Mumbai, Sep 23 (NationPress) Pop star Miley Cyrus disclosed that the legendary country music star and her godmother Dolly Parton has played a pivotal role in helping her navigate the periods of devastation and grief throughout her life’s toughest challenges.
Cyrus expressed, "During the fires, amidst such destruction and sorrow, I always thought of Dolly Parton. Her music and unique ability to uplift spirits have been like medicine during those hard times."
“She continually reminds me that traumatic moments aren’t reasons to retreat or surrender as performers. It’s our responsibility—one of the core reasons we chose this path—to be a beacon of joy and motivation during challenging times,” Cyrus shared with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book.
The ‘Flowers’ singer further noted, "Naturally, it’s a delicate matter. There’s a fine line, and even some debate, regarding how one should react in such situations. However, I believe our response truly mirrored our identities as artists."
Additionally, Cyrus admitted to being "not a very consistent person," according to reports by femalefirst.co.uk.
The pop sensation wishes she could exhibit more consistency in her decision-making.
Cyrus, who was wed to actor Liam Hemsworth from 2018 to 2020, remarked, "I’m not someone who embodies consistency. I’ve always looked up to, and even felt a tinge of jealousy towards, those who possess the talent of being consistent, which I lack. Some individuals are naturally endowed with a strong sense of self and identity."
“Although I had immense confidence, I lacked the constants in my life. So, I decided to view this as something beautiful rather than a flaw that needed fixing.”
She added, "At times, when I listen to my music, it may seem scattered, but to me, there’s a profound understanding in it owing to my detachment from any single sound or genre. Each emotion I experience at that moment is brought to life, only to fade with the next track."
