In the whirlwind of the entertainment industry, it’s rare to find someone as vibrant, resilient, and unapologetically authentic as Miley Cyrus. From her humble beginnings on the Disney Channel to her metamorphosis into a pop powerhouse, Miley has navigated the treacherous waters of fame with a fearless spirit and a heart as big as her voice.
There’s always a “Party in the U.S.A.” when it comes to Miley Cyrus.
Since sky-rocketing to fame on the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana in 2006 when she was just 13 years old, Cyrus, who turned 32 on Nov. 23, has gifted us with many hit songs and even more headline-making pop culture moments. Who can forget her infamous twerking at the 2013 MTV VMAs? Or when she hilariously got TopMob News to change its Instagram bio to “We’re sorry for all the s**t we said about Miley Cyrus” in 2020.
Hey, “Nobody’s Perfect.”
Instead of purchasing flowers herself, it’s likely that she’s been showered with them since she won multiple Grammys in February. Her hit song “Flowers” earned her both Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year awards.
She graciously accepted the award, expressing that it shouldn’t alter anything because her life was already wonderful yesterday. Even though receiving a Grammy isn’t attainable for everyone, she emphasized that everyone in the world is extraordinary, so please don’t consider this achievement as crucial as it may seem.
Despite having an opportunity to increase her collection in February, she is nominated with Beyoncé for “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” for “II Most Wanted.” However, the singer, who plans to release her visual album titled “Something Beautiful” next year, was excellent and valuable even without the recognition.
Cyrus’ perspective on life is that she doesn’t judge others by looking up or down, as she expressed in an interview with W Magazine this summer. This approach gives her the clarity to see the world for what it truly is and people for who they genuinely are. She often looks at herself in the mirror and says, “I am a woman.
To celebrate the superstar’s birthday, we’re sharing some fascinating facts about Cyrus that you may not have known before, such as who encouraged her to try out for “Hannah Montana” and which of her hit songs she dislikes. By the way, did you realize that Miley isn’t even her real name? Isn’t that a sweet surprise!
Forget “7 Things,” because we have 30 facts about Cyrus right here.
In 1992, she was born as Destiny Hope. Her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus, selected this name because, as he shared with Us Weekly, “She has a giving nature. She believes we are all here to help each other out. I’m very proud of her.” (Paraphrased version)
2. Frequently grinning as a young girl, her loved ones affectionately dubbed her “Smiley”. Over time, this became simplified to just “Miley”. In the year 2008, she officially adopted the name Miley Ray Cyrus in legal documents.
3. Her godmother is Dolly Parton, a person she became close with her father Billy Ray following their collaboration in the early 1990s.
In 2019, during an interview on SiriusXM’s Just Jenny, Dolly Parton explained that she and Miley Cyrus seemed to connect well because they both grew up in rural areas. They shared many laughs reminiscing about their shared experiences. Later, when Miley entered the scene, Parton declared, “She needs to be my goddaughter.” (Parton would later appear on Hannah Montana as the title character’s fairy godmother.)
4. After watching a performance of “Mamma Mia!” with her father, Miley realized she had a passion for entertainment. She excitedly told him, “This is what I want to do, Daddy. I want to become an actress,” which he later shared with the Toronto Star.
5. She made her acting debut on Billy Ray’s PAX TV series Doc.
When Miley was 11 years old, she auditioned for the Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana”. At first, the producers believed she was too young. However, after a thorough six-month search involving more than 1,000 actresses trying out for the role of the secret pop star, executives decided to reconsider Miley, who was now 12 years old.
In 2007, Gary Marsh, then president of Disney, shared with USA Today that she had left an impact on them. He recalled returning to his desk that night and penning a note to his team, “Either this is something extraordinary or it wasn’t our lucky day.” Looking back now, he said the wager has paid off in ways beyond his initial imagination.
7. In a 2020 interview with Hilary Duff on her Instagram Live program “Bright Minded,” Miley Cyrus confessed that the role of Lizzie McGuire inspired her to try out for the part of Hannah.
Miley expressed to Hilary, “The sole motivation behind my desire was to mimic your actions, not because I cared about acting or singing. In truth, I merely sought to follow in your footsteps, regardless of the circumstances.
