Miley Cyrus: You’re opening a door and you want to let people in

An interesting conversation by Miley Cyrus and Mickey Guyton in Rolling Stone about being first and/or only. Guyton talks about her experience of being a black country singer: "There’s this box that women in country music are supposed to fit in, but then add on a Black woman in that box and that box is even smaller. I was given this little tiny box that was allotted to me to make some noise, but not too much noise. And it was suffocating". Cyrus goes on about country radio: "That’s making you very vulnerable, relying on radio or on loyalty or people doing the right thing. Never bet on anyone doing the right thing. That’s my best advice".
