"A true friend is someone who is always there during the ups and downs, I actually have a song called 'True Friend'"
About this Quote
The intent reads like a gentle bid for credibility. In celebrity culture, saying you value "someone who is always there" can sound suspiciously abstract, because fame is built on temporary proximity: people crowd in for the highs, vanish at the first messy headline. Cyrus’s phrasing nods to that reality without naming it. "Ups and downs" is the safe, TV-friendly euphemism for the kind of volatility she’s lived publicly - reinvention, scrutiny, the constant negotiation between persona and person.
The subtext is also commercial in a way that feels honest rather than cynical: her emotional vocabulary is inseparable from her work. She processes relationships through songwriting, then circles back and uses the song as evidence of a consistent inner life. In a world that keeps treating pop stars as either products or cautionary tales, Cyrus stakes out a third lane: someone who has been both, and still wants the ordinary human thing - a friend who doesn’t treat her life like content.
