Actress and singer Miley Ray Cyrus was born on November 23, 1992, in Tennessee, USA.
The second daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, she played a regular role in her father's television series "Doc." She also had a minor role in Tim Burton's 2003 film "Big Fish," and her acting career began at a young age.
Her turning point came in 2006, when she starred in the TV series "Hannah Montana." Her role as the lead character, Miley Stewart, achieved the highest viewership ratings ever for a Disney Channel original series. Furthermore, the album she released under the pseudonym "Hannah Montana," the idol star she played in the show, debuted at number one on the US charts. This was the first time a TV show soundtrack had achieved this feat, further demonstrating Miley's popularity in the United States. Her second album, released in 2007, featured numerous tracks under the names of Miley and Hannah. These two albums achieved astounding sales of over 10 million copies worldwide. That same year, her "Best of Both Worlds" tour sold out completely, and the following year, a 3D film capturing the tour and behind-the-scenes footage, "Hannah Montana: The Concert 3D," was released. It reached number one at the US box office. Furthermore, the film "Hannah Montana: The Movie," released in 2009, also reached number one at the US box office, and the soundtrack album also reached number one on the US charts. Meanwhile, in 2008, Miley Cyrus released her debut album, "Breakout," which sold 2 million copies worldwide and debuted at number one on Japan's Oricon Western Music Chart. Since then, she has focused on her career as a singer, releasing her first single, "Party in the U.S.A.", in 2009. She broke numerous sales records that year, including reaching number one on the US singles chart. Her first world tour in two years included 54 shows in the US alone, drawing 16,196 fans to London's O2 Arena, breaking Bon Jovi's attendance record.

Miley subsequently began to perform increasingly provocative performances, and in 2013, she performed a "twerking" dance at the MTV Video Music Awards, involving legs apart and hips vigorously shaking. This departure from idol-inspired style garnered attention, and her fourth album, "Bangerz," released that same year, reached number one in the US and other charts. For her 2014 tour, she wore costumes by Roberto Cavalli, showcasing her sexy jumpsuits. In her private life, she was in a relationship with Liam Hemsworth, with whom she co-starred in the 2010 film The Last Song, and they became engaged in 2012, but broke up the following year.
