Los Angeles, Oct 3 (NationPress) Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus believes she was the very first individual in history to experience being canceled.

The 32-year-old artist gained fame through the children's program Hannah Montana, but after departing from her wholesome image, she faced significant backlash as she adopted a more provocative persona to advance her music career, as reported by Female First UK.

Miley described the public's reaction to her transformation as harsh and claims she was a pioneer victim of cancel culture.

During an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, she stated, "I might have been the first person to ever be canceled, I suppose. It wasn't until later in life that I grasped how brutal it truly was. While it was challenging for many, I found it to be a good time. It was fun and exciting, and I didn't recognize the severity of the backlash until I matured."

In a teaser from the interview shared on social media, she reflected, "I wouldn't have been able to see things from the perspective I have now if I looked back at my 20s. At that moment, it was incredible."

According to Female First UK, her comments follow a recent admission that she's unafraid to step away from the entertainment scene, a decision stemming from choices made during her childhood.

In a conversation with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, she elaborated, "I'm constantly redesigning and reimagining. Just the other night, I found myself lying in bed, reflecting, 'Wow, I jumped on a train at 11 and have never gotten off.' I committed deeply at a young age and never questioned it. It wasn't until my late 20s and early 30s that I began to ask myself, 'Is this still what I want?' So far, the answer has been yes, but I’m not afraid of the day it might change. I don't know if that day will come - when my passion for this fades."

She also shared that despite her fame and success, she has grown to appreciate simple aspects of life.
