Overview

• In a CBS Sunday Morning teaser shared on Instagram, Cyrus says she was “the first person to maybe ever be canceled,” with the full interview set to air Oct. 5.
• She adds that she only later grasped “how brutal” the reaction was, recalling that the period felt fun to her at the time and that she now avoids judging people in their 20s from her current vantage point.
• Commenters and coverage questioned her claim’s historical framing, pointing to earlier, heavily criticized pop eras by Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
• CBS says the interview will also touch on her sobriety, her family and her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful.
• The remarks revisit the 2013 MTV VMAs performance and the Bangerz reinvention she has previously said embarrassed her family, including siblings who struggled with the backlash.
