Regarded as a pop icon, Cyrus has been recognized for her evolving artistry and image reinventions. She is a daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and deemed one of the few examples of a child star with a successful musical career as an adult. Cyrus emerged as a teen idol as the title character in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana (2006–2011). As Hannah Montana, she achieved success on the Billboard charts with two number-one soundtracks.
Destiny Hope Cyrus was born November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee,[2] to Leticia "Tish" Jean Cyrus (née Finley) and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.[2] She was born with supraventricular tachycardia, a condition causing an abnormal resting heart rate.[3] Her birth name, Destiny Hope, expressed her parents' belief that she would accomplish great things. Her parents nicknamed her "Smiley", which they later shortened to "Miley", because she often smiled as an infant.[4] In 2008, she legally changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus; her middle name honors her grandfather, Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus, who was from Kentucky.[5] Cyrus's godmother is singer-songwriter Dolly Parton.[6]
Against the advice of her father's record company,[7] Cyrus's parents secretly married on December 28, 1993, a year after her birth.[8] They had two more children, son Braison and daughter Noah.[9] From a previous relationship, her mother has two other children, Brandi and Trace.[10] Her father's first child, Christopher Cody, was born in April 1992[8] and grew up separately with his mother, waitress Kristin Luckey, in South Carolina.[7][11]
All of Cyrus's maternal siblings are established entertainers. Trace is a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro Station.[12] Noah is an actress and, along with Braison, models, sings, and is a songwriter.[13][14][15][16][17] Brandi was formerly a musician for the indie rock band Frank + Derol[18][19] and is a professional DJ. The Cyrus farmhouse is located on 500 acres of land outside Nashville.[20]
Cyrus attended Heritage Elementary School in Williamson County while she and her family lived in Thompson's Station, Tennessee.[21] When she was cast in Hannah Montana, the family moved to Los Angeles and she attended Options for Youth Charter Schools[22] studying with a private tutor on set.[23] Raised as a Christian, she was baptized in a Southern Baptist church before moving to Hollywood in 2005.[24] She attended church regularly while growing up and wore a purity ring.[25] In 2001, when Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada, while her father filmed the television series Doc.[26] After Billy Ray Cyrus took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production of Mamma Mia! at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Miley Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him, "This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress."[27] She began to take singing and acting lessons at the Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto.[28]
Cyrus's first acting role was as Kylie in her father's television series Doc.[4] In 2003, she received credit under her birth name for her role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish.[29] During this period she auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Although she was one of two finalists for the role, she chose to appear in Hannah Montana instead.[30] Her mother took on the role of Miley's manager and worked to acquire a team to build her daughter's career.[31][32] Cyrus signed with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty.[33] Gossett is often credited with "discovering" Cyrus and played a key role in her auditioning for Hannah Montana.[34] She later signed with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group to handle her music career; Dolly Parton steered her to him.[32] She hired her father's finance manager as part of her team.[32]
Career
2006–2009: Hannah Montana and early musical releases
Cyrus auditioned for the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana when she was thirteen years old.[35] She auditioned for the role of the title character's best friend, but was called to audition for the lead role instead seeing her comical performance.[35] Despite being denied the part at first because she was "too small and too young" for the role,[36] she was later cast as the lead because of her singing and goofy acting abilities.[37] The series premiered in March 2006 to the largest audience for a Disney Channel program[38] and quickly ranked among the highest-rated series on basic cable.[39] The success of the series led to Cyrus' being labeled a "teen idol."[29][40] She toured with the Cheetah Girls as Hannah Montana in September 2006 and performed songs from the show's first season.[41]Walt Disney Records released a soundtrack credited to Cyrus's character in October of that year.[42] The record was both a critical and commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 chart in the United States; it went on to sell over threemillion copies worldwide.[43] With the release of the soundtrack, Cyrus became the first act within the Walt Disney Company to have deals in television, film, consumer products, and music.[40]
