The life of Miley Cyrus changed radically in just a couple of years. The period of time that passed between the fire that destroyed his house (and his new, unreleased record project) and her separation from his partner. All of this led to a new vision of his professional work, a new studio album based on that breakup and an overwhelming success that has supported her new philosophy of life.
“Something I wanted to talk about is celebration versus competition. Because competition doesn’t really interest me. I don’t think of other artists as opponents. Artists are not the same as athletes, playing a zero-sum game and keeping score. There is no score in art” explains the American soloist about her perception of the music industry.
The singer confirms that she enjoys this new stage and that she continues to work to improve: “My mantra is, like any athlete, ‘practice how you act’. That’s why I practice in my heels. The gym seems very hard, but then I have my Gucci slingbacks ivory because they remind me of Marilyn Monroe. I train in heels, mostly. I’m interested in feminizing the workout space, because a lot of the workout gear is ugly. For our annual Pop issue, the superstar opens up about embracing adulthood, her. close friendship with Beyoncé, and what it really means to be a mother.”
The most recent Grammy Awards was the culmination of his innate talent and his effort to improve. Miley Cyrus triumphed at the awards but her rallying cry was not one of victory but of freedom: “Anyone who has ever put themselves in a position to be watched or judged is brave. It doesn’t matter if it’s eight or eight million people—the Fear is there. Before I went on stage at the Grammys, just as the curtain was about to rise, I was screaming at the top of my lungs: ‘I’m free! When I was 20 or 21, it might have sounded more like, ‘No! I don’t give a shit what people think.”
The reward for her is not success but music: “There’s no shade, but I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve been taken seriously at the Grammys. It’s been difficult for me to determine what the measure is. , because if we want to talk about statistics and numbers, where the fuck was I? And if you want to talk about the impact on culture, where the fuck was I? It’s not about arrogance. I’m proud of myself.

Miley has also talked about her years of friendship with Beyoncé: “I wrote that song about two and a half years ago. When Beyoncé talked to me about music, I thought about it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. I said, ‘We don’t have to go country, we are country. We’ve been country.’ I said , ‘You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, a lot of us are going to be on this song.’ Being able to write a song, not just sing with Beyoncé, was a dream come true.”

“I think it’s a really nice part of our relationship, because in the last few years, I’ve really restricted my privacy and what I share with the public. She’s the same way. Part of our relationship is the security between us,” she said. explained the soloist about II Most Wanted.
