Miley Cyrus reveals her two “guiding lights”
Miley Cyrus has revealed the two stars that she deems most important in her career.
Speaking newly with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, Cyrus bestowed high praise upon Anderson’s shoulders. “I feel like I’ve had a couple of guiding lights throughout my career, and you’ve definitely been one of them – whether we check in every couple of years or you come to a show,” she shared.
The pair most recently collaborated on The Last Showgirl, in which Anderson plays the frazzled, ageing but still dazzling protagonist and Cyrus sang and co-wrote the end-credits song, ‘Beautiful That Way’.
Anderson most recently starred alongside Liam Neeson in the newly revived comedy, The Naked Gun. Anderson shared of her co-star, “Yeah, we definitely had chemistry right away. I was just curious as to where it was going to take us in the film. So it was really a nice start.”
Cyrus added another woman to her list of “guiding lights”—her own Godmother, Dolly Parton.
“During the fires, when there was so much devastation and grief, in those moments I always thought of Dolly Parton,” she told Anderson. “Through her music and her gift for making people happy, she’s always been medicinal in those times. She always tells me that moments of trauma aren’t times to shut down or give up as entertainers.”
She also added, “It’s our duty – one of the reasons we chose this calling – to be a source of joy and inspiration during moments of trouble.”
However, she made note of “A balance, and even some controversy, in how people feel you should respond in times like that. But I think the way we showed up reflected who we are as artists.”
Recently, Cyrus released the deluxe edition of her latest album, Something Beautiful, which includes the new single ‘Secrets’ featuring Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham. David Byrne features on the other additional track available on the new version, titled ‘Lockdown’.
