American singer and actress Miley Cyrus graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar as she opens up about life, career and growth. The dazzling star lands the ‘Summer Of Love’ issue as lensed by famous celebrity photographer Camilla Akrans with fashion editor Tom Van Dorpe and interviewed by Jessica Pressler.
“I feel really kind of far away from that person,” Miley says, stretching her coltish legs, clad in vintage blue-and-white bell bottoms, across the dusty floor. “I just want people to see that this is who I am right now. I’m not saying I’ve never been myself,” she clarifies. “Who I was on the last record was really who I am. It’s just myself has been a lot of different people because I change a lot.”
For the past few months, Miley has been under a “media blackout,” as she puts it, but now words bubble out of her like an uncorked bottle of champagne. “I think I’m just figuring out who I am at such a rapid pace that it’s hard for me to keep up with myself,” she explains at one point.
Her evolution, and how it will be perceived, is top of mind. “People get told that it’s a bad thing to change,” she continues. “Like, people will say, ‘You’ve changed.’ And that’s supposed to be derogatory. But you are supposed to change all the time.” Especially in pop music, where reinvention is the coin of the realm.
