Miley Cyrus has been extremely successful in various avenues of her life but the two biggest avenues would have to be her music career and her acting career. The entire world knows Miley Cyrus‘s name which sounds like a lot of pressure but for someone like Miley Cyrus, she is able to thrive under pressure.

She has been able to maintain her dignity, self-esteem, and poise amidst some of the most intense scrutiny that comes from people who are sometimes even twice her age!

Miley Cyrus‘s first two major albums were huge for her career! Meet Miley Cyrus dropped in 2007 helping fans differentiate Miley Cyrus from the fictional persona that she played on Disney Channel, Hannah Montana. She strategically released this album so that people knew that she was her own person with her own identity separate from the character she played (who wore a blond wig all the time.) The following year she released her album Breakout which featured the hit song “7 Things," a song rumored to have been about her failed relationship with Nick Jonas.

And then along came Hannah Montana! Between 2006 in 2011, Miley Cyrus was the biggest Disney Channel starlet of all time in the leading role of the hit TV show about a teenage pop star who is maintaining her secret identity so that she can still enjoy regular high school life amongst regular high school friends. Joining her in the show was her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, who played her on-screen father. The show ended up being a huge hit and is still the most popular Disney Channel show to date.

Miley Cyrus's following two albums were just as popular as her first two albums. She released Can’t Be Tamed in 2010 which was her attempt at wiping away the squeaky clean Disney Channel image that she had been portraying to the world for so many years. The album was considered a bit edgier as a push some of the boundaries of sexuality. Then in 2013, she fully threw out any and all regard for the formerly squeaky clean image she once had. Her Bangerz album was labeled “inappropriate” by the judgmental. In all reality, the album is filled with some incredible bops and plenty of Hip Hop collaborations.
