Miley Cyrus said her life “changed forever” after that now infamous performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV VMAs.
At the time, Cyrus was still best known for being a Disney star trying to shed her clean cut image, which she did overnight with a controversial turn on stage.
And so began the rebellious, weed smoking, scantily clad phase of her career, before eventually packing it in last year and and adopting a more mainstream pop persona.
“Not only was culture changed, but my life and career were changed forever…It inspired me to use my platform for something much bigger,”she told Wonderland magazine.
But where did this all start ?
In June of 2010 Can’t Be Tamed The evolution of Miley Cyrus was officially well underway after the singer released her single “Can’t Be Tamed.” The edgy video featured Miley transforming into a rare species of wild pop star bird that can’t be caged. “I think it definitely shows a change of what people remember me as, but it’s not trying to not be me,” she told MTV news.
Then in December that year Cyrus made headlines after a video of the star allegedly taking a bong hit and subsequently having what she described as “a little bit of a bad trip” appeared on the web around the time of Miley’s 18th birthday. While Camp Cyrus claimed the substance she was inhaling was salvia (a legal hallucinogen in the state of California), Miley still issued an apology for the viral video, which was reportedly leaked by her pal. “I’m not perfect…I made a mistake…I’m disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans”.
The Penis Cake…
The singer surprised her than fiancé Liam Hemsworth with an X-rated treat for his birthday: a cake shaped like a penis. While the racy cake was most likely a lighthearted joke in honor of Miley’s man, the actress apparently felt the need to pose with the penis-shaped treat a number of times with various angles. Of course, the suggestive pics were splashed all over TMZ.
The Chop
September 2012 The “We Can’t Stop” singer shocked the world once again when she chopped off her famous locks, opting for an edgy supershort ‘do, which created an endless amount of criticism. The pop star’s fashion also underwent an extreme transformation after her famous haircut, but she continues to defend her new look. “I’m going to change, I’m going to be different, I’m going to do what I want to do,” she told V magazine in a racy spread. “I chopped my hair and bought a pair of Docs and never looked back.” She once said “If you mixed white trash and Chanel, that’s me,” she told MTV. “That’s my ultimate look.”
June 2013 She dropped her “We Can’t Stop” Music Video Miley fully unveiled her scandalous side when she released the video for her single “We Can’t Stop.” The mind blowing but iconic music video features the singer twerking with teddy bears, shaking her butt for the camera and spanking her pals’ rear-ends, all while sporting equally-shocking attire. Safe to say the gal’s grown up.
“All I’m gonna say is when I saw this music video for the first time I replayed about four times my poor iPod touch was Cyrus out”
August 25th 2013 It was the MTV VMA awards and that night a mega pop culture moment is about to happen and no one saw it coming.
Let’s all have a moment of silence in honor of Cyrus’ long-gone Disney image.
PS. Tbh Miley Cyrus will forever be the OG Disney Channel princess to me and honestly the Bangerz album she dropped that year is so good y’all need to listen to it
