Life and career

1992–2005: Early life and career beginnings

Destiny Hope Cyrus was born November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee,[9] to Leticia "Tish" Jean Finley and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Her parents married the year following her birth.[9] Cyrus was born with supraventricular tachycardia, a condition causing an abnormal resting heart rate.[10] Her birth name, Destiny Hope, expressed her parents' belief that she would accomplish great things. Her parents nicknamed her "Smiley", which they later shortened to "Miley", because she often smiled as an infant.[11] In 2008, she legally changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus; her middle name honors her grandfather, Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus from Kentucky.[12] Cyrus's godmother is entertainer Dolly Parton.[13]

Against the advice of her father's record company,[14] Cyrus' parents secretly married on December 28, 1993, a year after her birth.[15] They had two more children together, son Braison and daughter Noah.[16] From previous relationships, her mother has two other children, Brandi and Trace.[17] Her father's first child, Christopher Cody, was born in April 1992[15] and grew up with his mother, Kristin Luckey, in South Carolina.[14]

All of Cyrus' maternal siblings are established entertainers. Trace is a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro Station.[18] Noah is an actress and, along with Braison, models, singers, and songwriters.[19][20][21][22][23] Brandi was formerly a musician for the indie rock band Frank + Derol[24][25] and is a professional DJ. The Cyrus farmhouse is located on 500 acres of land outside Nashville, Tennessee.[26]

Cyrus attended Heritage Elementary School in Williamson County, when her family lived in Thompson's Station, Tennessee.[27] When she was cast in Hannah Montana, the family moved to Los Angeles, where she attended Options for Youth Charter Schools[28] and studied with a private tutor on set.[29] Raised Christian, she was baptized in a Southern Baptist church before moving to Hollywood in 2005.[30] She attended church regularly while growing up and wore a purity ring.[31] In 2001, when Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada while her father filmed the television series Doc.[32] After Billy Ray took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production of Mamma Mia! at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him, "This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress."[33] She began singing and acting lessons at the Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto.[34]

Cyrus' debut acting role was portraying a girl named Kylie in her father's television series Doc.[11] In 2003, Cyrus received credit under her birth name for her role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish.[35] During this period, she auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. Although she was one of two finalists for the role, she chose to appear in Hannah Montana instead.[36]

Her mother took on the role of Miley's manager and worked to acquire a team to build her daughter's career.[37] Cyrus signed with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty.[38] Gossett is often credited with "discovering" Cyrus and played a key role in her auditioning for Hannah Montana.[39] She later signed with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group to handle her music career, having been directed to him by Dolly Parton.[37] She hired her father's finance manager as part of her team.[37]

2006–2009: Hannah Montana and early musical releases

Cyrus auditioned for the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana when she was eleven years old.[40] She auditioned for the role of the title character's best friend, but was called to audition for the lead role instead.[40] Despite being denied the part at first because she was too "young and small" for the role,[41] she was selected later as the lead because of her singing and acting abilities.[42] The series premiered in March 2006 to the largest audience for a Disney Channel program[43] and quickly ranked among the highest-rated series on basic cable.[44] The success of the series led to Cyrus being labeled a "teen idol".[35][45] She toured with The Cheetah Girls as Hannah Montana in September 2006, performing songs from the show's first season.[46] Walt Disney Records released a soundtrack credited to Cyrus' character in October of that year.[47] The record was a commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 chart in the United States; it went on to sell over three million copies worldwide.[48] With the release of the soundtrack, Cyrus became the first act within The Walt Disney Company to have deals in television, film, consumer products, and music.[45]

Cyrus signed a four-album recording contract with Hollywood Records to distribute her non-Hannah Montana soundtrack music.[49] She released the two-disc album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus in June 2007.[50] The first disc was credited as the second soundtrack by "Hannah Montana", while the second disc served as Cyrus' debut studio album.[50] The album became her second to reach the top of the Billboard 200, and has sold over three million copies since its release.[51] Months after the release of the project, "See You Again" (2007) was released as the lead single from the album.[52] The song was a commercial success, and has sold over two million copies in the United States since its release.[53] She then collaborated with her father on the single "Ready, Set, Don't Go" (2007).[54] Cyrus embarked on her highly successful Best of Both Worlds Tour (2007–08) to promote its release.[55][56] Ticketmaster officials commented that "there [hadn't] been a demand of this level or intensity since The Beatles or Elvis".[57] The tour's success led to the theatrical release of the 3D concert film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008).[58] While initially intended to be a limited release, the film's success led to a longer run.[59]

