In a preview clip from an upcoming CBS Sunday Morning interview, the Grammy-winning superstar looked back on facing backlash throughout her career and how she feels about it now.
"I was the first person to maybe ever be canceled, I guess," said Cyrus, 32, who became a controversial figure in pop culture as she transitioned from a famous child on Hannah Montana to an adult.
"Well, you know, I didn’t know until I was older, actually, how brutal it really was, ‘cause it was very, I guess, you know, challenging for other people," she continued. "But for me, it was a good time. It looked fun, and it was fun."
It's unclear what exactly Cyrus is referring to when discussing criticism. But she's faced quite a bit of it, from holding a pole on an ice cream truck during a 2009 Teen Choice Awards performance to a leaked video of her smoking from a bong the following year.
The Something Beautiful artist faced more backlash as she drastically changed her image for 2013's Bangerz era, went nude in the "Wrecking Ball" music video and sang lyrics about drug and alcohol use on songs like "We Can't Stop."
"It wasn’t until I was older that I realized how harsh [the criticism was] and, you know, it just — I would never now, being where I am, ever look at someone in their 20s from the view of who I am now," Cyrus told CBS Sunday Morning. "So, I think it was that. But at the time, it was awesome."
