Miley Cyrus is looking for a new generation of artists.
The singer is no stranger to the spotlight and the price of fame that comes with it. That includes the wave of criticism she has received throughout her career. Now, she wants to make sure that doesn’t happen to upcoming artists, specifically Chappell Roan.
Talking to Harper’s Market In a candid interview, Cyrus asked people to sympathize with Roan instead of criticizing her actions.
“I wish people wouldn’t give her a hard time,” Cyrus said. “Maybe it’s hard to get into this business with phones and Instagram. That hasn’t always been a part of my life and fame.” .
Roan has been the subject of a wave of online hate since rising to fame last year thanks to her album, The rise and fall of a Midwestern princessas well as her Grammy-nominated single, “Good Luck, Babe!”
Roan was also the subject of criticism during the presidential election season due to controversial comments she made which she later clarified, noting that she would not vote for Donald Trump.

Roan has spoken out about the price of fame and how it has affected her over the past year, where she likened it to an abusive ex.

Roan also canceled an appearance at All Things Go due to her mental health and how fame has affected it.
In a statement on her Instagram Stories, Roan revealed that things had become “overwhelming” for her.

“I feel pressured to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health. I want to be present when I perform and give the best performance possible. Thank you.” Thank you for your understanding. Come back soon xox,” Roan concluded.
Cyrus wasn’t the only singer to come to Roan’s defense as Mariah Carey also came to her defense.
“Well, I’ve been through dramas and it’s not fun at all because when you grow up you think, ‘I want to be famous’. I mean, really for me, it’s always been ‘I want to be a singer. I want to write songs.’ But ‘I want to be famous’ also comes with it. I feel like maybe it’s because I don’t feel like I’m good enough because of the things I went through growing up feel, you know?” Carey told Related press.
“But my advice is to do your best to go into this industry with a love for your talent or something that’s really meaningful to you. You know, if it’s like, ‘I want famous. I want to run around with those people, whoever they are, famous people’ which is probably not the best idea,” she added.
Elsewhere in the interview, Cyrus revealed that she has a new album to her name Something beautiful in the works and it’s a photo album.
Cyrus spoke about the project before saying it was inspired by Pink Floyd’s. Wall.
“My idea was to create The Wall but with a sleeker, sexier wardrobe and filled with pop culture,” Cyrus added.