Cyrus signed a four-album deal with Hollywood Records to distribute her non-Hannah Montana soundtrack music.[44] She released the two-disc album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus in June 2007.[45] The first disc was credited as the second soundtrack by "Hannah Montana", while the second disc served as Cyrus's debut studio album.[45] The album became her second to reach the top of the Billboard 200, and has sold over threemillion copies.[46] Months after the release of the project, "See You Again" (2007) was released as the lead single from the album.[47] The song was a commercial success, and has sold over twomillion copies in the United States since its release.[48] She collaborated with her father on the single "Ready, Set, Don't Go" (2007).[49] Next Cyrus embarked on her highly successful Best of Both Worlds Tour (2007–08) to promote its release.[50][51]Ticketmaster officials commented that "there [hadn't] been a demand of this level or intensity since The Beatles or Elvis."[52] The tour's success led to the theatrical release of the 3D concert film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008).[53] While initially intended to be a limited release, the film's success led to a longer run.[54]
Cyrus and friend Mandy Jiroux began posting videos on YouTube in February 2008, referring to the clips as "The Miley and Mandy Show"; the videos garnered a large online following.[55] In April 2008, several pictures of Cyrus in her underwear and swimsuit were leaked online by a teenager who hacked her Gmail account.[56][57] Further controversy erupted when it was reported that the then-15-year-old Cyrus had posed topless during a photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.[58]The New York Times subsequently clarified that although the shot left the impression that Cyrus was bare-breasted, she was wrapped in a bed sheet and was not topless.[59]
Cyrus went on to release her second studio album, Breakout (2008), in June of that year.[60] The album earned the highest first-week sales of her career thus far and became her third to top the Billboard 200.[61][62] Cyrus later starred with John Travolta in the animated film Bolt (2008), her debut as a film actress; she also co-wrote the song "I Thought I Lost You" (2008) for the film, which she sings as a duet with Travolta.[63] The film was both a critical and commercial success and earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song.[64]
In March 2009, Cyrus released "The Climb" (2009) as a single from the soundtrack to the Hannah Montana feature film.[65] It was met with a warm critical and commercial reaction, becoming a crossover hit in both pop and country music formats.[66] The soundtrack, which features the single, went on to become Cyrus's fourth entry to top the Billboard 200; at age 16, she became the youngest artist in history to have four number-one albums on the chart.[67] She released her fourth soundtrack as Hannah Montana in July 2009, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.[68] Cyrus later launched her first fashion line, Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, through Walmart.[69] It was promoted by the release of "Party in the U.S.A." (2009) and the EPThe Time of Our Lives (2009).[70][71] Cyrus said the record was "a transitioning album [...] really to introduce people to what I want my next record to sound like and with time I will be able to do that a little more."[71] "Party in the U.S.A." became one of Cyrus's most successful singles to date and is considered to be one of her signature songs.[72] She embarked on her first world tour, the Wonder World Tour (2009) which was a critical and commercial success.[73] On December 7, 2009, Cyrus performed for Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the British royal family at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, Lancashire.[74]

