At 23, Miley Cyrus has already been Nashville royalty, a Disney-made mogul, a tabloid plaything, a best-selling recording artist, a twerking exhibitionist, a hot dog-riding rock star, an Instagram performance artist, and, with her foundation, Happy Hippie, a champion of homeless and LGBTQ teens. Now, as she steps into her new role as a coach on NBC’s The Voice—her first TV gig since Hannah Montana wrapped in 2011—we find a full-fledged woman who understands her power and is determined to put
it to good use.Miley Cyrus has this term: “doing it.” It roughly translates to “trying” or “acting”—and it’s not a compliment. Because, in Miley World, one of the worst things you can be is disingenuous. (People who suck up to her because she’s famous are “doing it”; the notoriously curmudgeonly Woody Allen, who directed her in this fall’s Amazon series, Crisis in Six Scenes, is, according to Cyrus, “not doing it.”) […]
“[A year ago] I had to do the [A Very Murray Christmas] premiere, and I will never do a red carpet again. Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m ‘important’? Because I’m ‘famous’? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit—it’s like Zoolander.”
