"I have an opinion. I have my own taste"
About this Quote
The subtext is a career spent being treated like a product with a remote control. Cyrus grew up inside an image factory where fans, parents, labels, and tabloids all had a vote - often louder than hers. When she says “my own,” she’s pushing back against a culture that reads young female pop stars as communal property: dress them up, tear them down, then demand “authenticity” on command. Taste is the one thing the public can’t credibly litigate, yet they try anyway, especially when a woman’s taste becomes sexual, strange, or loud.
Context matters because Cyrus has made a sport out of reinvention. Each era invites a chorus of “What happened to her?” This line refuses the premise. It frames her shifts not as breakdowns or publicity stunts, but as authorship. Not “understand me,” just “I’m allowed.” That’s a small sentence with a big cultural target.