Cyrus and friend Mandy Jiroux began posting videos on the popular website YouTube in February 2008, referring to the clips as "The Miley and Mandy Show"; the videos garnered a large online following.[60] In April 2008, several images of Cyrus in her underwear and swimsuit were leaked by a teenage hacker who accessed her Gmail account.[61][62] Further controversy arose when it was reported that Cyrus, then fifteen, had posed topless during a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.[63] The New York Times later clarified that although the pictures left the impression that she was bare-breasted, Cyrus was wrapped in a bed sheet and was not topless.[64]

Cyrus went on to release her second studio album, Breakout (2008), in June of that year.[65] The album earned the highest first-week sales of her career thus far and became her third to top the Billboard 200.[66][67] Cyrus later starred with John Travolta in the animated film Bolt (2008), her debut as a film actress; she also co-wrote the song "I Thought I Lost You" (2008) for this film, which she sings as a duet with Travolta.[68] The film was a critical and commercial success earning her a Golden Globe nomination.[69]

In March 2009, Cyrus released "The Climb" (2009) as a single from the soundtrack to the Hannah Montana feature film.[70] It was met with a warm critical and commercial reaction, becoming a crossover hit in both pop and country music formats.[71] The soundtrack, which features the single, went on to become Cyrus' fourth entry to top the Billboard 200; at sixteen, she became the youngest performer in history to have four number one albums on the chart.[72] She released her fourth soundtrack as Hannah Montana in July 2009, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.[73] Cyrus later launched her first fashion line, Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, through Walmart.[74] It was promoted by the release of "Party in the U.S.A." (2009) and the EP The Time of Our Lives (2009).[75][76] Cyrus said the album was "a transitioning album [...] really to introduce people to what I want my next record to sound like and with time I will be able to do that a little more".[76] "Party in the U.S.A." went on to become one of Cyrus' most successful singles to date, and is considered one of her signature songs.[77] She next embarked on her first world tour, the Wonder World Tour (2009), which was a critical and commercial success.[78] On December 7, 2009, Cyrus performed for Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, Lancashire.[79]

Billboard ranked her as the fourth best-selling female artist of 2009.[80]

2010–2012: Can't Be Tamed and focus on acting

Hoping to foster a more mature image, Cyrus starred in the film The Last Song (2010), based on the Nicholas Sparks novel.[81] It garnered a generally negative critical reviews[82] but was a box office hit.[83][84] Cyrus further attempted to shift her image with the release of her third studio album, Can't Be Tamed (2010).[85] The album featured a more dance-oriented sound than her prior releases and caused a considerable amount of controversy due to its lyrical content and Cyrus' live performances.[86][87][88][89] It sold 106,000 copies in its first week of release and became her first studio album not to top the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.[90] Due to the controversy surrounding the release, the album's second, and final single, "Who Owns My Heart" was released solely in select European territories. Cyrus released her final soundtrack as Hannah Montana that October; it was a commercial failure.

Artistry

Musical style and influences
Cyrus credits artists from Elvis Presley (left) to Madonna (right) as musical influences

Cyrus has cited Elvis Presley as her biggest inspiration.[206] She has also cited artists such as Madonna, Lana Del Rey, Dolly Parton, Timbaland, Joan Jett, Lil Kim, Shania Twain, Hanson, OneRepublic and Britney Spears as influences.[207][208][209][210][211][212][213] Since the beginning of her music career, Cyrus has been described as being predominantly a pop artist.[214] Her Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus debut studio effort was characterized as sounding similar to her releases as "Hannah Montana" featuring a pop-rock and bubblegum pop sound.[215][216] Cyrus hoped that the release of Breakout (2008) would help distance her from this sound; the record featured Cyrus experimenting with various genres.[217][218] Cyrus co-wrote eight songs for the album, and was quoted as saying: "I just hope this record showcases that, more than anything, I'm a writer."[67] The songs on her early releases feature lyrics on the topics of love and relationships.[214]

