Cyrus talks about what the beach means to her as a Nashville girl, her respect for her fans and Liam Hemsworth making fun of her driving. "This will be my most inclusive record," Miley tells Billboard's John Norris inside her Rainbow Land studio.

[@knowsitbest2546]

"Normal" again? What does "normal" even mean? She's happy. That's all that matters.

[@hs6643]

Knowsitbest 2 Yeah I love that she's back but I'm already so sick of all the fake fans, that are coming back and acting like "Omg she is finally back and normal again I love her". Pisses me of. Like for real who decides what's normal?

[@theresaallen8043]

[@all-timealien4483]

Knowsitbest 2 well normal is definitely isn't humping giant pink teddy bears in a leotard covered in cartoon weed leaves

[@prolet9282]

Knowsitbest 2 She is happy cus she is normal(being her again) I think now she realizes that it was stupid what she did back in 2013 cus she let down her fans in the name of fame and money. That's my opinion!

[@twinklechopra2320]

Max Headroom after All she is Real!! not everyone have the Guts to be Real!! not even you Mr. Max!

[@alexarodriguez2925]

There's just something about her. SO genuine and care free in a. good way. You can tell she never puts on a front. She is literally her genuine true self. Ugh. Love her. There's no one quite like her in the industry.

Miley inspires me somehow. I think she has this insane energy and she's got talent, you can't deny.

[@Heira]

Zura Tughushi well what about Katys hair is sooooo diffrent so

[@junedreamer]

an intellectual 👌🏽

[@nononene3079]

Zura, she is not a role model.... changing her style or habit from normal to weird n nasty is not a good life cycle, it's called FAKE.

[@noemiapolo5840]

Bulous me Fab your opinion

[@Jadebay73]

Zura Tughushi actually you are right, changing is being real, don't listen to that Miley hater, because Miley is real, changing is part of life

[@havenalexalangley546]

Not even a huge Miley fan but I'm so happy she's happy again.

[@amirulhakimroslee5590]

princess elz he meant bitches here such Jk lol

[@jenniferwagland]

What I love the most about Miley is how when she feels something, she just goes with it and she expresses it so beautifully in art. I don't believe there is an old or a new Miley - she will never stay in one particular way. She is growing everyday to be what she feels like in the moment. That's the only way she can stat true to herself 🌸💚

[@EdieeNE]

She is so down to earth, she so unique.

[@harmony4733]

Yeah she seems, but i think its a living hell living with her imagen you tell her dont go naked, she would go fucking bananas on you..

[@aaryas6821]

You're very gullible.

[@faidrao2]

I actually started crying when she talked about her fans. I've loved her since I was six, I'm sixteen now. She has gotten me through so much, no artist will even mean that much to me.

[@msbunny6671]

F. Giannopoulou never understood why people cry for celebrities yeah they love their fans but sometimes ppl get too dramatic over someone with a little talent. i often wonder whos worse? The #1 fan or the groupies?

[@aleksslopanovs]

miley is a nice person. I like this song and I fell relaxed while listening .

[@Heira]

Alekss Lopanovs hold up Katy and miley change their hair style Katy Perry's hair looks better look for her and miley just grows her wow I see why they did it except Katy Perry lied but love her style I would do a vote songs don't matter but their hair style looks great love it

[@Heira]

Alekss Lopanovs well here's the different Katy and miley did swap so yea i see why Katy change it but miley change it the right reason so yea

Can we talk about her impression of her mom!?❤️😍 PURE PERFECTION!! (im fangirling way too hard today.)

[@JackyBandicoot]

"hoping that we'll stay the same, and nothing will change, and it'll be us just for a while" that line legit made me sad. i just hope miley is the most happy she can be rn she deserves it so much

[@bfrost5266]

It's super cute when she starts dancing XD

She's wrong, we don't choose to love her. There is no choice in loving Miley. How could we not love such a positive kind and talented human being?? tell me Mileyyyyyyy how could we not love you? ??

[@Mackenziestryker]

Honestly so in love with her. She's such an amazing girl and has grown so much in unexplainable beautiful ways❤️

[@tanijawashington8740]

I love Miley Cyrus😍😍

[@sarahgazon3358]

I love how she's not trashing Disney like most stars do like she's stopped trying to get away from her roots and like being grateful for it

[@manuelorozco7760]

I never thought it would happen. Especially when her dad wished Hannah Montana never happened. And that’s only because he and Tish (Miley’s real life mom) were about to get divorced. That’s what turned me against Miley until last year when this song came along.

[@erniehuang3424]

2:58 she mimicking her mom is so funny 😂😂

[@jenniferliu4852]

Seeing Miley happy makes me happy its simple ❤❤❤

[@Plasticmilxy]

BUY MALIBU ON ITUNES!

My boobs hurted so much when she started dancing and jumping braless omg

[@alliemaricru1551]

Kirsten Pruitt can confirm. I'm a C, and since A cup have always hated bras. Run 12+ miles daily braless.

She's really such a sweetheart ❤️people need to start seeing the good in her she's beautiful inside and out and has a creative mind and some people just hate creativity..

"Be with the person you love, even if that's a fucking pig." I'm glad I never stopped loving her. She is my first person in pop. I don't regret it.

[@Milez2Go16]

Truly happy for her

[@renesmee463]

I'm always here for miley. I will never leave. Since 2006 I've been here and I was 7yrs. Now I'm 21 and I'm still loving her! Always has and always will. Love her and Liam. She's everything ❤️

[@littlemouse91019]

I like the fact that it was recorded in a trailer; I think it gives the song a more authentic sound. It's more natural and less edited than the average song.

[@meredithdaniels6872]

Miley has been a big part of my life since Hannah started, and she's still such a huge part of my life. Her music is so diverse, she is. And she inspires me to be myself everyday, I absolutely love her so much.

Normal again? Miley has always been herself except on her Hannah Montana days. If that's not normal for you then sorry not sorry.

[@KaitlinRainbowPageGlitter]

This is why Miley acted the way she acted before the way she did because of people like you

[@milliesacre8853]

this song sounds so personal....its really emotional i almost cried.

[@itschelseakay]
