With a family-friendly platform like Disney Channel giving Miley Cyrus her start, it’s not surprising that the artist was highly criticized for her bold moves throughout her career. The artist shocked fans when she posed semi-nude for a 2008 Vanity Fair cover wearing a sheet to cover herself. At the time, the artist was 16 years old, and she issued a public apology for the shoot due to the intense backlash. She later took it back in 2018, tweeting, “IM NOT SORRY. F**k YOU #10yearsago.”
A year later, her pole-dancing performance of “Party in the U.S.A.” drew criticism from fans as she began to stray farther away from her innocent Disney persona. The music featured Cyrus embracing her sexuality in an edgy all-black feathered outfit while she sang inside a cage. Long gone was the blonde, bright-eyed, and innocent Hannah Montana, and in its place was a Cyrus breaking free from her tween-star persona.
With the release of her 2014 album “Bangerz,” Cyrus’ days as a charming sitcom star were long gone. The album came after a publicized split with Liam Hemsworth and featured the track “Wrecking Ball” with powerful lyrics like, “We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain/We jumped, never asking why.” It showcased a vulnerable, grown-up side of herself fans had yet to meet. The record was raw and honest, but it drew criticism for what viewers believed to be drug references. In her track “We Can’t Stop,” some believe the lyrics, “We like to party/Dancing with Molly” could be a reference to MDMA’s street name “Molly.”