US charts.[260] With thirteen weeks each atop the global charts, it became the longest-running and the third longest-running leader on the charts at the time, respectively.[261] Topping the Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks, it marked Cyrus's second and longest-running US number-one single, after "Wrecking Ball" (2013).[262][263] "Flowers" became a global success[264] topping the charts in 37 countries,[265] including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the UK.[266] It was the most-streamed and most-downloaded song on various platforms in numerous countries,[267] and the most-consumed song on US radio; in 2023.[268] On Spotify, the single became the fastest track to surpass 100 million and 1 billion plays (7 and 112 days), at the time.[269][270] Due to 57 weeks atop the BillboardAdult Contemporary chart, it became the longest-running number one song on any Billboardairplay chart in history.[271] It also earned the most cumulative weeks atop all Billboard airplay charts (106 weeks) of all time.[272] "Flowers" topped the year-end charts in various regions,[273] and ranked as the second best-performing song of the year on the year-end Hot 100 chart of 2023.[274] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it was the best-selling song of 2023 globally.[275] A demo version of the track was made available on March 3, 2023.[276]
Cyrus's eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, was released on March 10, 2023. She co-produced it with Kid Harpoon, Greg Kurstin, Mike Will Made It, and Tyler Johnson.[277] Cyrus's first studio effort with Columbia Records, she described the record as "[her] love letter to LA", which reflects upon physical and mental growth she experienced during production.[278] Cyrus decided to primarily focus on songcraft, before handling production, on the album—a pop and dance-pop record.[279] It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 119,000 album-equivalent units, marking Cyrus's tenth top-five and fourteenth top-ten entry on the chart.[280] "River", the second single off the record, was released on March 13, 2023,[281][282] and reached number 32 on the US Hot 100.[283] "Jaded", which peaked at number 56, became the third single in April 2023.[284][285]Endless Summer Vacation was the 19th best-selling album globally in 2023, according to the IFPI.[286]
A documentary concert special, under her Backyard Sessions series, titled Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions), premiered on Disney+ on March 10, accompanying the album's release.[287] Executive produced by Cyrus, it features her performing songs from the album, and her 2009 single "The Climb", with an appearance by Rufus Wainwright.[288][289] In June, she voiced Van, a nihilistic female creature, in the second season of the Netflix adult animated sitcom Human Resources.[290] An updated version of Cyrus's Disney+ special, titled Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions), premiered on ABC on August 24, 2023. The day after, Cyrus released the single "Used to Be Young", which was included in the digital reissue of Endless Summer Vacation[291] and debuted at number eight in the US.[292] On October 20, Dolly Parton released a rock re-recording of "Wrecking Ball" featuring Cyrus as a guest vocalist, as the final single of her studio album Rockstar (2023).[293]Billboard ranked Cyrus as the ninth-best-selling musician of 2023.[294]
Cyrus possesses a mezzo-sopranovocal range,[326] although her vocals were once described as alto[327] with a "Nashville twang" in both her spoken and singing voice. Her voice has a distinctive raspy sound to it, similar in vein to that of Pink and Amy Winehouse.[328][329][99] On "Party in the U.S.A." (2009), her vocals feature belterrefrains,[330] while those on the song "Obsessed" (2009) are described as "husky".[331] Releases such as "The Climb" (2009) and "These Four Walls" (2008) feature elements of country music and showcase Cyrus's "twangy vocals".[332] Cyrus experimented with an electropop sound on "Fly on the Wall" (2008), a genre that she would explore further with the release of Can't Be Tamed (2010), her third studio album.[333] It was initially intended to feature rock elements prior to its completion,[334] and Cyrus claimed after its release that it could be her final pop album.[335] The album's songs speak of Cyrus's desire to achieve freedom in both her personal and professional life.[335] She began working on Bangerz (2013) during a musical hiatus, and described the record as having a "dirty south feel" prior to its release.[336] Critics noted the use of hip hop and synthpop on the album.[337] The album's songs are placed in chronological order telling the story of her failed relationship with Liam Hemsworth.[338] Cyrus described Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) as "a little psychedelic, but still in that pop world".[156] For her rock-influenced album, Plastic Hearts, Cyrus cited Britney Spears and Metallica as major influences.[339] Inspired by pop and dance-pop, Endless Summer Vacation (2023) "feels like a recap of her career's 15-plus years, with Cyrus breezing through genres with the ease of a well-seasoned tourist."[340] Cyrus related its overall concept to her affection for Los Angeles.
