Miley Cyrus thinks it’s “so amazing” she’s had an “impactful” influence on Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo

Miley Cyrus has reflected on the impact that her career has had on younger musicians including Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo – see what she had to say below.

Cyrus, who has amassed several tracks that have crossed a billion streams on Spotify, spoke to her sister Brandi for Spotify’s Billions Club in a new video that was shared via Billboard.

In the video, Brandi asked what it was like to have Carpenter, Roan and Rodrigo look up to her, and to have grown up with Miley through her time on Disney‘s Hannah Montana. Miley replied: “At the time, you never think about in the future someone replicating what you do. You’re just doing it because it’s honest in the moment so now to see that impacting culture is something that I didn’t know that I wanted, but I guess I do.”

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer continued: “I have my own artists that have created who I am, like a Stevie Nicks or Dolly Parton or Tina Turner. Even though they kind of look up to me in the way that I’ve looked up to these other women, it’s really important that they do it their own way, because that’s what my career has represented above all else, is that even though I have always looked to these influences, I’ve always done it my own way.

“So I think the freedom that I’ve kind of given these other artists to be themselves, do it proud and loud, it’s just amazing to watch that kind of be so impactful and influential,” she said to conclude the chat.

In the past, Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo – both of whom, like Miley Cyrus – got their starts as young actors on Disney Channel before breaking out into pop stardom, have shared their admiration for Cyrus and the foundation she’s laid for them.

For her part, Chappell Roan spoke of Cyrus’ influence in a video message for the former Hannah Montana star’s induction into the Disney Legends in August, saying: “The thing that I admire about Miley Cyrus is that she constantly reinvents herself and always works. For a lot of artists, it can seem inauthentic or out of the blue, but she’s very open about her transformations artistically and personally, and she’s so true to herself. She puts out music that is so authentic.

“Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana tour with Jonas Brothers opening was my first concert ever. She came down in a box from the ceiling. I was like, ‘How do I do that one day?’ I still think about it. I still think about the show. I want to be like Hannah Montana. There’s a lot of crossover between Miley and my project, and it’s just like, I’m such a fan too.”

Cyrus’ 2023 album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ scored a four-star review from Nick Levine, who wrote for NME: “‘Endless Summer Vacation’ certainly feels like an accurate reflection of who she is as an artist – and a person – in 2023. She’s still working out what she wants from a relationship. She knows she can pull off different musical styles even when she’s not trying to make bangers (or ‘Bangerz’). And when she sings “But don’t forget, baby I’m a wildcard” on the third-to-last song, you’ll definitely believe her.”
