Overview

• In a CBS Sunday Morning teaser posted before the Oct. 5 episode, Cyrus says she was “the first person to maybe ever be canceled” and adds she only realized later how “brutal” the reaction was.
• She notes the period felt “fun” in her early 20s but says with distance she sees how harsh the judgments were.
• Her comments reference the uproar over her shift from Hannah Montana to edgier releases like 2010’s Can’t Be Tamed and 2013’s Bangerz, including her headline‑making 2013 MTV VMA performance.
• Coverage underscores her subsequent run of success, including Grammys for 2023’s Flowers and a 2025 win for a duet with Beyoncé.
• The forthcoming interview is expected to address her sobriety, family dynamics, and ninth album Something Beautiful, as online commenters challenge her “first canceled” claim by pointing to earlier examples such as Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.
