Childhood Dreams and Career Inspiration

During their intimate conversation, shared via Instagram on January 27, Cyrus, 32, made a touching revelation about her childhood aspirations. “Ever since I was little, it was only Pam when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up,” she confessed.

Evolution and Personal Growth

The conversation delved deep into both artists’ career transformations. Cyrus reflected on her own journey, acknowledging the various “pivots and evolutions” that have shaped her career path.
