiere on 8 August.

"I definitely don't have time to deal with a wedding right now ... but I will at some point," Cyrus said in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar. Playing Hannah Montana, she explained, "I was an adult when I was supposed to be a kid. So now I'm an adult, and I'm acting like a kid."

Cyrus's new single, Wrecking Ball, and its controversial video, are out now.

Cyrus dealt with a lot of prying, volatile media attention in her teens and early twenties, including the negative response to her infamous 2008 Vanity Fair cover where she was photographed wrapped in a sheet with her back to the camera, appearing to be topless. Cyrus apologized at the time, but in 2018 she took that apology back, writing on Instagram: "IM NOT SORRY [sic] F*ck YOU."

Another scandal that made headlines was the 2010 video of Cyrus smoking a bong, which the star also revisited 10 years after the fact on social media. "Happy 10 year anniversary to the groundbreaking video of a teenager smoking a bong & saying dumb sh*t to their friends," she captioned her repost of the video on Instagram.

Only a few years later, Cyrus would become a controversial figure in pop culture for her shock value moves, like appearing naked in her "Wrecking Ball" music video and her "messy" and raunchy performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV VMAs. The musician told British Vogue that she chased the controversies of her early twenties in part to create a character to set herself apart as an artist - and distance herself from the neon Disney halo of Hannah Montana.

"I'm actually not an attention-seeking person, sitting here as a 30-year-old grown woman," she explained. "I was creating attention for myself because I was dividing myself from a character I had played. Anyone, when you're 20 or 21, you have more to prove. 'I'm not my parents.' 'I am who I am.'" These days, however, Cyrus is more into working out, enjoying nature, embracing her sobriety, and going to museums. "It's not about being self-serious. I'm just evolved."

The singer also got candid about her time as Hannah Montana, which she'll always be "proud" of.

Miley Cyrus is officially the youngest star to become a Disney Legend, and she's using the opportunity to take a walk down memory lane, remembering her early days at Dinsey and poking fun at some of her past headlines.

On August 11, Cyrus was officially inducted as a Disney Legend, an honor reserved for those who have made a significant impact on the company. The ceremony was held at the Honda Centre in Anaheim, California, during the annual D23 fan convention.

Cyrus, who rose to fame with Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, playing the titular role of Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart since 2006, was among the many honorees of the night, which also included Colleen Atwood, Angela Bassett, Martha Blanding, James L. Brooks, James Cameron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Steve Ditko, Harrison Ford, Mark Henn, Frank Oz, Kelly Ripa, Joe Rohde, and John Williams.

Cyrus's Disney Legend induction featured a tribute video featuring commentary from John Travolta, Bret Michaels, and Chappell Roan. When it came time for her to take the stage to collect her award, Cyrus was welcomed on stage by country singer Lainey Wilson, who covered "Best of Both Worlds," which served as the theme song for Hannah Montana and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Once on stage, Cyrus delivered an emotional speech reminiscing about her five years as Hannah. ( Hannah Montana aired from 2006 to 2011 on the Dinsey Channel. Cyrus also starred in the 2009 spinoff movie Hannah Montana: The Movie and headlined the Best of Both Worlds tour in 2011 as part of the project.)

"In 2005, Disney was on a mission to rebuild and reimagine the company - that's why they hired Bob Iger and me," Cyrus joked before recounting how she became Hannah. Cyrus added that after shooting the pilot, she "had gotten a taste of what my life could be" and "did not want anything else."

She also recounted how she performed her first-ever show at a mall in Glendale to record scenes for the show despite not a soul knowing who she was. "I was a little girl in a blonde wig at the mall with a big dream, but in my heart, I was Hannah Montana, and I was so proud to be," Cyrus recalled.

She continued, "A little bit of everything has changed since that day, but at the same time, nothing has changed at all. I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana because she made Miley in so many ways. This award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing, loyal fans and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, this is the life."

Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, also praised Cyrus in a press release before the ceremony. "To be named a Disney Legend is the highest honor our company can bestow on anyone, reserved for those whose talent and achievement have earned them an enduring place in our history," he said. "The fourteen individuals to be honored as Disney Legends this year have each made extraordinary creative contributions across the worlds of Disney."

In her speech, Cyrus also took the chance to poke fun at a couple of mainstay pop culture moments, firstly the longstanding rumor that Disney kids are all created in the company's Burbank offices and, secondly, her infamous Bangerz era. "I definitely wasn't created in a lab, and if I was, there must have been a bug in the system, which caused me to malfunction somewhere between the years of 2013 and 2016. Sorry, Mickey!" the star quipped.

Cyrus's Hannah Montana chapter might not be over yet. In 2020, the star admitted she was open to reprising the role during a Carolina With Greg T In The Morning appearance. "You know what, honestly, I try to put that wig on all the time," Cyrus said at the time. She's just in storage collecting dust, and I'm ready to whip her out. The opportunity will present itself. "I definitely would like to resurrect her at some point."

If you want to relive Miley Cyrus's Disney Legend speech in full (and HD), the Disney Legends Awards Ceremony will stream on Disney+ starting from 5 p.m. EST on Monday, August 12.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ou almost feel sorry for pop divas. Their every move is sifted for significance by fans, haters and professional cultural scrutineers alike. Every gesture is loaded; every stylistic nuance is grist to some commentary, a process at whose sharp end Miley Cyrus finds herself, once again. Her latest album, Younger Now, finds the child star turned pop provocateur pivoting hard after two radically different long-form releases, 2013's Bangerz (hard-partying R&B) and 2015's Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (stoned pop, given away free).

