For Noah Cyrus, it’s taken a while to find the style that best defines who she is. “I felt a little bit uncomfortable in my own body because I felt like a lot of people were judging it, and I wanted to hide myself at such a young age,” the “I Burned LA Down” singer told PopBuzz (via YouTube). “That’s kind of sad for such a young girl.”
But as she’s grown older, Cyrus has come to understand how she was “born into this” and is starting to “come to terms with everything that affected” her when she was young, as she told the Evening Standard. One of these things was joining social media at a young age, where she was consistently trolled for her looks. “It made me look in a mirror in the morning and cry,” she told the outlet. “I stopped reading the comments when I was about 17, but the damage had already been done.”
These experiences have obviously weaved their way into her music, and for good reason. “A whole world has seen me grow up, and if I can help that world by speaking about mental health and what it is like, for example, growing up with body dysmorphia, then I want to do that,” Cyrus told NME. Because of these experiences, the singer-songwriter has grown stronger and more confident in herself and her appearance.
