Miley shows commitment to democracy 

Miley’s public image has dramatically changed since her days as Hannah Montana. However, the actress has shown she does care about her country, and she is willing to use her privileged position as a famous actress and singer to raise awareness, especially among youth, about the importance to smartly participate in the upcoming presidential election.

“Miley is someone who is making a difference and we need more remarkable women to stand up and do just that,” said Katherine Quigley, 19, a sophomore at GMU. “She and I bonded over being from a very country town. Miley really is just a sweet educated country girl” she added.

Though she described herself as a conservative Republican, she admitted that she didn’t feel the pressure of Miley’s support for Hillary. As well, she said that no one on the floor knew that the superstar was going to the dorms, but she clarified that even though she is not a super fan, it was an honor having Miley there.

“She wanted to talk one-on-one to student leaders” added Quigley who is part of the Leadership and Community Engagement living Learning community that discusses about social justice.” she added.

As well, it is not the first time that Miley has cared about social issues. Her ‘The Happy Hippie Foundation’ works to fight injustices faced by homeless LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations. As well, PETA named Cyrus the “Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity” in 2015.