You can hear Younger Now one of two ways. It is either a pleasant country-tinged outing that reflects, tunefully, on Cyrus's recent past, roping in her godmother, Dolly Parton, for a track called Rainbowland, in which they envision some sort of utopia that twangs (it is also the name of Cyrus's recording studio). This is Cyrus au naturel, daughter of another country star, Billy Ray Cyrus, gimmick-free, #unfiltered. Alternatively, you can see Younger Now as pure white flight, a retrenchment into heartland Americana after unapologetically channelling R&B and the impression of being bulletproof.

Younger Now is the sound of Cyrus, or her record company, panicking and hitting "reset"

So the mothers of small girls can rejoice: Younger Now is a twerk-free zone. Malibu is all California sunshine and lovehearts directed towards Cyrus's on-off-on fiance; in the video, Cyrus cavorts demurely. The album isn't entirely retrograde: a few tracks sound like it's 2017. Thinkin' is a throwback to pop R&B, while one of the album's best songs, Bad Mood, sulks seductively. Producer Oren Yoel, who plays all the instruments, came on board during the Bangerz era, so the about-face behind the desk is, perhaps, not quite so dizzying.

And yet Week Without You is another old-time charmer that opens a trio of straight-up love songs, Miss You So Much and I Would Die for You. Inspired closes the album with a ballad that frets for the planet. The video for the title track involves a puppet; Cyrus is styled like a 50s sweetheart of the rodeo. In the lyrics, Cyrus gets her excuses in swiftly: "No one stays the same," she sings as a dancer twirls pointedly on a pole. "Even though it's not who I am/I'm not afraid of who I used to be."

You're tempted to conclude that the former self Cyrus is unafraid to acknowledge is Hannah Montana, rather than the grill-sporting, Molly-mentioning hellraiser of We Can't Stop (Molly being E). Bangerz brought with it serious charges of cultural appropriation; as an R&B-free zone, Younger Now confirms Cyrus really was just a cultural tourist. It's a shame, because Cyrus did R&B well, lending her supple voice and a deranged sense of fun to an often po-faced sound; Mike Will's imprimatur on production lent the whole endeavour ballast.

Younger Now isn't a failure exactly - just the sound of Cyrus, or her record company, panicking and hitting "reset". And that cultural fear - that this theoretically Teflon-coated pop star would be in such haste to hand back her " hood pass " (well, her notional "hood pass") - is the saddest thing about a record in which a young woman finds herself in love again.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For anyone who grew up at the same time as Miley Cyrus, her name resonates with the essence of reinvention and unapologetic self-expression. The singer has been in the spotlight since she was a child, and she's undergone a remarkable evolution under public scrutiny.

From her early days as a charming Disney star to her more recent projects as a bold and boundary-defying artist, Cyrus has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. With that, the singer also managed to create a great impact on the fashion landscape, inspiring fans across the globe to defy trends and instead make fashion choices that feel right for them.

While her looks aren't everyone's cup of tea, no one can deny that Cyrus has a marvelous talent for reinventing herself, whether that be through her music or her fashion choices. She's known for embracing a more liberated and edgier aesthetic, but even within that category, she constantly manages to switch things up. From bohemian chic to glam rock and everything in between, Cyrus fearlessly embraces a spectrum of styles as she evolves in her career and grows in her personal life. Say what you want about the former Disney star, but no one can call any stage of her fashion journey boring.

2018: The singer gives us more and more glam

Once the late 2010s rolled around, the singer seemingly ended her funky and colorful phase as she began rocking more glamorous and sophisticated looks. For the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she opted to go with a gorgeous Prabal Gurung ivory and black gown with a high slit and deep v-neck.

However, don't be fooled - Miley Cyrus still loved unique pieces and fun looks, and even within the realm of glamorous fashion, she still managed to infuse quirkiness into her outfits. A great example of that is the Moschino ensemble she rocked to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party that same year. Nevertheless, the switch in her style was undeniable, especially as she toned down not only her wild clothing choices but also her makeup, and she began rocking shoulder-length blond hair, which she often wore in retro curls.

Miley Cyrus is the latest celebrity to embrace the celebrity-favorite peekaboo bra layering style that has been trending on red carpets this summer. On Thursday, to celebrate the new Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid fragrance at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, the singer performed in a head-to-toe Gucci outfit featuring a lace bralette layered under a wraparound minidress.

Cyrus' minidress featured long sleeves and a plunging bodice with an asymmetrical skirt silhouette. She paired it with a chunky gold necklace and Gucci's patent leather strappy sandals.

The lace bralette was part of Gucci's cruise 2025 collection, which was introduced in May at Tate Modern in London. The piece is already a celebrity favorite, with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Kendall Jenner recently wearing the style.

The Gucci cruise 2025 collection was created by Sabato De Sarno, who sourced inspiration on "the icon of Sloanes, Princess Diana and the American-style, oversize green varsity jacket she wore when she took her boys to school in the 1990s," WWD previously reported.

De Sarno was also behind the new Flora Gorgeous Orchid campaign, which features Miley Cyrus. The singer started her partnership with Gucci in 2021, when she fronted the Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum campaign directed by Petra Collins under Alessandro Michele's creative direction.

At the event, Cyrus also performed her hit song "Flowers" for Salma Hayek, Kendall Jenner, Law Roach, Maude Apatow, Kelly Sawyer, Kim Petras and more guests.