Stage performances

Cyrus's controversial musical performances have received significant media attention, including on her Bangerz Tour (2014) and Milky Milky Milk Tour (2015).[341] Her performance of "Party in the U.S.A." at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards sparked a "national uproar" because of her outfit and perceived pole dancing.[342][343] She faced similar controversy over her performance of "Can't Be Tamed" (2010) on Britain's Got Talent, where the singer pretended to kiss one of her female backup dancers onstage;[344] she defended the performance, arguing that she did nothing wrong.[344]
Cyrus became the subject of media and public scrutiny following her performance of "We Can't Stop" (2013) and "Blurred Lines" (2013) with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Clad in a flesh-colored latex two-piece, she touched Thicke's crotch area with a giant foam finger and twerked against his crotch.[345] The performance resulted in a media frenzy; one reviewer likened the performance to a "bad acid trip",[133] while another described it as a "trainwreck in the classic sense of the word as the audience reaction seemed to be a mix of confusion, dismay and horror in a cocktail of embarrassment".[346] Cyrus entered the stage of her Bangerz Tour by sliding down a slide in the shape of a tongue, and draw media attention during the tour for her unique outfits and racy performances.[347]
In the early years of her career, Cyrus had a generally wholesome image as a teen idol.[348] Her fame increased dramatically in the wake of the Vanity Fair photo scandal in 2008, and it was reported that photographs of Cyrus could be sold to photo agencies for up to $2,000 per photo.[348] In subsequent years, her image continued to shift dramatically from her teen idol status.[348] In 2008, Donny Osmond wrote of Cyrus's imminent transition to adulthood: "Miley will have to face adulthood... As she does, she'll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity."[349] The release of her 2010 album Can't Be Tamed saw Cyrus officially attempting to distance herself from her teenage persona by releasing controversial music videos for her songs "Can't Be Tamed" and "Who Owns My Heart".[350][351] Her behavior throughout 2013 and 2014 sparked a substantial amount of controversy, although her godmother Dolly Parton said "...the girl can write. The girl can sing. The girl is smart. And she doesn't have to be so drastic. But I will respect her choices. I did it my way, so why can't she do it her way?"[352] Liel Leibovitz at Tablet noted in 2013: "Talking to the website Hunger, the singer argued that those adults who deem her gyrations too sultry and her music too saccharine were simply too ancient—and Jewish—to get it. 'With magazines, with movies, it's always weird when things are targeted for young people yet they're driven by people that are like 40 years too old', Cyrus opined. And one group stands out in [her] mind as deserving of most of the blame: 'It can't be like this 70-year-old Jewish man that doesn’t leave his desk all day, telling me what the clubs want to hear.'"[353]
Cyrus was ranked number 17 on Forbes's list of the most powerful celebrities in 2014; the magazine notes that "The last time she made our list was when she was still rolling in Hannah Montana money. Now the pop singer is all grown up and courting controversy at every turn."[354] In August 2014, her life was documented in a comic book titled Fame: Miley Cyrus; it begins with her controversial 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance and covers her Disney fame as well as exploring her childhood in Tennessee.[355] The comic book was written by Michael L. Frizell, drawn by Juan Luis Rincón, and is available in both print and digital formats.[356] In September 2010, Cyrus placed tenth on Billboard's first-ever edition of its 21 Under 21 listicle;[357] she was ranked twenty-first in 2011[358] and eighteenth in 2012.[359] In 2013, Maxim listed Cyrus as number one on their annual Hot 100 list.[360] Cyrus was chosen by Time magazine as one of the finalists for Person of the Year in November 2013;[361] she came in third place with 16.3% of the staff vote.[362] In March 2014, Skidmore College in New York began to offer a special topics sociology course entitled "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media" which was "using Miley as a lens through which to explore sociological thinking about identity, entertainment, media and fame".[363] In 2015, Cyrus was listed as one of the nine runners-up for The Advocate's Person of the Year.[364] In March 2024, to commemorate the 65th anniversary of International Women's Day, Cyrus was one of a number of celebrities who had their likeness turned into Bratz doll.[365]
