than $79 million..The
same year she also
starred in the romantic
drama ‘The last Song’, a
film based on a novel by

and took to wearing edgy fashions to craft
a new image.

9. • However, no one really knew
how far she would go to
change her star image. At the
MTV video music awards
(VMAs) in 2013. She stunned
the audience with a massive
contradiction to her previous
performances when she
performed her single ‘We cant
stop’. Around this time she
appeared nude in her music

seemed to bolster sales for her
fourth album ‘Bangerz’
released in late 2013.

11. • So as Miley Cyrus transformed her image
through the years from a children ‘pop’
star, actress and idol- To her changing
into an adult and creating a completely
new star image. She didnt fail to produce
music that didn’t satisfy the audience.

have seen the ‘old Miley’
particularly at the ‘one
love Manchester tribute’
concert. This may mean
Miley has out grown her
‘rebellious’ teenager
persona and has
successfully changed
her image in the music
industry.