Cyrus possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range,[219] although her vocals were once described as alto,[220] with a "Nashville twang" in both her speaking and singing voice. Her voice has a distinctive raspy sound to it, similar in vein to that of Pink and Amy Winehouse[103] On "Party in the U.S.A." (2009), her vocals feature belter refrains,[221] while those on the song "Obsessed" (2009) are described as "husky".[222] Releases such as "The Climb" (2009) and "These Four Walls" (2008) feature elements of country music and showcase Cyrus' "twangy vocals".[223] Cyrus experimented with an electropop sound on "Fly on the Wall" (2008), a genre that she would explore further with the release of Can't Be Tamed (2010), her third studio album.[224] It was initially intended to feature rock music elements prior to its completion,[225] and Cyrus claimed after its release that it could be her final pop album.[226] The album's songs speak of Cyrus' desire to achieve freedom in both her personal life and her career.[226] She began working on Bangerz (2013) during a musical hiatus, and described the record as having a "dirty south feel" prior to its release.[227] Critics noted the use of hip hop music and synthpop in the album.[228] The album's songs are placed in chronological order telling the story of her failed relationship with Liam Hemsworth.[229] Cyrus described Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) as "a little psychedelic, but still in that pop world".[156]

Stage performances

Cyrus has become known for her controversial performances, most notably on her Bangerz Tour (2014) and Milky Milky Milk Tour (2015).[230] Her performance of "Party In the U.S.A." at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards sparked a "national uproar" because of her outfit and her perceived pole dancing.[231][232] She faced similar controversy following a performance of "Can't Be Tamed" (2010) on Britain's Got Talent, where she pretended to kiss one of her female dancers onstage.[233] Cyrus defended the performance, feeling she did nothing wrong.[233] Cyrus was the subject of public and media scrutiny following her performance of "We Can't Stop" (2013) and "Blurred Lines" (2013) with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Clad in a skin colored latex two-piece, Cyrus touched Thicke's crotch area with a giant foam finger and twerked against his crotch.[234] The performance resulted in a media frenzy; one reviewer likened the performance to a "bad acid trip",[134] while another described it as a "trainwreck in the classic sense of the word as the audience reaction seemed to be a mix of confusion, dismay and horror in a cocktail of embarrassment".[235] Cyrus entered the stage of her Bangerz Tour (2014) by sliding down a slide in the shape of a tongue, gaining media attention during the tour for her costumes and racy performances.[236]

Philanthropy

Throughout her career, Cyrus has sung on several charity singles such as: "Just Stand Up!", "Send It On", "Everybody Hurts" and "We Are the World 25 for Haiti".[237][238][239][240] She has visited sick fans in hospitals throughout the years.[241][242] She is an avid supporter of the City of Hope National Medical Center in California, having attended benefit concerts in 2008, 2009 and 2012.[243][244][245] In 2008 and 2009, during her Best of Both Worlds and Wonder World Tours, for every concert ticket sold, she donated one dollar to the organization.[246] Cyrus celebrated her sixteenth birthday at Disneyland by delivering a $1 million donation from Disney to Youth Service America.[247] In July 2009, Cyrus performed at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's 20th annual A Time for Heroes celebrity picnic[248] and donated several items including autographed merchandise, and a script from Hannah Montana for the Ronald McDonald House Auction.[249] Cyrus has supported charities such as the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Entertainment Industry Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, United Service Organizations, Youth Service America and Music for Relief.[250][251][252][253][254][255] In February 2010, she donated several items, including the dress she wore to the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and two tickets to the Hollywood premiere of her movie The Last Song, to raise money for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[256]

Cyrus stated: "I want (kids) to do something they love. Not something that seems like a chore because someone tells them that's the right thing to do or what their parents want or what's important to people around them, but what's in their heart."[259][260] In December 2011, she appeared in a commercial for the charity J/P Haitian Relief Organization, and teamed up with her elder brother Trace Cyrus to design a limited edition T-shirt and hoodie for charity. All proceeds from the sale of these items went to her charity, Get Ur Good On, which supports education for under-privileged children.[261][262] That month, she performed "The Climb" at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.[263]

In 2012, Cyrus released a cover version of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" featuring Johnzo West for the charity Amnesty International as a part of the album Chimes of Freedom.[264] She also appeared in a commercial for the Rock the Vote campaign, which encouraged young people to make their voices heard by voting in the 2012 federal election.[265] For her twentieth birthday, activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) adopted a pig called Nora in her name.[266][267] Cyrus also supports thirty-nine well-known charities, including: Make-a-Wish Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, To Write Love on Her Arms, NOH8 Campaign, Love Is Louder Than the Pressure to Be Perfect and The Jed Foundation among others.[268][269][270] In 2013, Cyrus was named the fourteenth most charitable celebrity of the year by Do Something.[271] She also appeared with Justin Bieber and Pitbull in a television special entitled The Real Change Project: Artists for Education.[272] On July 26, 2014, it was announced that Cyrus would appear alongside Justin Timberlake at an HIV/AIDS charity event in the White House.[273]