Personal life
Cyrus currently resides in Hidden Hills, California, and also owns a $5.8 million home in her hometown of Franklin.[366][367] While Cyrus was raised as a Christian and identified herself as such during her childhood and early adult life,[24] she includes references to Tibetan Buddhism in the lyrics to her song "Milky Milky Milk" (2015)[368] and is also influenced by Hindu beliefs.[369]
Cyrus came out to her mother at age 14[372][373][374] and has said: "I never want to label myself! I am ready to love anyone that loves me for who I am! I am open."[375] In June 2015, Time magazine reported she is gender fluid.[376][373][374][375] She was quoted as stating she "doesn't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl."[372] Cyrus stated she is "literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age".[372]
Cyrus is a supporter of the LGBT community.[377] Her song "My Heart Beats for Love" (2010) was written for one of Cyrus's gay friends,[378] while she has since claimed London to be her favorite place to perform due to its extensive gay scene.[379] Cyrus also has an equals sign tattooed on her ring finger in support of same-sex marriage.[380] After her 2018 marriage to a man, Cyrus went on the record to state she still identified as queer.[381] She founded the Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014, which works to "Fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations".[382]
Veganism
Cyrus became a vegan and stopped eating animal products in 2014.[383] In September 2020, Cyrus revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience that she had to switch to a pescatarian diet after suffering from omega-3 deficiency, saying "I've been a vegan for a very long time and I had to introduce fish and omegas into my life because my brain wasn't functioning properly."[383] Cyrus further revealed that she cried when eating her first fish after her vegan diet, saying "I cried for the fish ... it really hurts me to eat fish."[384] Her decision to quit being vegan sparked backlash from people in the vegan and vegetarian community, who accused Cyrus of "spreading misinformation about omega-3" and "abandoning her vegan diet".[385]
Cannabis use
Cyrus has been open about her recreational use of cannabis.[386][387] She told Rolling Stone in 2013 that it was "the best drug on earth" and called it, along with MDMA, a "happy drug".[388] While accepting the Best Video Award at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, Cyrus appeared to smoke a joint onstage; this was removed from the delayed broadcast of the show in the United States.[389] In a 2014 interview with W magazine, Cyrus stated "I love weed" and "I just love getting stoned."[390] In a 2017 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Cyrus said that she had quit cannabis before the press tour for her Younger Now album so she could be "super clear" when discussing the record.[391] In May 2018, she told Jimmy Kimmel that, "I also think it's the most magical, amazing... it's my first and true love. It's just not for me right now at this time in my life, but I'm sure there will be a day I will happily indulge."[392] During a December 2018 interview with Andy Cohen, she credited her mother for reintroducing her to cannabis.[393] In 2019, Cyrus sent "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" collaborator Mark Ronson a cannabis bouquet from Lowell Herb Co as a tongue-in-cheek Valentine's Day gift.[394] She invested in the cannabis company in August.[395]
Before and shortly after vocal cord surgery in November 2019, Cyrus stated that she had stayed sober from the use of cannabis and alcohol.[396][397][398][399][400]
Relationships
Cyrus has said that she dated singer-actor Nick Jonas from June 2006 to December 2007,[401] claiming they were "in love" and began dating soon after they first met.[402] Their relationship attracted considerable media attention.[403] Cyrus was in a nine-month relationship with model Justin Gaston from 2008 to 2009.[404] While filming The Last Song, Cyrus began an on-again, off-again relationship with her co-star Liam Hemsworth in 2009.[405] During the breakups, Cyrus was romantically linked to actors Lucas Till (2009) and Josh Bowman (2011).[406] Cyrus and Hemsworth were first engaged from May 2012 until September 2013.[407][408] She has also dated actor Patrick Schwarzenegger (2014–2015) and model Stella Maxwell (2015).[409][405][410]
