"I like being an adult." Miley Cyrus gave an interview to W magazine and starred in an unusual image

Singer Miley Cyrus appeared on the cover of W magazine in an unusual look and said that she felt like she was being taken seriously for the first time at the Grammy Awards, although she has been building a career for 20 years.

Now Miley Cyrus is 31 years old, she began her career as a child: she received her first role at the age of 11. Then she played the eight-year-old girl Ruthie in Tim Burton's tragicomedy Big Fish, and at the age of 13 she was cast for the role of Hannah Montana at Disney. At first she was looked at solely as the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, then as a defender of female sexuality. Miley Cyrus herself says she's "finally, without a shadow of a doubt, getting respect in the industry": "But I've been doing this for 20 years, and this is the first time I've been taken seriously at the Grammys? It was hard for me to understand what was being measured here." , because if we want to talk about statistics and numbers, then where the ***** (damn) was I? And if you want to talk about the impact on culture, then where the ***** (damn) was I? Me? It's not about arrogance. I'm proud of myself."

On February 5, 2024, Miley Cyrus received her first Grammy in her career in the category “Best Pop Solo Performance” for the track Flowers, which was included in the album Endless Summer Vacation. She came to the ceremony in a dress made of Maison Margiela pins.

Miley Cyrus called her experience working at Disney excellent and safe and recalled that she had been in public most of her life - out of 31 years, already 20: “They say that an artistic adult is a child who survived. As a child, I worked a lot. "I didn't go to prom. I didn't go to dances. I didn't have that much social experience or time for friends. Disney made a lot of money off of me when I was a kid. I don't have any bad feelings about it." In addition, she stated that she does not think about competition between artists, because this is not a sport and there is no score in art.

According to Miley Cyrus, recently she has completely stepped out of the usual public image: “I definitely have a part of my personality - an expanded, fully realized version of myself that I use as a singer. But there is also a level of my life that is very intimate, sacred and secret. Sometimes I forget to talk about things that are a normal part of my daily life, like texting Beyoncé. I think this is a very sweet part of our relationship because over the past couple of years I have really limited my personal life and. what I share with the public. She is the same."

Miley Cyrus could be seen much more often at photo shoots in the image of a rebel: she almost always posed with her tongue hanging out, at some point it practically became her calling card.

Miley Cyrus also said that she leads an exclusively sober lifestyle, and does all her workouts in heels - because she performs the same way on stage: “The gym looks very cool, but then I put on my ivory Gucci shoes because they look like me about Marilyn Monroe. Mostly I train in heels."

She said she loves being an adult now: "I have a rule: I don't look up or down at anyone. I just look, and it allows me to see the world as it really is, and people - as they are. I look at myself in the mirror almost every day and say: “I am a woman.” I’m already 31 years old, and I still don’t know whether I want children or not. in a way, they are my children."

In the summer of 2009, during the filming of the melodrama “The Last Song,” Miley Cyrus began dating Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. This relationship was unstable: they came together, then diverged, they were engaged in May 2012, but broke up in September 2013. In March 2016, they resumed their relationship and got engaged in October of the same year, and got married in December. The marriage lasted until 2019; Liam Hemsworth filed for divorce.
