The thing that I admire about Miley Cyrus is that she constantly reinvents herself and always works, she began. For a lot of artists, it can seem inauthentic or out of the blue, but she s very open about her transformations artistically and personally, and she’s so true to herself. She puts out music that is so authentic.
The NME The Cover star continued: Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana tour with Jonas Brothers opening was my first concert ever. She came down in a box from the ceiling. I was like, How do I do that one day? I still think about it. I still think about the show. I want to be like Hannah Montana.
There s a lot of crossover between Miley and my project, and it s just like, I m such a fan too.

Chappell Roan released her debut studio album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess , last September. In a four-star review, NME described it as a display of Roan s bold and brazen pen, where she places searing revelations alongside some deliciously cheeky choruses .
Her rapid rise to fame has now seen her achieve her first UK Number One album almost a year after its release, which Elton John congratulated her on recently.
However, with Roan s star rising rapidly over the last few months, it has charged up three places to the top spot on the Official UK Albums Chart, just ahead of Charli XCX s Brat , Taylor Swift s The Tortured Poets Department and Billie Eilish s Hit Me Hard and Soft .
Roan has also recent been open about the drawbacks over her meteoric rise to fame, and expressed wanting to [pump] the brakes on it after fans gave off stalker vibes . Speaking on the latest episode of the Comment Section podcast with Drew Afualo, Roan said: People have started to be freaks like, [they] follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works. All this weird shit.
Roan recalled: This is the time when a few years ago when I said that if [there were] stalker vibes or my family was in danger, I would quit. And we re there. We re there! I m just kind of in this battle ¦ I ve pumped the brakes on, honestly, anything to make me more known. It s kind of a forest fire right now. I m not trying to go do a bunch of shit.