Cyrus and Hemsworth rekindled their relationship in March 2016,[411][412] and became re-engaged that October.[413] In November 2018, Cyrus and Hemsworth's home burned down in the Woolsey Fire in California.[414][415] On December 23, Cyrus and Hemsworth married in a private wedding ceremony in their home in Nashville.[416] She felt that her marriage "[redefined] what it looks like for someone that's a queer person like [herself] to be in a hetero relationship" though she was "still very sexually attracted to women". Cyrus indicated that the ceremony was "kind of out of character for [her]" because "[they have] worn rings forever [and] definitely didn't need it in any way". She believed the loss of their home to be the catalyst for getting married, citing that "the timing felt right" and that "no one is promised the next day, or the next, so [she tries] to be 'in the now' as much as possible".[417] On August 10, 2019, Cyrus announced their separation;[418] eleven days later, Hemsworth filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences",[419] and their divorce was finalized on January 28, 2020.[420]
After announcing her separation from Hemsworth, she dated Kaitlynn Carter from August to September 2019.[421][422][423] In October 2019, Cyrus began dating Australian singer Cody Simpson, a longtime friend.[424] In August 2020, Cyrus announced that she and Simpson had split up.[425] Her announcement coincided with the release of her single "Midnight Sky", which was inspired by her breakups with Hemsworth, Carter, and Simpson.[426][427][428] Cyrus began dating musician Maxx Morando in 2021, who also worked as a producer on her album Endless Summer Vacation (2023).[429][430]
Cyrus performing at the Kids Inaugural: We Are the Future concert in 2009
In January 2011, Cyrus met an ailing fan with spina bifida with the charity Kids Wish Network.[458] In April 2011, she appeared in a commercial for the American Red Cross asking people to pledge $10 to help those affected by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[459] That same year, Hilary Duff presented Cyrus with the first-ever Global Action Youth Leadership Award at the first Annual Global Action Awards Gala for her support of Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that works to feed hungry children in schools, and her personal Get Ur Good On campaign with the Youth Services of America. Cyrus stated: "I want (kids) to do something they love. Not something that seems like a chore because someone tells them that's the right thing to do or what their parents want or what's important to people around them, but what's in their heart."[460][461] In December 2011, she appeared in a commercial for the charity J/P Haitian Relief Organization, and teamed up with her elder brother Trace Cyrus to design a limited-edition T-shirt and hoodie for charity. All proceeds from the sale of these items went to her charity, Get Ur Good On, which supports education for under-privileged children.[462][463] That month, she performed "The Climb" at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.[464]
At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Cyrus won Video of the Year for her song Wrecking Ball. Instead of accepting the award herself, she invited a 22-year-old homeless man by the name of Jesse to collect it on her behalf; she had met him at My Friend's Place, an organization that helps homeless youth find shelter, work, health care, and education. His acceptance speech urged musicians to learn more about youth homelessness in Los Angeles through Cyrus's Facebook page.[475] Cyrus then launched a Prizeo campaign to raise funds for the charity; those who made donations were entered into a sweepstake for a chance to meet Cyrus on her Bangerz Tour in Rio de Janeiro that September.[476] In early 2015, Cyrus teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to launch her own branded Viva Glam lipstick, with proceeds to the Mac AIDS Fund.[477]

Cyrus is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which works to "fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth, and other vulnerable populations".[382] From 2014 to 2016 the foundation served nearly 1,500 homeless youth in Los Angeles, reached more than 25,000 LGBTQ youth and their families with resources about gender, and provided social services to transgender individuals, youth in conflict zones, and people affected by crises.[484] Happy Hippie encourages Cyrus's fans to support causes including gender equality, LGBTQ rights and mental health through awareness campaigns and fundraising. Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Happy Hippie encouraged its Instagram followers to seek out VoteRiders for assistance ensuring that gender identity would not affect their right to vote.
