Miley Cyrus was born on November 23^rd 1992 as Destiny Hope Cyrus. She was born into a prospering life of fame and music. Billy Ray Cyrus, her father, is a well-known country music songwriter and actor. He is married to Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus, and they have three children together. Miley had a lot of musical influence growing up which unexpectedly sparked a lifetime of music and fame for her.

The young, vibrant star has gone from a Disney star to a popular singer songwriter with various kinds of music. She has been included in multiple movies and television shows. Starring in Hannah Montana from 2006 to 2010, her life was chaotic and sometimes tumultuous.  Miley Cyrus has been known as a well-rounded and very talented individual throughout her teenage years and young adulthood.

Miley has released six albums, including one live and one extended play. In 2014, her total album sales stood at about 15.9 million. The double album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus ended up reaching number one in the United States.  She performed many concerts following this album release, where half of the tracks were performed as Miley, and the other half was performed as Hannah Montana.

Hannah Montana: The Movie aired in 2009 with a soundtrack including the lead single “The Climb” which peaked within the top five in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and Norway. Following the major success of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus starred as a young rebellious girl named Ronnie in The Last Song with Liam Hemsworth. The Last Song is an intriguing story about love and difficulty with a father daughter relationship.

Following the filming and premiere of The Last Song, Miley’s career took an interesting yet extreme turn. For many years, she was known for her Disney reputation and being one of the most famous teen pop stars in the world. “Can’t Be Tamed” was released and sparked a controversy with Miley’s fans and entertainment news throughout America. The song was unlike anything she had produced before, along with the wild, scandalous music video. Miley received an abundant amount of criticism for her new look and music. She went from many different shades of medium and long brown hair, to a short blonde pixie cut. Her clothes changed drastically during her concerts and all around general wardrobe. She wore a lot of short clothes and she enjoyed the image as a twerk star during this transformation.

As time went on, more fans accepted Miley’s new appearance and personality. Her new look was scandalous and unique. Throughout these few years, she struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. Things became very conflicting and she started to question her new life of carelessness and a promiscuous representation of herself.

Around this past May, the young Disney channel star came to the realization she did not want to interact with weed or alcohol anymore. She is gradually transforming into the calm, caring, country star she was born to be. This has brought up many questions on if this is a permanent change from Miley.

It has been a steady and prospering time for Miley the past four to five months. She admits to Billboard Magazine that she wants to have a clear mind at all times. Miley mentions how she wants to surround herself with similar people with the same intentions. She also explains how since she has become sober, she has fallen back in love with Liam Hemsworth. The couple became engaged in October of 2016 and have been off and on for eight years. Miley expresses constantly how things feel right the second time around.

Her music is becoming a blend of pop and country with a mellow feel. A lot of her songs are about the past and how she has changed unexpectedly, but for the better. Things seem to be looking up for the young woman and her love life along with her passion for music.
