Miley Cyrus questions 'role model' Taylor Swift
She made the claim in an eccentric interview with Marie Claire.
Miley Cyrus has questioned why Taylor Swift is seen as a better role model than her...
In an interview with Marie Claire, Cyrus (known for eccentric behaviour and public displays of nudity) wants to know why sex is seen as more taboo than violence. The singer claimed she struggles to see the difference between her behaviour and that of Swift's in the hugely popular video for 'Bad Blood'.
"I don't get the violence revenge thing?" said Cyrus referring to Taylor's video. "That's supposed to be a good example? And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my breasts out? I'm not sure how breasts are worse than guns."
Never one to censor herself, Cyrus feels 'Bad Blood' is potentially damaging for a young pop fan due to it's revenge plot line and violent imagery. The video features a gang of female celebrities, from Selena Gomez to Cara Delevigne, plot revenge against a former friend - who's rumoured to be Katy Perry, but that's a whole other story! The video contains violent fight scenes and numerous references to guns.
In the rest of the interview, Miley discussed the unfair treatment of women in the music industry, "there is so much sexism, ageism, you name it." she claimed. "Kendrick Lamar sings about LSD and he's cool. I do it and I'm a druggie w**re."
Role model or no role model, the 'We Can't Stop' singer is not about to clean up her act anytime soon. "There's nothing left to catch me doing," according to her. "You wnat to hack my email so you can find my nude pictures? I'll just f**king put them up."
Miley is due to host the MTV Video Music Awards in LA on 30th August. She recently promoted her role as presenter in a topless video...
