Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus, the pop star who got her start acting in the Disney Channel show “Hannah Montana,” has had an astounding year. On Jan. 12, Cyrus released her hit single “Flowers,” which charted at number one in the Billboard Hot 100 for 25 weeks, the longest ever for a female singer. Her achievements only continued to grow after she released the “Endless Summer Vacation” album in March. 

The album featured songs like “Jaded” and “River,” and became incredibly popular. In August, Cyrus surprised everyone once again with the release of a new single, “Used To Be Young,” which was added to “Endless Summer Vacation,” following its release. “Used To Be Young,” a beautiful, emotional song that touched the hearts of many fans and was a pivotal moment of Cyrus’ career. It brought us all back to her younger days, when she was Hannah Montana and released the “Bangerz” album, during the time at which she was often considered “wild” and “crazy.” 

After Cyrus released “Used To Be Young,” she posted a series of three videos on TikTok telling stories from her past, talking about what her life was like throughout her childhood. The videos addressed how busy her life was at such a young age and stories about her dad, bringing all of her fans through her 30 years of life. 

All in all, Cyrus deserves to be recognized as the best person of 2023 because of how hard she has worked to have her most successful year yet. Although, if “Endless Summer Vacation” is any indication, Cyrus isn’t done yet.
