Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Bad Ways ‘Hannah Montana’ Impacted Her Life

Miley Cyrus is opening up about the good and bad way Hannah Montana impacted her childhood and adult life.

The 28-year-old Midnight Sky singer was talking about her childhood and shot to stardom during an interview with Rolling Stone.

Cyrus said, “I had to evolve because Hannah was larger than life, larger than me. I felt like I was never going to amount to the success of Hannah Montana. That’s how Lil Nas X actually knew of my dad [Billy Ray Cyrus]. He grew up watching Hannah Montana and said, ‘I want to do a song with Robby Ray.”

She continued to explain, “That’s literally what happened. Being a young queer kid’s idol that could turn out to be a Lil Nas X and create a whole identity for themselves off being inspired from watching me growing up. Or I hear artists like Troye Sivan say he felt more comfortable with his sexuality when I came out with My Heart Beats for Love.

When my peers are having these experiences and accepting themselves because of something I demonstrated while they were a kid, that’s when I go, ‘S***, I f****** am Hannah Montana. Really, Hannah Montana was not a character. The concept of the show, it’s me.
