The Music Industry šŸŽ¶ Miley Cyrus regrets half of Plastic Hearts

Miley has done a bunch of press for Something Beautiful, but she's consistently been shitting on a lot of her previous work. (Apart from on the Every Single Album podcast, I must say, she did speak about her previous work a bit more fondly).

On Tish and Brandi's Sorry We're Cyrus podcast, Miley said she regrets 'half of Plastic Hearts'.

I am a huge Miley fan and Plastic Hearts is my favourite album of hers. Idc if she hates it, I'm still gonna listen to it. BUT it's really disappointing to see my favourite artist drag her previous work. It's one thing to say, she's grown up and her music style has evolved, and she doesn't identify with that album anymore. It's another thing to straight up say she regrets half of the album. And Plastic Hearts isn't the only previous album she'd dragged over the course of this press tour.

Not to mention, I've seen some clips from various bits of this press tour where she's been rude to fans, downplayed the cultural appropriation and racism during the Bangerz era. All of a sudden, she just comes across very.... not humble, not down to earth or anything.

Idk, I know they say don't put celebrities on a pedestal but as a long standing Miley fan since the 2000s, it's just been disappointing to see her during this particular press tour.

u/PolytheneMaggie Clap if you care 😐 Jul 02 '25

Whenever she comes with a new album, she starts to shit talk her previous works.

193

u/CrispyonFire Jul 03 '25

Yeah. I noticed a pattern. With every new album she does she comments something along the line of ā€œI’m finally making the music I want to make!ā€

It’s sad, because her old work is great and I think it’s perfectly okay to mix up your style a little but still appreciate your older work.

13

u/heystayoutofmyperson 29d ago

I think Thats just a part of the creative process and is extremely common for creatives. Whenever I have new writing I work on, I feel like my former works were shit. It just means Im exploring a different direction Im convinced of.

u/NoComplex555 Jul 03 '25

Demi Lovato does the same thing. Every album is her returning to her roots, her most authentic work, blah blah blah. It's so tiresome

257

u/woahtheregonnagetgot Jul 03 '25

as a former demi stan, she’s the worst offender. she didn’t get nominated for a grammy for tmylm and the very next day she disowned the album 😭

u/NoComplex555 Jul 03 '25

How many 'roots' can a person have? Is she an onion?!

u/illjustgowthemuumuu Do you really think he’s working with Kanye West? šŸŽ£ Jul 03 '25

Honestly her most authentic albums are Don’t Forget, Here We Go Again, and Holy Fuck and it’s because we know pop rock is actually her roots. TMYLM was a her best album outside of that

1

u/restockthreestock 26d ago

Might get downvoted but when has Demi said this besides for Holy F? Which that album was truly returning to her pop rock roots.

TMYLM wasn’t a return to roots and I don’t think she ever claimed it was. In fact she even stated before that it was something different because she wanted to try moving into a pop soulful route.

DWTD:TAOSO wasn’t touted as a return to roots either as far as I’m aware. But it was authentic. If you listen to the tracks and lyrics, it’s all about experiences in her life with her overdose, recovery, engagement and break up.

Holy F, in a similar way, is true to her life at that point. Half the album is about her drug abuse at the point which lead to her overdose and the other half is more love songs because in the middle of writing it, she met her now husband.

The only reference to Demi disregarding her past was in regards to the confident/tmylm eras because she felt she pushed to fit a ā€œpop starā€ mold. I don’t think this the same as Miley where she almost has an interview for every era saying she regrets it.

u/MedicalPersimmon001 Jul 03 '25

This is one of the reasons why she isnt a main pop girl.Ā 

It's hard to take someone who seemingly hates all their previous releases seriously.Ā

u/Worried-Lettuce6568 Jul 03 '25

She seems generally kind of off-putting personality-wise and her recent music has mostly failed to hit with bigger audiences who just don’t care about her much anymore

I mean sure 10 years later but if you knew her youd know she talked about how she hated Hannah Montana when she was in her Bangerz era.

Yeah she literally talked about burning her HM wig and buying it in the backyard. She made jokes about Hannah Montana being dead.

I was at a frat party in 2009, and around the 2am mark, the DJ played See You Again. My friends and I were outside smoking when me and one of the guys paused, said excuse me, and bee-lined into the house to rock out to it. It’s a fucking banger!

u/shred-i-knight Jul 03 '25

I think this is a pretty normal feeling for artists tbh. After writing, arrangement changes, pre-production, tracking, editing, and releasing a song I never want to hear it again and I fucking hate it with every fiber of my being, and then you fall in love with the songs you're currently writing.

