Miley Cyrus was never a consensus and was not appreciated by the public.
She is already 30 years old, and for most of her long career the attitude towards her was extremely ambivalent and critical.
Remember, after she shed her Hannah Montana character on the Disney channel, shaved her head, posed naked, jumped between genders and orientations and grew armpit hair - it was customary to diagnose her condition according to classic Britney symptoms.
Everyone said: This is a prodigy who lost a screw.
They laughed at her for being promiscuous and provocative, they explained that she was drugged, that she was having a mental breakdown, they claimed that she was crazy, because otherwise how would you explain why she was twerking in prime time and riding a giant hot dog at concerts.
Meanwhile, Miley stuck out her tongue and grew up in her own way, as a free spirit in an engineered world.
But maybe Miley hasn't gone crazy, and we're the weird ones?
Maybe Miley just did things that others don't dare, and ignored the standards that our society forces women her age to behave according to?
Because when the world didn't understand who she was and what she was, Cyrus refused to choose a box or a definition and asked to be whatever she felt like.
More than a decade passed until the world digested her.
She moved from Disney songs to country, did hip hop and pop, and finally stopped in the rock genre.
The current generation almost didn't raise rock stars, the music is controlled by industrial pop puppets, so the world needs Miley Cyrus.
The world needs a boundless, stormy, angry, liberated and powerful star like her.
A woman who screams and breaks ceilings.
Cyrus brings to music a happy feminism, which is based on self-empowerment and a silly voice.
The new hit, "Flowers", is actually a revenge song for the legendary ex, Liam Hemsworth, who divorced her in 2019 after a long relationship.
Each line is like an arrow in the heart that she launches at him.
"We built a house and watched it burn," she sings, "I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, talk to myself for hours, say things I won't understand, I can take myself to dance, I can hold my own hand. I can To love myself more than you can."
In the clip, she climbs in a golden Yves Saint Laurent dress on the Hollywood hills, swims in a swimsuit and performs physical fitness exercises by the pool in a luxurious house.
Theories about messages that Cyrus planted in the song circulated in the networks, including an unproven claim that the house where the music video was filmed was used by the ex to cheat on her during their marriage.
This catchy breakup anthem came out just a week ago (on Hemsworth's birthday, no coincidence) and has already conquered the charts and is sure to be one of her biggest hits.
Miley Malka, people on the internet concluded.
So why is it that when she once celebrated her femininity with pride, Cyrus only received slurs and criticism?
What happened that we are suddenly celebrating it?
Although she is more mature now, but Miley is still the same Miley.
We have changed.
What a decade ago was considered subversive, wild and strange, today is accepted as a statement of self-empowerment - girl power.
Nowadays women don't have to put themselves in slots and definitions, they can get divorced and continue to be happy and love themselves.
They can buy themselves flowers, and thank Miley Cyrus for shattering social conventions for us.
