When reflecting on the intense Miley Cyrus child stardom era, it’s pretty clear the 33-year-old superstar has been through it all. From her tween days carrying the entire Disney Channel on her back to her rebellious Bangerz phase, Miley has spent more than half her life in the glaring spotlight. A podcast clip is now drawing attention for an exchange between Miley and her mom, Tish Cyrus, in which Miley called her mom out directly.
The Heavy Pressure Of The Miley Cyrus Child Stardom Era
We all know the origin story: Miley shot to international fame playing the titular pop star on Hannah Montana at just 13 years old. The show wasn’t just a hit; it was a global phenomenon that turned her into the most famous teenager on the planet by the time the series wrapped in 2011. But navigating the messy, complicated reality of Miley Cyrus child stardom meant she faced an excruciating amount of public scrutiny.
When she eventually tried to shed her Disney-fied, good-girl image, the media heavily vilified her. Because of that intense pressure cooker of fame, it makes sense that Miley has some strong boundaries about whether she’d ever want her own future kids to enter the entertainment industry.