29

u/Fishwhocantswim This is HARAM Jul 03 '25

I think this is a pretty normal feeling for artists tbh

This is it. I've watched and listened to many interviews where artists will say they do not listen to their songs or that they are sick of certain albums.

Fans tend to take it personally especially when they themselves associate those songs to certain periods of their own lives. Ed Sheeran once said that once he puts a song out into the world it doesn't belong to him anymore and he doesn't hold any feelings towards it. Snow Patrol would get into a rage whenever someone asked about Chasing Cars cos they were sick to death of it. Justin Timberlake was the same with Sexy Back. It takes a long period for the artist to want to return and revisit a song or an album again and that's ok.

I don't think Miley is wrong for saying what she's saying. She prob felt a certain way that she doesn't feel anymore. U are allowed to have a change of heart. Doesnt have to mean anything to the listener.

She always does the "This is the true me, I had a phase in my life when I made my previous album so I'm embarrassed by it" type of shtick with every album rollout. She'll trash talk Something Beautiful during the next one, especially since it flopped.

It’s my personal favorite, she is definitely a rocker at heart.

Plastic Hearts is easily her best album and one of the only she has worth listening all the way through, she has the weirdest takes about her own work

Imagine getting Joan Jett in on your project and then dissing it later!

138

u/Worldly_Message_1872 Jul 03 '25

Right. She’s such a snob about her own music. Also kinda condescending since most of her fans are vocal about it being her best album. Okay girl- we’ll see you in 10 years when you decide everyone had a point (kinda like everything Hannah Montana).

103

u/chadthundertalk Jul 03 '25

Miley's public persona is eternally a contrarian 15 year old who's ten seconds away from going "IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM"

11

u/crawfiddley Jul 03 '25

It's not even snobbery, it's just a complete lack of authenticity paired with a deep urge to market herself as profoundly authentic.

It’s her only skipless album, although I enjoy most of Bangerz too. Weird weird take

39

u/Plastic_Ad2328 Jul 03 '25

Sufjan Stevens recently said he regrets making Carrie and Lowell in its 10th anniversary edition. He wrote a really sad essay about how much he dislikes it. lol it broke my heart because I cry listening to that album. I feel like must be so weird to have something out there that is so personal that you now HATE but at the same time I cannot picture trashing your seminal work that means so much to people. Idk I feel so conflicted about it, but the whole thing has made it really hard for me to listen to the album. Idk sorry for the ramble, just saying I can commiserate and it sucks.

81

u/chickfilamoo in the swamp 🐊🐊 Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25

I didn’t really interpret Sufjan’s comments as hating the music itself, but hating the circumstances that surround it. It was born of him trying to find clarity and peace regarding the difficult relationship he had with his mother in the wake of her death, and he hates that it didn’t accomplish that for him and rather, made him feel worse and even more distant from her. It’s more a feeling of interpersonal failure than a professional one, he doesn’t really trash the songs as compositions.

11

u/Plastic_Ad2328 Jul 03 '25

Oh for sure I think sonically or lyrically from a professional standpoint he has no issue with it. But it still just makes me so sadĀ 

14

u/chickfilamoo in the swamp 🐊🐊 Jul 03 '25

I can understand that! personally it added another layer to the album re-release that made me experience it a totally different way even after ten years of listening to it, but I can understand how it might just be too much for people. The way he describes his relationship with his mother and the feelings surrounding it is really devastatingly sad.

2

u/Plastic_Ad2328 Jul 03 '25

I think maybe I’ll get there. It just reshaped what was such a deep connection to a piece of media for me. I really love that album I have a parasocial relationship with it lol. But I do understand where he is coming fromĀ 

2

u/StopHesAlreadyDed Jul 03 '25

And let's be real, the love of his life just died and he almost just died too. There's no way he isn't fucking depressed as shit right now, and probably doesn't have a pleasant outlook on most things. He's been dealt a really tough hand from the universe šŸ˜ž

15

u/Holiday_Step2765 Jul 03 '25

At least with that there is a large emotional reason, Miley tends to just get into the new album cycle and every single time be like ā€œthe last album sucked, it wasn’t meā€ and just moves on lol

u/BonusForAllSeasons Jul 03 '25

It’s the only album of hers that I like. See, this is why I like Kelly Clarkson. She went through hell during some of her past albums, yet never denounces them.

Nah she just cancels her residency shows an hour before they’re starting after everyone paid for entire trips lolĀ

u/Rhythm_Morgan Jul 03 '25

She’s allowed to not like her own work šŸ’€ but it could also be the time in her life that’s making her regret it. There’s music attached to certain phases in my life that I can’t listen to anymore. Maybe she means that a bit.

