Miley Cyrus: 'I Thought About Dropping My Last Name'
The singer opens up about her 'powerful' moniker…
Miley Cyrus has admitted that she once considered dropping her famous last name in a bid to escape people's misconceptions of her.
The 20-year-old told Notion magazine: "I was thinking about dropping the Cyrus and just being Miley but there's something powerful about the fact that my name now is like a household name."
The We Can't Stop singer continued: "People have this misconception of me that I'm just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I'm just this ratchet white girl, and I'm not."
Miley added: "I work really, really hard, I'm just in a different environment. I'm young and living in LA, which is everyone's dream, you know? I'm living it to the fullest.
"Rather than taking a blessing and making it a curse, it's just like this is what this name is now."
We told you earlier today about Miley hitting the number one spot on the UK iTunes chart with her party anthem We Can't Stop.
