For over a decade, Miley Cyrus has been making music accompanied with visuals. Below, we’ve compiled the top 11 music videos that show just how Miley paved the way for herself into the music industry.
Dua Lipa joins Miley in “Prisoner,” where the two bring back the 80’s music era through their aesthetic vibes. Their voices compliment each other so well!
The slot machine shows the different era of Mileys in her life, followed by the iconic Hannah Montana sign, this music video is so nostalgic for fans.
“Midnight Sky,” directed by Miley Cyrus continues her ’80s-inspired era, evoking her inner Madonna.We are loving the glam, neon lights and mirrored room.
Written about a place and person she loved at the time (ex-husband Liam Hemsworth), “Malibu” feels like her anthem of freedom.
“Slide away” is about letting go of your past, moving forward realizing things won’t go back to how they used to be. The relatable song is accompanied by this music video, where you can see Miley’s raw emotion and pain.
The first single from Miley’s 2013 Bangerz, “We Can’t Stop” was our first introduction of the bolder Miley that we now have come to know.
Miley’s godmother Dolly Parton wrote “Jolene,” so naturally Miley covered the song as a tribute to her godmother. Her dad Billy Ray collaborated with Lil Nas X on a remix of “Old Town Road,” and Lil Nas X recently did his own cover of “Jolene,” which Dolly says she liked. Everything came full circle thanks to Dolly.
Remember when this music video was controversial because of Miley’s clothing and dance moves?! Arguably, “Can’t Be Tamed” is her most iconic video.
“When I Look At You” debuted 11 years ago and it was used to promote the Nicholas Sparks film The Last Song in which she co-starred with Liam Hemsworth.
Featuring WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo, Chad Smith, Elton said Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” is one of the best songs ever written by anyone.
The Kid LAROI adding Miley to the track was a brilliant move, as her voice collides so well with his. The video, along with many of her other music videos, was directed by Miley herself.