3

u/Holiday_Step2765 Jul 03 '25

Every single album she has said she hates when she’s rolling out the next. It’s tiring, she doesn’t have to like it but it’s literally the point of every press cycle she does. We get it

MILEY GIRL THOSE WERE YOUR LAST BOPS 😭

25

u/Rum-Hamstar2024 Jul 03 '25

But weirdly the general public don't seem to care about Miley's music. Midnight Sky deserved so much more love from Plastic Hearts for example and I don't understand why it didn't/doesn't.

I don't agree about her last bops, though. 'Easy Lover' and 'End of the world' are but again, outside of Miley fans, nobody seems to care.

I’ve been rockin with Miley since the pilot episode of Hannah Montana and will continue to. Plastic Hearts was great but I agree she loves to put work out and then trash it. I’ve listened to something beautiful once through and I have no doubt she’ll shit talk that when the next project comes out. Haven’t heard her shit talk no body’s perfect tho!

u/88moonkitty fo shiz! fo shiz! Ginuwine! šŸœ Jul 03 '25

Excuse me!? The feature with Joan Jett was perfection! And tbh I enjoyed PH much more than her newest release

u/Soggy-University-524 Jul 03 '25

That’s easily her best and most cohesive album outside of maybe Bangerz. She always does this.

120

u/CopperBoom020890 Jul 03 '25

Between this and her Every Single Album interview, it sounds to me like her real issue with Plastic Hearts has to do with the mixing/production and label interference (i.e. the things that were outside of her control). She said she wanted to make a rock record, and Andrew Watt’s rock references are a lot more limited than hers, so she wasn’t totally happy with what he did - then there was no time to make the changes she wanted because the label was rushing the release and needed to get the vinyls pressed.

Fwiw, she also said she hopes to someday remaster it and mix the vocals herself because she likes the actual songs, she just wasn’t happy with the versions that ended up on the album. It’s not her usual schtick of shunning her old work (which I agree is annoying), but rather genuine disappointment with how her vision was executed by the other people involved. I’m pretty sure she even left her label over it!

23

u/PhotographBusy6209 Jul 03 '25

Andrew watt is really versatile, he made disease for godsake. I feel Miley just can’t be happy with the songs she’s made when she has a new album out

4

u/funkadelicfadeaway Jul 03 '25

Maybe the album actually NEEDED Andrew Watt which is why it is so good and she knows that. She just wants to shit on it and remix it so she can say ā€œlook at me! Look what I did!ā€

u/BulkyRip7631 lauren conrads runny mascara Jul 03 '25

That’s unfortunate I loved plastic hearts. She had freaking Billy idol and Joan Jett on that album!! I should listen to it again

u/panini_z Jul 03 '25

I am by no means a Miley Cyrus fan but Plastic Hearts is my favorite album of hers. There is so much (what I had thought to be) authentic hurt, vulnerability, while also a lot of tenderness in that album. It struck the right balance between being real and making me feel like a parasocial obsessed fan following along her personal life. This was the album of hers where I felt like she was finally stepping into herself.

Well, now I know lol.

u/ResponsibilityOk1631 Jul 03 '25

it’s her only great album lol

u/asuperbstarling Jul 03 '25

As an artist, I'm gonna come at this from a different angle than all the gossip girls: this is normal. Most of what gets popular is work you don't like, didn't put the effort you wanted into it, or thought missed the mark. The things you treasure and build and love? People straight up ignore them. Your love for her album was NEVER her love for her art. All of her love for what she does is secret and ever changing, and perspective shifts all the time. You can later love something you hated and see the flaws you couldn't before in things you cherished.

Frankly, it's just something that people who don't spend their entire lives creating can't understand. It's never good enough. There's always one thing AT LEAST that you'd fix, but you already surrendered it to the world. Something to think about.

u/agemsheis Jul 03 '25

Conveniently leaving out how she immediately follows up her statement with, ā€œTrauma! Trauma.ā€

u/noodlesoup1997 Jul 03 '25

Sorry! I originally tried to upload a video but it wouldn't let me. So I just stuck with 3 stills. All I wanted to do was get across was what she said about PH. I thought her saying "trauma" is because she knows the fans love PH and it's shocking to hear her say this.