8. The television series “Hannah Montana” debuted in March 2006 and soon climbed to become one of Disney Channel’s most successful shows ever, catapulting Miley Cyrus into one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood. By 2008, pictures of Miley taken by paparazzi were selling for sums ranging from $30,000 to $150,000 as reported by The Los Angeles Times.
9. On-screen, Miley and Emily Osment appeared as the best of friends, but Miley confessed that they had difficulties getting along during the initial two seasons.
In her 2009 memoir, Miles to Go, Miley acknowledged a rivalry between us – something many girls grapple with, and we were no exception. She admitted that she wished to resolve it but was unsure of the steps to take. She shared that she connected better with boys than with girls at the time. However, over time, they managed to become friends as they learned to understand each other’s sensitivity.
10. Following the conclusion of the series in 2011, and with the 2009 film adaptation “Hannah Montana: The Movie” released that same year, Miley Cyrus confessed she faced difficulties discovering her identity.
She explained to Howard Stern in 2020 that some members of her audience became deeply connected with a character who wasn’t her. This sparked feelings of self-doubt, such as questioning her own worth. She said the show’s premise was that no one cared about her when she looked like herself, but people went crazy over her once she changed her appearance with wigs and makeup. She felt it was a heavy burden for a young person to carry, being told that no one cares about you as yourself, only when you’re transformed into something else.
11. Miley found herself smitten the moment she encountered her first boyfriend, Nick Jonas, at a charity event in 2006, when they were both thirteen years old. As she shared with Seventeen in 2008, “We immediately became a couple the very day we met.” Nick was determined to meet her and expressed, “I think you’re stunning and I really admire you,” to which Miley reciprocated, “Oh, my goodness, I adore you so much!
Following a clandestine relationship, the couple parted ways, and Miley confessed she cried for an uninterrupted month following their separation. “Nick and I had strong feelings for one another,” she explained to the magazine. “We still do, but we were deeply in love with each other. Nick was practically always by my side for two years, but it proved challenging to conceal our relationship. We frequently quarreled, and it wasn’t enjoyable.
12. The bond between Miley and Nick spurred her to write her breakup song “7 Things,” where she donned the necklace he had gifted her in the music video for their 2008 hit. After a brief reconciliation in 2009, their fleeting reunion led to the creation of the Jonas Brothers ballad “Before the Storm,” which included Miley’s vocals.
In the year 2009, during the filming of “The Last Song“, Miley Cyrus started dating her co-star, Liam Hemsworth. Their relationship had its ups and downs for a period of ten years before they tied the knot in 2018. However, eight months later, Miley and Liam announced their separation, eventually finalizing their divorce in 2020.
14. Later on, Miley confessed that the emotional impact of their home in Malibu being destroyed by the 2018 California wildfires was what ultimately led her to marry the actor from “The Hunger Games” following a two-year engagement.
She shared on The Howard Stern Show in 2020 that they had been together since she was 16 years old. They experienced a devastating event when their house caught fire. Although they hadn’t officially engaged, the loss of their home in Malibu brought them closer together. She felt strongly about him and cherished their relationship, which only grew stronger after the fire. Her love for him remains deep and unwavering to this day.
15. In her 2020 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Miley discussed her initial romantic encounter, openly acknowledging that it was Liam, albeit indirectly referring to her former spouse.
She exclaimed, “It turned out I got married, which is quite surprising, isn’t it?” She admitted, “To make myself appear less inexperienced, I lied about having been with someone else before.
16. Not long after her breakup with Liam became public knowledge, Miley gained attention when she started a fast-moving relationship with The Hills: New Beginnings star, Kaitlynn Carter. However, the pair called it quits following two months together, with Kaitlynn acknowledging that the intense scrutiny of their romance by the public contributed to their separation.
She acknowledged on The Viall Files podcast in June 2020 that we had truly put in significant effort to maintain privacy, but ultimately circumstances dictate as they will. She added that going through a breakup under public scrutiny is extremely challenging…it can be quite brutal. However, there are also valuable lessons and growth opportunities that can stem from such experiences.
17. In the year 2016, Miley identified herself as pansexual, admitting to Variety magazine that she found it difficult to comprehend her gender and sexual orientation during her childhood years.
She shared that she’s never been fond of the term ‘bisexual,’ as it still seems to categorize her. She continued, “I don’t typically differentiate between someone being male or female. My nipple pasties and such have never felt sexualized to me. It wasn’t until around the fifth or sixth grade that my awareness began to grow. My first romantic relationship was with a woman. I hail from a deeply religious family in the South.
