Miley Cyrus He has rebuilt its public history through frankness, self -criticism and reflection on the challenges it lived, as well as a female figure in Disney machinery and in its consolidation as an adult artist.
Recently, in an interview with The interview podcasta podcast belonging to The New York Times, The singer and actress offered unpublished details about gender inequality in the industry, her link with the Jonas Brothershis perspective on motherhood, his passage through children’s fame and the complex relationship with his parents.
The contrast between the trajectories of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers is revealing about gender dynamics in the adolescent entertainment industry. Although Cyrus says that “Hannah Montana”It was Disney’s most successful program at the time, he acknowledges that there was an invisible roof when it was about being taken into account for certain professional events.
The artist recalls that while Jonas Brothers They were invited to high profile presentations – like the Grammywhere they acted next to Stevie Wonder And they received the nomination for the best new artist – she did not enjoy the same type of recognition, although her television work accumulated more years in the air and a phenomenon of global popularity.
Miley herself argues that the reason was clear: “They were male, and it was like that.” In addition, he emphasizes the difference between being a female teenage star (and embodying, where appropriate, the character of the Popstar with Peluca) and the treatment Disney destined to his male figures. The singer insists that having overcome that context was, to a large extent, part of her maturation process, although for a long time she felt that she worked the same or more than her male peers without the same level of institutional recognition.
Miley Cyrus’s passage through her youth was also crossed by His relationship with Nick Jonas, one of the stories most often by fans of the teenage pop culture of the time. Both met in 2006 and maintained a courtship of almost two years, time in which they shared, in addition to television and musical projects, vital experiences in full effervescence of their careers.
After the separation, the mutual influence soon overturned in his music: Miley wrote the popular song “7 things”, a direct reference to his ex -partner, while Nick was inspired by that experience for the song “Wedding Bells.”
Beyond the sentimental and media impact, the relationship between the two emphasizes how the personal life of the young Disney figures ended, almost inevitably, imbricated with their creative work. In fact, Miley has shared in numerous opportunities that this period of his life, so exposed, served to find his own voice, returning his emotions raw material for music.
In the same interview, Miley Cyrus honestly addressed the issue of motherhood and made clear its position: “It has never been something that I love too much”. The singer explained that her choice of not having children lies in the lack of genuine interest and the responsibility it implies, something that prefers to avoid feeling a deep desire along that path.
He compared his lack of enthusiasm for motherhood with his decision not to launch a makeup line – a trend between celebrities – because, he said, he is only interested in devoting himself to what really moves it. “It is a lot”, In addition, repeatedly, he hinted that, if the possibility of being a mother, he would prefer adoption, especially given his ecological concerns and awareness about the limited resources of the planet.
Cyrus stressed that her decision is personal and does not imply a trial over those who choose another way, but stressed that it was never a priority for her: “I think I would have a more realistic idea of what you want. That has never been my priorityThus, he also slid his concern about the social pressure that he usually weighs about women, especially those with public profiles, to meet certain gender expectations.
From an early age, Miley Cyrus lived under the mantle of notoriety, first as the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and, since the age of 13, as the protagonist of “Hannah Montana”. The phenomenon of the program catapulted it as an icon of a generation, but also placed it in the center of an industry dominated by strenuous routines, public judgments and difficulties to forge its own identity outside the character.
The transition to adulthood was plagued with controversies and severe external looks. The most remembered example is his performance with Robin Thicke in the MTV Video Music Awards of 2013, which generated the repudiation of organizations such as the TV Parents Council. Miley herself recognizes, in retrospect, that scrutiny and social misunderstanding significantly marked that stage: “I would never look at someone 18, 19, 20 or 21 years old and judge it as an adult, because it is not yet”Despite media blows, the artist highlights that those intense years were also a laboratory to learn to protect and establish limits.
That constant exposure – summarized to experiences of bullying in his adolescence – caused in Cyrus the need to work in his emotional life from an early age. He declares to have resorted to constancy therapy since the age of 17 or 18, a key resource to process the weight of the external trial and the pressure to be rendered.
The recent success of “Flowers” and the Grammy obtained mark an important turning point for Miley Cyrus. The distinction not only rewards one of her most massive songs, but also represents for her the real leap of “overcoming Disney and the character” to recognition for his artistic authenticity. The artist admitted that she had never assumed how much she had hurt not to be formally recognized for her work, despite having had successes on the lists and a community of faithful admirers.
Receiving Grammy, in his own words, worked as a closure for a stage of his life in which he felt that he had to constantly try his worth beyond Hannah Montana. The way to that validation was sown with obstacles, but the satisfaction of achieving it lies in the confirmation of its own route and a consolidated voice.
“Flowers is not my best song, but the Grammys recognized me for that. Winning that award was to overcome Disney and the character. I advanced a lot and very fast“He finished.
The last year has brought new personal lessons for Miley, mainly after the divorce of their parents and changes in the family structure. The singer has reported how to learn to see her parents as individuals outside the parental role allowed her to “grow” and overcome old resentments. “I assumed part of my mother’s pain as my own,” he said, but he finds peace in seeing his happy mother with his stepfather and his father remakeing his life.
The relationship with his mother remains an emotional anchor and source of inspiration, to the point of dedicating one of the main songs of his new album, “End of the World.” This link, added to the maturity achieved after years of media exposure, marks a new stage in the life of Miley Cyrus: more authentic, reflective and focused on self -care and genuine affections.