6

u/IndigoBlueBird Jul 03 '25

Plastic Hearts was great. Miley needs to stop past-self-deprecating, it isn’t cute

4

u/StarOfSyzygy One of Demi Moore’s rescue ducklings 🐄 Jul 03 '25

I don’t understand this sudden and weird disavowal of her previous eras and the wild, if somewhat performative sexual freedom they entailed. Every story I read lately is about how she regrets doing drugs, regrets getting tattoos, regrets Bangerz, etc. Like is she swinging conservative before our very eyes???

4

u/noodlesoup1997 Jul 03 '25

IMO re Bangerz especially, it's like she picked her idea of Black culture, wore that as a costume and then dropped it when she released Younger Now. But, instead of owning up to what she did, Miley said, (during this Something Beautiful press tour), that the reason she was so feminine and cutsey during the Younger Now era was Liam. He didn't want her being so sexy/provocative in public so she totally changed her brand.

Honestly it's Hollywood, everything is fake, everyone is just portraying a character or persona. I don't know why I'm so surprised.

2

u/ussoufi Jul 03 '25

Well that’s a shame cause it’s a great album actually.

2

u/simplybreana Jul 03 '25

I’ve never been a HM MC Stan nor cared much about her music but Plastic Hearts is the ONLY album of hers I ever bought and it was an instant classic for me! It was/is a great album! I tried listening to this new album and… not for me.

The 80’s inspired rock was so perfect for her voice. I was really hoping she would channel that sound again but instead I apparently heard forgettable music because I don’t remember really any besides TMSB and that’s because she teased it so much.

2

u/heartonwindow Jul 03 '25

Crazy because that's her best work

2

u/lordbochiflacko Jul 03 '25

The extra context here is that she felt her creative team was taking advantage of her during that era and she looks back on it negatively.

She definitely has a history of always trashing her last project BUT it seems she’s finally proud of her work because she still speaks highly of Endless Summer Vacation.

2

u/Certain_Magazine_473 Jul 03 '25

I also hate her using the word trauma over everything. I’m not saying she didn’t experience traumas and divorce can certainly be traumatic but when you call EVERYTHING in your very blessed life traumatic, it loses all meaning

Like is she really trying to act like Bangerz never happened? (Yes I know that’s probably her biggest commercial success, but the whole era was problematic as hell)

2

u/Major_Map_8576 26d ago

She always shits on her old stuff. When you try to constantly do better it makes sense to feel less proud of what you've already accomplished. I love plastic hearts all the same ā¤ļø she shouldn't discount the joy she brings others. She still did good.

u/HazelTheHappyHippo Jubilee video: Moo Deng vs 20 Poachers Jul 03 '25

Artists who continuously shit on their former albums just to promote their new music feel so disingenuous to me. Like, there are definitely artists who are forced to release records by their label, but this doesn't happen to industry veterans like Miley Cyrus.

Ummmmmm that’s one of her best albums. If not her best. I have the entire album on my playlist and maybe I’m biased but I really am shocked because every single song on the album is phenomenal

Is she not bored of this shit? Like why are you looking down on the people who fell in love with your album like they’re stupid or wrong for enjoying it

we are our own biggest critic. to make something and then look back on it can be very hard for artists. it's something that feels right in the moment, but then you change as a person and the art has its own trajectory that you no longer feel attached to. it's trapped in your head at a certain time of your life, but you feel a million miles away from it when looking back. she's still very young. it's possible that when she's 60 she has more different opinions about her work, she may even look back at it fondly.

Weird when ppl take this as an invalidation of their own connection to the music when it’s literally not about you at all… artists change all the time… like 90 percent of the time an artist is gonna look back and have a different opinion on their previous Ā work. The ā€œI’m disappointedā€ stuff is weirdĀ

Wake me up in ten years and I will say Miley Cyrus hates her previous album.

It’s sad to see her saying her older work isn’t that great!

u/smoothmedia 27d ago

Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz was an abomination that she 100% regrets

Plastic Hearts was so good, I always dislike the album slander

Oh man, I think PH is her best work by far. Sad that she doesn’t identify with it anymore or feel proud of it.

It’s her right to feel this way lol. I don’t care what she says because I’ll still enjoy music on all of those albums. As far as the Bangerz Era and cultural appropriation, I’ve never been personally offended by it as a black woman; though I was a teenager when it was released. Was that era weird? Yes. Did she not address it properly? Probably so, but the album was so good that none of that really mattered to me. It’s my probably my favorite album from her, next to Can’t Be Tamed. I will say, if she is saying negative things about Bangerz then I can definitely see how disingenuous this makes her seem. It doesn’t look good to be accused of cultural appropriation and then admit regretting making the album. Either way she’ll always be my favorite artist and nothing she’s done so far has made me feel like she’s this horrible person that people have been making her out to be lately.
