[Applause] our first guest is uh 17 years old Isn't that remarkable 17 years I'm like a hundred
when I was 17 I had a paper I had a paper route uh she has sold more than 15 million records oh
my goodness this is her brand new CD entitled it can't be tamed which will be available June
21st ladies and gentlemen here's the lovely The Talented Miley Cyrus nice to meet you welcome to
the show thank you nice to meet you yeah thanks you know I think of you as a kid but uh you're
more than a kid but you are a kid right yes tell me some kid things that you do has has the the
kid part of you gone or is it still there um no I I'm still a kid I still do a good thing
I think I I said something the other day like in an interview and I was talking I was like
for anyone that says you know she's growing up too quick doesn't know me personally because you
know I am an Entertainer and my show is you know mature for what I do in concert or whatever but
as my normal self I'm pretty crazy my mom was just yelling at me a little while ago so it's
all good oh she yelling well actually no you know what's weird because I was late but it was I was
dreaming of her yelling at me and it was really weird Madonna was yelling at me and my mom was
yelling at me yeah and then my mom was really yelling at me in real life to wake up so I was
like is this a dream is this weird I was like this is really weird because my mom's yelling
at me in both real life and my dreams you know what else is weird Madonna has actually yelled
at me good actually yelled at me not a dream at all in my dream I was happy I was like Mom but
Donna was yelling at me and she's like good you deserve to get yelled at you're a brat and then
she was like wake up you got 10 minutes let's go and then I was like confused yeah so yeah
like my impression of my mom my mom doesn't talk anything like that that's all right we don't care
um well uh uh what do you want to talk about I'm sure you're tired of talking about how you
uh there's a tremendous career began and and I know that you used to run out on stage when
your father uh would be performing in concert what led up to that what what you were always
singing around the house that kind of thing yeah well I have a little brother who's just like a
year younger what's his name Brazen yeah so now Brazen yeah like raisin and my dad want to name
him Cochise after an Indian and because my dad's obsessed with uh Indians and so my mom want to
name him Brazen my brother was like great I went from dairy to a dried fruit so my brother's always
like I hate my parents I hate my parents but I like the same because it actually means courage
so that's kind of cool but anyways enough about my brothers about me and my brother so
my brother listened to me sing all the time and then I would escape from my nanny and Go sing at
my dad's concerts and what was it always going to be a country music was that there's no no question
about that that was your dream to perform country music or just a popular music altogether I kind of
well when I was younger my dad you know obviously when I was around a lot of country singers and
whatever so that's what was more available to me but I just started getting into well when I got
Hannah Montana it was more pop-based music and that's kind of what I found out when we were a
kid other than your father who did you look up to in the world of Music popular music country music
whatever I loved I was always a big Johnny Cash band from my dad but then my dad always played
things like Joan Jett which I love and still love so he kind of played that kind of stuff
and then I remember going to buy my very first CD which is like Britney Spears Hit Me Baby One
More Time then I was like oh I like pop music and I started getting into pop music and like
you know my mom always had me in dance so that's what I always cheered to and dance to and all that
but I kind of like doing a mixture of both so a little bit our lives are so similar I can't get
over it all right yes okay especially actually the early years very similar backgrounds yeah
yeah now tell me about this because you're a kid and I know you're a kid uh so you
probably uh Twitter and stuff right no you don't Twitter I hate Twitter really sorry
yeah because everybody hates me too but it's all good everybody's trying to get
me to to start twittering and I don't know what to say well no you already
have a show so you don't need a Twitter see that's what I think that's what I think yes
thank you
what kind of things would you Twitter when you I mean in my case it would be oh I think I'm having
chest pains nobody nobody nobody wants that I had a Twitter for a little while and uh the
things that I look back and write like I someone was making fun of me and some skit the other day
where I was like I lost my lucky bracelet two minutes later woohoo I found my lucky bracelet
I'm like oh my God can I think of something a little more interesting but it was just but that's
what it is isn't that isn't that the year because I'm like you can't complain about like oh I don't
have a private life and I'm so upset Paparazzi following me she's gonna tell them where you're
going like yeah paparazzi's gonna find you when you say like I'm at McDonald's you're going to
be there but see I is just sitting here talking to you uh you don't seem like a 17 year old you
see you seem like you have matured through the process of Performing as a kid you've grown up
yeah I think well and one wonders and I'll ask the question again too quickly perhaps anything you
miss about a childhood that you lost have you lost a childhood I don't think so I've gone through
