Miley Cyrus is growing up. The 17 year-old pop star recently released her video for her new single “Can’t Be Tamed.” This video acted as a way that she could “come out” and breakaway from her squeaky clean Disney tween image. Miley is portrayed as a sex symbol and a bird-like creature that people have traveled to look at. She is in a cage and breaks away from the cage as to metaphorically show her coming into her own and leaving Disney behind. The entire video she is wearing nothing but what seems to be lingerie and hooker boots. Her dance moves are sexual and sensual, as to symbolize her transition into becoming a woman. She is surrounded by dancers the entire video, while they simulate same-sex kissing and provocative dancing. It is fine that Miley wants to grow up, but the problem lies that some of her fans have not. Most Miley Cyrus fans are around the ages of 5-12. These girls are certainly not grown up and may not be mature enough to see a video that is so raunchy and sexual. Personally, I think that she could have weened her way into this “new and improved” Miley instead of just shocking all her fans and parents with her overt sexual behavior. But, she certainly accomplished what she hoped for: Miley version 2.0
