Fame has always felt really natural to me: Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus believes that fame has always felt "really natural" to her, attributing this to her upbringing in the entertainment industry alongside her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Growing up on tours and film sets meant she was accustomed to the environment from a young age.

“

Because I grew up around my dad, being on tours and being on sets, it felt really natural to me. I never felt like a fish out of water.

"Because I grew up around my dad, being on tours and being on sets, it felt really natural to me. I never felt like a fish out of water," Cyrus told Variety. She explained that this exposure lessened her infatuation with Hollywood, preventing her from becoming jaded and helping her remain grounded when her career took off with the Disney series Hannah Montana.

“

People were really shocked about that, like, ‘When you got to Los Angeles, was your mind blown?’ I never like to think I was jaded, but being around show business, I had less of an infatuation with Hollywood.

Despite her early familiarity with fame, Cyrus now recognizes the importance of being present. She advised her younger self to "Be present enough to remember," noting that she sometimes focused too much on future steps rather than enjoying the moment. Cyrus now makes a conscious effort to savor significant experiences, like standing at the Grammys or singing at the White House, ensuring she remembers them clearly.

I would say: Be present enough to remember.