awesome you know awesome things and I've gotten to reform and do what I love so for me that's what
I've always wanted to do and are you looking for the warmth the spotlight can't provide no
[Laughter]
when you were coming into the theater earlier today a lot of folks out there huge crowd look
at this they're all excited to see you wait a minute [Applause]
our announcer I'm sorry about that now uh you're not you're not married I know you're not married
17 you don't want to be married are you married you're not married no I'm not married dating
anybody a dating again yeah I have a boyfriend what's he do what's his deal he's an actor so
is he like on TV or in films yeah he was in the last song with me oh yeah yeah Liam Liam yeah but
I don't know it's kind of easy to fall in love with someone on Nicholas sparksman because the
lines are like kind of perfect and someone asked me like our favorite date ever and I said it and
then I was like that was scripted so I don't know if that counts but yeah it was pretty cool the
first day but yeah so so you represent a popular culture I mean you really there's a handful of
people that represent like before you came on the show you'd never heard of me had you no well
yeah of course yeah
um now you you are you're not in school are you in school you got to be in school I'm homeschooled
oh well yeah like tour bus playing schools whatever it is no no what kind of courses do
you take when you're be you're being tutored right yeah well my favorite class is music
because right obviously well you got that sure counting a school when I'm performing but then
I do right now I was this morning I was learning about South Africa because I'm trying to plan a
trip to go there so my teacher seemed with that but I'm finishing 11th grade in like
two weeks and then I'm starting 12th grade and just powering through 12th grade that's
a senior in high school 12th grade would be senior yeah so so you're finishing up with
a junior so you get the summer off you'll be running around doing stuff working your touring
well I'm shooting a movie so I'm just gonna while I'm shooting a movie since my teacher
has to be there anyways we're just gonna are you getting a quality education I think so
we I had this conversation I think that I get a good a great education because I'm like instead
of being in a class of 20 people where some people may get it and some people are still
clueless you don't have to move on just because the whole class is I can like focus and also on
things that I think are really important no wait a minute I take offense at that because I was always
the clueless part of the class and see you know what I mean yeah they kept moving on too quickly
I don't like that but you got through it so yeah yeah you don't smoke do you no have you seen
that smoking baby thing in the uh there's a baby that smokes yeah we got it right here yeah where
it's not real well how can that not be real we got a kid
is that like a movie or something well look it's
the kids smoking huh yeah pick up some Pampers chain smoking
now uh you're you're a very lucky young woman because your family is working with you in in
your career in your dream this is a dream or you're living a dream now uh say one day you
get uh married and have children of your own would you want to replicate a similar thing for the kids
well well has no
she's she's amazing can we talk about her what's her Noah Noah oh yeah but she's we've
gotten her involved she loves horses and she loves dance so we're trying to keep her more
on that kind of stuff because I think you definitely have to be super strong which
she is but it's just really hard I think you do you don't I don't I don't think I've missed
out on anything but I think it is it's hard you know with you know comments and growing
up and I mean it's the kind of thing that's so hard that maybe only a 17 year old could
do it really but yeah I mean you got to have that energy there's just a handful of people
that have you know when you're one of them yeah you and I are probably no two that's it you and
me the only two seven the two 17 year old girls that made it me and you so foreign that's right
all the 17 year old girls really look up to us don't they yeah it's an honor to be where we are
so thank you yes uh well it's great fun to have here are you singing on the program tonight yes
oh that's great tell us what you're singing something from the new thing new single Can't
Be Tamed yeah and who tell us about the group you have with us is your regular band is that who's
going to perform and you guys travel together you in the band how many people in the band I think
there's like seven of us seven that's a good group it's a good group are they all friends uh you know
sometimes we have we we all get along well yeah yeah who's who select who selected the band did
you select them or your father select them or you both select them how do you pick a good band well
I selected my music director Stacy who I've been working with for a long time and he's here with
me today he's also my drummer so once we found him and he was kind of like the perfect guy to
work with us on the music oh that's good and we auditioned them and whatever but I just trusted
what he said was right Paul any questions how long have you had this band uh probably I think like
four years five years four years and do you ever just lip sync in concert and not really sing live
on YouTube that you me because half the comments are like she sounds like
I'm like at least I'm singing live that's the point absolutely God loves Miley Cyrus good for
you thank you so much thank you so much thank you nice to meet you yeah Miley Cyrus [Music]