On June 15, 2015, Cyrus launched the campaign #InstaPride[485] in collaboration with Instagram. The campaign features a series of portraits starring transgender and gender-expansive people, which were posted to her Instagram feed with the hashtags "#HappyHippiePresents" and "#InstaPride". It stated that it was aimed at encouraging diversity and tolerance by showing these people in a positive light as examples for others who might be struggling to figure themselves out, and as a reference point for people who didn't know personally anyone in that situation. Cyrus was behind the camera for the entire photoshoot, and interviewed her 14 subjects to share their personal stories. She said she wanted to bring attention to and celebrate people who would not normally find themselves being the stars of a photoshoot or portrayed on the cover of a magazine.[486]
Following the loss of Miley and Hemsworth's Malibu home from the Woolsey Fire, the community and they launched the Malibu Foundation for relief efforts following the 2018 California wildfires,[487] Miley's Happy Hippie Foundation donating $500,000 to the Malibu Foundation.[488][489]
In 2024 Cyrus announced that the foundation would be renamed as Miley Cyrus Foundation.[490]
Cultural impact and status
Cyrus has been compared to the "Queen of Pop", Madonna, being considered by many as the "Madonna of her generation".[491]
Cyrus's early success as a teen idol and the face of Disney Channel's billion-dollar franchise Hannah Montana[492] played an important role in shaping the 2000s teen pop culture, earning her the honorific nickname of "Teen Queen".[493][494][495] Bickford stated Hannah Montana adopted a business model of combining celebrity acts with film, television, and popular music for a pre-adolescent audience. He called the series "genre-defining"[496] and likened this model to 1990steen pop artists such as Britney Spears and NSYNC, who were also marketed to children.[496] Morgan Genevieve Blue of Feminist Media Studies stated the series' primary female characters, Miley and her alter ego Hannah, are positioned as post-feminist subjects in a way their representation is confined to notions of femininity and consumerism.[497]The Times journalist Craig McLean named Cyrus the "world's biggest-ever teenage star".[498]
During the Best of Both Worlds Tour, tickets were sold out in minutes and stadiums were completely filled making it the highest-grossing concert tour for a new act in 2007 and 2008.[499] According to Billboard boxscore,[500] the Best of Both Worlds Tour had a total attendance of approximately one million people[501] and grossed over US$54 million, earning Cyrus the award for Breakthrough Act at the 2008 Billboard Touring Awards.[499] In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked Cyrus as one of the top 25 teen idol breakout moments of the rock era, which Andy Greene wrote: "Miley's rise was meteoric. Tickets to her 2007 Best of Both Worlds tour sold out faster than any tour in memory ... It seemed like she was poised to become a more stable version of Britney Spears – especially after singles 'The Climb' and 'Party In The USA'".[502] Due to her popularity, Paul McCartney compared their success to that of the Beatles in an interview during his tour in 2011. In this regard, he commented: "I think when they have new sensations, like Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber, teenagers identify with them, in the same way that the boys identified with The Beatles, [...] when you have thousands of teenagers feeling the same, they become elated because they have this love for something in common, whether it is The Beatles, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, or whatever."[503][504]
Over the years, Cyrus's song "Party in the U.S.A." gained popularity in American culture on holidays and historic events. The song has re-entered the charts every Independence Day since its release. Following the death of Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011, a resurgence in popularity of the music video occurred. The official YouTube video was flooded with comments regarding the death of bin Laden and it was immediately deemed a celebratory anthem for the event.[505] In 2013, an online petition on the White House's "We the People" petitions website was urging then-president Barack Obama to change the U.S. national anthem from "The Star-Spangled Banner" to "Party in the U.S.A."[506][507] Following the 2020 presidential election, as major news outlets announced Democratic nominee Joe Biden the winner of the presidential race, on November 7, 2020, supporters in New York City started singing "Party in the U.S.A." at Times Square.[508]