At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Jimmy Fallon announced that Cyrus was the winner of the Video of the Year award for her song "Wrecking Ball". Instead of accepting the award herself, she invited a twenty-two-year-old homeless man by the name of Jesse collect it on her behalf; she met him at My Friend's Place, an organization that helps homeless youth find shelter, work, health care and education. His acceptance speech encouraged musicians to learn more about homeless youth in Los Angeles at Cyrus's Facebook page.[274] Cyrus then launched a Prizeo campaign to raise funds for the charity; those who made donations were entered into a sweepstake for a chance to meet Cyrus on her Bangerz Tour in Rio de Janeiro that September.[275]

Happy Hippie Foundation

Cyrus is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which works to "fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations".[276] Since 2014, the foundation has served nearly 1,500 homeless youth in Los Angeles, reached more than 25,000 LGBTQ youth and their families with resources about gender, and provided social services to transgender individuals, youth in conflict zones, and people affected by crisis situations.[277] Happy Hippie encourages Cyrus's fans to support causes including gender equality, LGBTQ rights and mental health through awareness campaigns and fundraising.

On June 15, 2015, Cyrus unleashed the campaign #InstaPride[278] in collaboration with Instagram. The campaign features a series of portraits starring transgender and gender-expansive people, which were posted to her Instagram feed with the hashtags "#HappyHippiePresents" and "#InstaPride". It was aimed at encouraging diversity and tolerance by showing these people in a positive light as examples for others who might be struggling to figure themselves out, as well as a reference point for people who didn't know personally anyone in that situation. Cyrus was the one behind the camera for the photoshoot the whole time and even interviewed her 14 subjects to share their personal stories along with their portraits. She decided to predominate the color yellow since she believes it is a happy and non-sexualized color. She said she wanted to bring attention and celebrate people who wouldn't normally find themselves being the stars of a photoshoot or wouldn't find themselves on the cover of a magazine.[279]

Following the loss of their Malibu home from the Woolsey Fire, Cyrus and Hemsworth partnered with their community to launch the Malibu Foundation for relief efforts following the 2018 California wildfires.[280] Through the Happy Hippie Foundation, Cyrus and Hemsworth donated $500,000 to the Malibu Foundation.[281][282]

Public image
Cyrus on the red carpet at the 38th People's Choice Awards in 2012

In the early years of her career, Cyrus had a generally wholesome image as a teen idol.[283] Her fame increased dramatically following the Vanity Fair photo scandal, and it was reported that photos of Cyrus could be shopped for $2,000 apiece.[283] In the following years, Cyrus' image continued to shift dramatically from her previous teen idol status.[283] Donny Osmond wrote of Cyrus' transition into adulthood: "Miley will have to face adulthood..... As she does, she'll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity."[284] The release of Can't Be Tamed (2010) saw Cyrus officially attempting to distance herself from her teenage persona, releasing controversial music videos for her songs "Can't Be Tamed" (2010) and "Who Owns My Heart" (2010).[285][286] Her behavior generated considerable controversy throughout 2013 and 2014, although her godmother Dolly Parton stated "...the girl can write. The girl can sing. The girl is smart. And she doesn't have to be so drastic. But I will respect her choices. I did it my way, so why can't she do it her way?"[287]

Cyrus was placed at number seventeen on Forbes' list of the most powerful celebrities in 2014, the magazine noting that "The last time she made our list was when she was still rolling in Hannah Montana money. Now the pop singer is all grown up and courting controversy at every turn."[3] In August 2014, her life was documented in a comic book called Fame: Miley Cyrus, starting with her 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance to her Disney fame and exploring her childhood in Tennessee.[288] The comic book was written by Michael L. Frizell and drawn by Juan Luis Rincón and is available in both print and digital formats.[289] In September 2010, Cyrus placed tenth on Billboard magazine's first-ever list of Music's Hottest Minors of 2010[290] and was ranked twenty-first in 2011[291] and eighteenth in 2012.[292] In May 2013, Maxim ranked Cyrus first on their Hot 100 of the year.[293] Cyrus was chosen by Time magazine as one of their finalists for Person of the Year in November 2013[294]; she came in third place with 16.3% of the staff vote.[295] In March 2014, Skidmore College in New York began offering a special topics sociology course entitled "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media" which was "using Miley as a lens through which to explore sociological thinking about identity, entertainment, media and fame".[296] In 2015, Cyrus was listed as one of the nine runners-up for The Advocate's Person of the Year.[297]

