JAKARTA - The pop star from the US, Miley Cyrus, recently stated that she was the first person who might have been boycotted or criticized by the public (cancel culture).

He made this surprising statement recalling his transitional period from Disney's teenage star to a controversial popstar figure.

In a recent interview at the CBS Sunday Morning event, Cyrus reflected on her journey, especially when her album was released in 2013, Bangerz.

The album sparked a strong wave of criticism from the public. Strong reactions arise because of song content that discusses drugs, increasingly sexual self-image, and allegations of imitating Black cultural elements.

These things cause a very severe negative reaction from the audience.

Host Tracy Smith also asked about the time period, while mentioning that there were women trying to cancel Cyrus.

"I may be the first person to ever be canceled. I think so," Cyrus replied, quoted by NME, Wednesday, October 8.

The 'Wrecking Ball' singer continued by revealing that he did not realize how bad the criticism was when he lived it.

I didn't know until I was an adult, actually, how brutal it was, added Cyrus. "It was very challenging for other people, but for me it was a good time. It looked fun and fun."

Cyrus then explained that she had just realized how severe the criticism was.

"I will never be in my position now, looking at someone in their 20s from my current point of view. But at that time, it was amazing," he said.