Cyrus's album Bangerz (2013), along with its promotional events, is considered to be one of the most controversial moments in the 2010s wider popular culture and established Cyrus among the decade's most controversial figures.[509]Glamour writer Mickey Woods likened the promotional "era" for the album to those of Britney Spears's and Christina Aguilera's third and fourth studio albums Britney (2001) and Stripped (2002), respectively, adding that Cyrus's record "will probably be retrospectively deemed iconic, maybe even classic".[510]Billboard listed Bangerz as one of the best and most influential albums of the 2010s noting that "with this pivotal album release, Cyrus took control of her public persona, surprising less with her provocative antics than with her constant artistic evolution".[511] The album is considered a trendsetter in "weaving together urban and pop influences, what's most revered now is what it represented then" according to Lyndsey Havens.[512] Patrick Ryan of USA Today commented that Cyrus's collaborations with Mike Will Made It on the album contributed to his new-found prominence, stating that Mike Will Made It's position as an executive producer has helped him "[jump] to the forefront as an interesting character [...] in an era where a lot of producers have fallen behind the scenes again".[513]Vice described Cyrus as "the most punk rock musician out there right now" and that she is "spinning circles around every single pop star who is trying to be edgy right now".[514]MTV named Cyrus their Best Artist of 2013, and James Montgomery of MTV News elaborated on the network's decision that Cyrus "[declared] her independence and [dominated] the pop-culture landscape", adding that "she schooled—and shocked—us all in 2013, and did so on her own terms."[515]Billboard staff called Cyrus the "Most Talked About Pop Star" of 2013, and also recognized the controversial evolution of her career as the "Top Music Moment" of the year, elaborating that she was a "maelstrom that expanded and grazed nearly every aspect of pop culture in 2013".[516] The publication also ranked "We Can't Stop" as the best song of 2013 for being "one of the bolder musical choices in recent memory",[517] and as one of the songs that defined the 2010s decade.[512] The song's music video and Cyrus's controversial 2013 VMAs performance with Robin Thicke were declared as the 27th greatest music video and one of the most "defining" pop culture moments of the 2010s.[518][519]
In 2015, Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian published an article calling Cyrus the Madonna of her generation, saying that "she's a Disney survivor with a fluid approach to gender identity. And, like the old three-chord punks, she gives really good quote". According to Nicholson, Cyrus takes "the 90s Madonna approach to public sexuality: it's deliberately provocative, and crucially, it is not being served up for male consumption." Likewise, she defends Cyrus's controversial rebellion, highlighting that behind the character there is a human, talented and strong person who manages to connect with the public, just like the "Queen of Pop".[491] In November of the same year, Vulture ranked Cyrus number one on its "Disney and Nickelodeon Stars Gone Pop" listicle, writing that "no post-millennium child star [had] grown up as wildly, rapidly, or successfully as [Cyrus]" at the time.[520] Appearing at number eight on the 2021 revision of the ranking, the publication named her as one of the few child stars with a successful music career as an adult, calling her "the archetype for Disney 2.0 stars" who "picked up the child-star trap of getting pigeonholed and set it on fire".[521]Billboard cataloged the singer as one of the "Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Artists", occupying position thirty-one; she was on the ninth rank among female artists.[522] In 2017, the aforementioned magazine also published an article naming the singer a "Queer Superhero" for her philanthropic fight for the LGBTQ+ community.[523] In 2019, Billboard ranked her 62nd on its "Greatest of All Time Artists" chart,[524] and 55th on the 2010s decade-end chart of Top Artists, signifying the most successful acts of the decade.[525][526]
Due to her continual artistic reinventions, sonic and stylistic evolution, and versatility, Cyrus has been nicknamed the "Pop Chameleon" by media and various publications.[527][521] She has also been considered a pop icon by several publications,[528][529] with the BBC calling her "the ultimate 21st century pop star".[530] In 2023, The Hollywood Reporter named Cyrus as one of its "Platinum Players" in music.[531]Billboard included Cyrus in its "Greatest Pop Stars of 2023" listicle, naming her the "Comeback Artist of the Year". The magazine called her 2023 single "Flowers" the "biggest chart smash of her career" and noted that it "re-established [Cyrus] as one of pop's foremost hitmakers".[529] In 2024, at age 31, Cyrus became the youngest recipient of the Disney Legends award, for her outstanding contributions to the Walt Disney Company.[532] That year, she was ranked number 15 on Billboard's "Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century"; the magazine wrote that Cyrus has "endured as one of the century's most significant pop stars—because no matter what style she's trying out, at the end of the day, she's always still just being Miley".[533]