Personal life

Sexuality and gender

Cyrus came out as pansexual to her mother when she was 14[298][299][300] and has said: "I never want to label myself! I am ready to love anyone that loves me for who I am! I am open."[301] In June 2015, TIME magazine reported she is gender fluid.[302][299][300][301] She was quoted as stating she "doesn't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl."[303] Cyrus stated she is "literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age".[298]

Cyrus is a supporter of the LGBT community.[304] Her song "My Heart Beats for Love" (2010) was written for one of Cyrus' gay friends,[305] while she has since claimed London is her favorite place to perform due to its extensive gay scene.[306] Cyrus also has an equals sign tattooed on her ring finger in support of same-sex marriage.[307] After her 2018 marriage to a man, Cyrus went on the record to state she still identified as queer.[308] She is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which works to "Fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations".[276]

Cannabis use

Cyrus is open about her recreational use of cannabis.[309][310] She told Rolling Stone in 2013 that it was "the best drug on earth" and called it, along with MDMA, a "happy drug".[311] While accepting the Best Video Award at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, Cyrus smoked what appeared to be a joint on stage; this was removed from the delayed broadcast of the program in the United States.[312] In a 2014 interview with W, Cyrus stated "I love weed" and "I just love getting stoned."[313] On a 2017 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Cyrus revealed that she quit cannabis before the press tour of her album Younger Now so she could be "super clear" when discussing the record.[314] She credited her mother for reintroducing her to cannabis during a 2018 interview with Andy Cohen.[315] In 2019, Cyrus sent "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" collaborator Mark Ronson a cannabis bouquet from Lowell Herb Co as a tongue-in-cheek Valentine's Day gift.[316] She invested in the cannabis company in August.[317]

Relationships

Cyrus has stated that she dated singer and actor Nick Jonas from June 2006 to December 2007,[318] claiming they were "in love" and began dating soon after they first met.[319] Her relationship with Jonas attracted considerable media attention.[320] Cyrus was in a nine-month relationship with model Justin Gaston from 2008 to 2009.[321] While filming The Last Song, Cyrus began an on-again, off-again relationship with her co-star, Liam Hemsworth, in 2009.[322] During the breakups, Cyrus has been romantically linked to actors Lucas Till (2009) and Josh Bowman (2011).[323] Cyrus and Hemsworth were first engaged from May 2012 until September 2013.[324][325] After, she dated for a few months producer Mike Will Made It (2013), actor Patrick Schwarzenegger (2014–2015), model Stella Maxwell (2015), comedian Dane Cook (2016) and blogger Kaitlynn Carter (2019).[326][322][327]

Cyrus and Hemsworth rekindled their relationship in March 2016,[328][329] and became re-engaged that October.[330] In November 2018, Cyrus and Hemsworth's home burned down in the Woolsey Fire.[331][332] On December 23, Cyrus and Hemsworth married in a private wedding ceremony in their home in Nashville, Tennessee.[333] She felt that her marriage "[redefined] what it looks like for someone that's a queer person like [herself] to be in a hetero relationship" though she was "still very sexually attracted to women". Cyrus indicated that the ceremony was "kind of out of character for [her]" because "[they have] worn rings forever [and] definitely didn't need it in any way". She believed the loss of their home to be the catalyst for getting married, citing that "the timing felt right" and that "no one is promised the next day, or the next, so [she tries] to be 'in the now' as much as possible".[334] On August 10, 2019, Cyrus announced their separation.[335] Eleven days later, Hemsworth filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences".[336] To commemorate her divorce from Hemsworth, Cyrus had a note written to her from Yoko Ono tattooed on her left shoulder blade.[337] On January 28, 2020, their divorce had been finalized.[338]

Since October 2019, Cyrus and Australian singer Cody Simpson have been in a committed relationship after being friends for years prior.[339] In August 2020, Cyrus announced that she had broken up with Simpson in her single "Midnight Sky", although the two still remain friends.[340]

Religious beliefs

Cyrus was raised as a Christian and identified herself as such during her childhood and early adult life.[30] Cyrus includes references to Tibetan Buddhism in the lyrics of "Milky Milky Milk" (2015).[341]
