A Trip Down Memory Lane
Miley Cyrus kicked off her TikTok series by promising to “start at the beginning” of her life story, dating back to 1992. She aims to offer new details about some of her most memorable moments, including her time as Hannah Montana. Cyrus expressed that her life didn’t just start with her Disney character; there was a Miley before Hannah.
Family Ties: The Cyrus Legacy
In one of the first videos of the series, Cyrus opened up about her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, who had the No. 1 country song in 1992, the year she was born. She reflected on how her upbringing, surrounded by fame and financial stability, differed significantly from her father’s less privileged background.
Controversies and Regrets
The series also touches on Cyrus’s public feuds and controversies, including her very public feud with the late Sinéad O’Connor. Cyrus expressed regret over her past actions, admitting she had “no idea about the fragile mental state” that O’Connor was in at the time. She was only 20 years old when the feud occurred, and her understanding of mental health was limited.
The Power of Vulnerability
Cyrus’s TikTok series comes at a time when she’s also in storytelling mode with her new Hulu special, “Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions).” In both platforms, she’s embracing vulnerability, sharing insights into her life, and addressing past controversies, making it a transformative period for her.
Miley Cyrus’s new TikTok series is more than just a promotional stunt for her latest single; it’s a deep dive into the life of one of pop culture’s most enigmatic figures. From her early days as a child star to her complex relationship with her father and her public controversies, Cyrus is laying it all bare. As she navigates this new chapter of openness, the world will be watching, eager to learn more about the woman behind the headlines.