18. In 2017, Miley claimed she was the inspiration for Katy Perry‘s hit song “I Kissed a Girl.”
Miley Cyrus shared that she was mentioned on the radio, and when asked who the song was about, she replied, “Me!” Upon hearing this, Miley excitedly reacted and began to get worked up.
19. Miley serves as the creator of the Happy Hippie Foundation, an organization dedicated to combating inequalities experienced by homeless teenagers, young adults identifying within the LGBTQ community, and other at-risk groups.
20. In her autobiography published in 2009, Miley Cyrus disclosed that she was born with tachycardia, a harmless health issue characterized by a heart rate significantly higher than usual.
She mentioned that the kind of rapid heart rate she experiences isn’t harmful to her. Although it doesn’t cause physical pain, it still bothers her. Furthermore, she constantly keeps her mind focused on her heart whenever she performs on stage.
For six years, I followed a vegan lifestyle, but due to some issues with my brain functioning, I decided to switch to a pescatarian diet in 2020 as I shared on The Joe Rogan Experience. My partner, Liam, prepared the first non-plant based meal I had in ages, which was fish, and I vividly remember it being the most emotional meal for me. Upon eating fish again, I cried profusely, feeling a deep sense of empathy for the fish as if it was causing me real pain.
22. Although “Party in the U.S.A.” is one of Miley’s biggest hits, the artist herself isn’t particularly fond of the popular tune. In a 2019 video, she admitted, “I really dislike it,” but added, “apparently, the public can’t get enough of it.
2013 saw a petition put up on the official “We the People” platform of the White House, proposing that President Barack Obama replace “The Star-Spangled Banner” with “Party in the U.S.A.” as our national anthem.
24. Originally slated to voice the 2021 animated film “Hotel Transylvania,” Miley announced in a 2019 tweet that she was let go due to her action of buying Liam a birthday cake shaped like a penis and licking it. (She was subsequently replaced by Selena Gomez, another former Disney star.)
In 2010, Miley Cyrus’ clean-cut Disney persona took a turn as a controversial video emerged showing her using a bong. This incident became well-known over time. Fast forward to ten years later, Miley humorously acknowledged the anniversary of this scandal on Instagram.
“Celebrating the 10-year mark for the groundbreaking video featuring a teen smoking a bong and talking nonsense to their companions, she posted.” (Regarding the director of this film, it’s debatable whether they should be considered a ‘companion’, but…)
26. (Paraphrased) In a tweet from 2019, Miley claimed that a bong incident led to losing a significant business partnership with Walmart when she was only 17, stating, “I missed out on a big Walmart contract at the age of 17 for using a bong.
27. Miley has 74 tattoos and got her first body art when she was 17.
28. For quite some time now, Miley has been candid about her struggles with sobriety, often sharing stories from her personal experiences, including a relapse she experienced during the pandemic.
In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music in 2020, she candidly admitted, “Just like many others, I stumbled,” she said. “I wouldn’t stand here and claim I’ve been completely sober all along, because I hadn’t. I had a slip-up, but now, two weeks into my sobriety, I feel I have truly embraced this period and am back on the path to abstinence.
She mentioned that she’s working on accepting certain situations, emphasizing, “I’ve found it helpful to say, ‘Instead of getting angry, get intrigued.’ In other words, try not to blame yourself, but question, ‘What took place?’
29. Miley shared that the passing of musicians such as Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain prompted her to reassess her connection with alcohol.
She stated, “For me, the year twenty-seven held significant importance as I had to prioritize my self-preservation. This realization sparked a desire in me to become sober, considering the numerous icons who have passed away at this age. It seems like a critical juncture where one embarks on a new chapter or reaches their peak. I believe some artists struggled with managing their own power, energy, and strength – it’s almost an overwhelming energy. Regardless of the circumstances, I was born with that.
30. During her flight from Colombia to Paraguay in March 2022, for the 2022 Asuncionico music festival, Miley’s plane needed an unexpected landing due to a lightning strike. Later on, she confessed that the experience left her feeling quite shaken up.
She shared with Seth Meyers that it was incredibly terrifying. At that moment, she found herself on her mother’s lap since she believed the seat belts wouldn’t make a difference in such a situation.
