Miley Cyrus is taking a nostalgic journey back to her formative years, shedding light on her demanding childhood work schedule that shaped her into the artist she is today.
In the latest installment of her “Used to Be Young” TikTok series, the Endless Summer Vacation singer delved into her past, unveiling a glimpse of her early years during the iconic Hannah Montana era. Cyrus shared a snapshot of her former workdays, revealing the relentless pace she maintained even as a young star.
Revisiting an old schedule from when she was around 12 or 13 years old, Cyrus gave viewers an insight into a typical Friday in her life at that time. Her day would commence with a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call to prepare for hours of hair and makeup, setting the stage for an exhaustive schedule. This day would be packed with a minimum of eight separate interviews, photoshoots, and meetings, with her final commitment starting at 6:15 p.m.
But the intensity didn’t halt there. Even on a Saturday, Cyrus described a schedule that began at 7 a.m. and stretched all the way until 7:30 p.m., dominated by unspecified activities. The grueling routine left her with only a single day off before she had to plunge back into the world of filming for Hannah Montana on the subsequent Monday.
Concluding the introspective journey with a chuckle, Cyrus stated, “I’m a lot of things but lazy ain’t one of them. So… I do think this girl deserves a little endless summer vacation.”
Cyrus’ willingness to revisit her past experiences sheds light on the demanding nature of fame and success from a young age. Her candor not only highlights her own growth but also underscores the larger issues surrounding the well-being of young talents in the entertainment industry.
This isn’t the first instance of Cyrus addressing the challenges she has faced due to an unrelenting work ethic. Earlier in May, she candidly shared her perspective on touring for Endless Summer Vacation. In an Instagram post, she expressed immense gratitude for her fans while explaining her hesitance to embark on another tour. She cited the demanding nature of tour life, stating, “This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the fans and everything to do with I simply don’t want to get ready in a locker room. Which is the reality of life on the road.”
Cyrus, known for her ever-evolving artistry, acknowledged that her feelings could change in the future, emphasizing that her creative journey is marked by shifts and transformations. Her decision to prioritize her well-being and comfort in her career choices speaks to her evolving understanding of self-care and the importance of balance.
Miley Cyrus’ journey from a childhood star to a multifaceted artist is an inspiration to many. Her willingness to share the less glamorous aspects of fame and success serves as a reminder that the road to stardom is not always paved with ease. As she embraces her “Endless Summer Vacation,” Cyrus advocates for a healthier and more sustainable approach to achieving one’s dreams, one that takes into account the need for rest, reflection, and personal growth. Her candid reflections remind us that even in the spotlight, it’s essential to prioritize well-being and happiness.
