Did Miley Cyrus Feel Prepared for Fame Upon Her Initial Success?

Los Angeles, June 1 (NationPress) Pop sensation and actress Miley Cyrus experienced significant fame during her teenage years when she landed the lead role in the sitcom 'Hannah Montana'. Yet, she revealed that she has always possessed an insightful grasp of the celebrity industry.

"I have been acquainted with fame since birth; it has always been my reality. Therefore, I was somewhat equipped to handle the complexities that fame entails," shared the daughter of the 'Achy Breaky Heart' star Billy Ray Cyrus and the goddaughter of country music icon Dolly Parton during an appearance on The New York Times' The Interview podcast.

She elaborated: "I already had the blueprint because my father, Dolly, and others in my circle experienced similar journeys. Dolly exemplifies this perfectly, which instilled in me a clear understanding of the industry I belong to. I engage in the music sector, specifically the record business.

"Whenever I enter into a contract, they are essentially purchasing albums they aim to sell, so I realize I am positioning myself to become a product. I am pledging to not only achieve success for myself but to assist them as well. Hence, I truly comprehend the music industry," stated the 'Flowers' singer.

Recently, she launched her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful', and in 2024, she finally received her first Grammy Award for her hit 'Flowers'. Though she spent years pondering how to attain such acknowledgment, she ultimately decided that the recognition she yearned for came from her millions of global fans, according to reports from femalefirst.co.uk.

She noted: "There were other Disney stars who excelled in those categories. I can't recall others, but I know The Jonas Brothers had an advantage because they weren't burdened with a character to outgrow, unlike me, who wore a wig while being a pop star…"

"I vividly recall feeling devastated when The Jonas Brothers were invited to perform with Stevie Wonder, while I never had a similar opportunity as a young girl.

"My show had been running for several years, and I had featured icons like Dolly Parton and Vicki Lawrence, who imparted invaluable lessons. In hindsight, it was a true blessing that I didn't receive those awards sooner because I was constantly recognized by millions.

"People's identities were influenced by my work. A piece of them is a fragment of me. I cherish that the love from my audience became my reward. Their affection brings me joy. Naturally, it stung every year to not hear my name called, especially after putting in so much effort.

"I'm not claiming I deserved the accolades, but I often wondered, 'What am I missing?' It felt like a mathematical equation that I was failing to solve for validation."
