Miley Cyrus Takes A Shot At Taylor Swift In New Interview
Miley Cyrus is gracing the cover of Marie Claire’s September issue, and although it won’t hit newsstands until 8/18, the magazine has just shared a few choice quotes from the interview, as The Mirror notes. Miley discusses her recently launched LGBTQ and homeless youth aid organization the Happy Hippie Foundation, her own sexuality, and the hypocrisy and double standards in the music industry, characteristically pulling no punches. “There is so much sexism, ageism, you name it,” Cyrus says. “Kendrick Lamar sings about LSD and he’s cool. I do it and I’m a druggie whore.” She also questions why Taylor Swift is always seen as the untouchable good girl, saying this about the star-studded revenge fantasy video for “Bad Blood“: “I don’t get the violence revenge thing. That’s supposed to be a good example? And I’m a bad role model because I’m running around with my titties out? I’m not sure how titties are worse than guns.” To be honest, me neither, but America has had a weird, obsessive love/hate relationship with female nudity for like, forever. Miley, however, doesn’t give a shit: “I don’t really stress too much about being out there. There’s nothing left to catch me doing. You want to hack my e-mail so you can find my nude pictures? I’ll just fucking put them up.” And this is what she has to say about her own gender identity and why she started the Happy Hippie Foundation: ?”A lot of us are born into some shit, you know what I mean? Lately, I’ve been talking a lot about my being gender-fluid and gender-neutral. And some people snarl at that. They want to judge me. People need more conventional role models, I guess. But I just don’t care to be that person.”
