MTV aired a documentary staring Miley Cyrus on October 2nd that may be what the people needed to see. Miley opened the documentary saying, “I don’t apologize for anything.” The hour long movie allowed viewers to get an inside look on Miley’s controversial year as she “transitioned” from the Miley we used to know to the spikey, blonde and wild girl we see today. Miley herself won’t call it a transition, but a “Movement.” She says in the movie, “Every decision goes into a bigger plan…” she says of her recent choices. “For me, the movement has to be bigger than just a record. For me, a movement represents like taking over the world.”
MTV takes us through the making of her soon-to-be released album, Bangerz, and her decision to stray away from acting and focus on her music career. Miley spent three months living in Philadelphia while working on her album, which she said was “the best time of my life.” Philly was a relaxing experience for Miley because she was finally out of focus and was able to go incognito for a little while. It was here that she made the decision to chop off her hair and bleach it; she was ready to start a new chapter of her life and move on from the past.
Cyrus wrapped up the short movie by focusing on her VMA performance. She made it clear to people that she was a “strategic hot mess,” everything she did in her performance was planned. She wanted to be funny, not sexy, saying that if she wanted to be sexy she wouldn’t be dressed up in a bear costume. Having trouble understanding the ways of Miley?
