Kind of amazing hearing Miley Cyrus, 17ish years into her career and still only 30 years old, evolve from a great musical chameleon to find her authentic voice as a musical artist.https://t.co/EWMAlJYRR1… https://t.co/TEhWXy6pCq

This is a really good and touching song for any woman but especially those who were attacked while just trying to grow up and find her place in a chaotic world. @MileyCyrus’ vocals are always hard-hitting. Great new single 👏🏾 https://t.co/LdcNb4MQGg

Miley is one of the few celebrities I cannot help but keep in high regard and on a high pedestal in my mind. She’s one of the few who’s grown in the industry, fucked up, taken alot of the accountability for it, and chosen to let it help her be better. Watching her grow helped me. https://t.co/DxuAwWkOxD

Miley 🥹 Of her generation of Disney stars she faced the harshest criticisms & I’m very appreciative with how her journey has allowed future Disney artists like Olivia have more freedom of expression & to not be boxed into a “good girl” image#MileyCyrus  #UsedToBeYoung pic.twitter.com/zUJz3hfQD3
