** The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (October 1, 2015)
* My dreams have become nightmares & those nightmares , reality ... This isn't fair , this isn't right , this isn't just , this isn't human! This is a TERRORIST act by a WHITE AMERICAN MAN! I am heartbroken & embarrassed. Mortified by our country & its shitty system , lack of control/laws! This does NOT HAVE or NEED to happen! It's devastatingly disgusting! This is exactly why the lyrics of Bad Mood were so important for me to share on a major platform. I wanted to bring awareness to the fact that everyday we are waking up to more terrifyingly painful information that makes it nearly impossible to feel optimistic that things are going to change! They say it gets worst before it gets better in some cases & I wish on every star that this is the worst of it! I continue to be hopeful that enough is enough and the eyes of the ignorant will open and realize that (gun) VIOLENCE has to stop! This assholes Facebook profile photo was a fucking riffle ! "I don't know how much more it can take!" #FuckGuns #FuckViolence 🚫💔🚫💔 My love is with you TX!
** About the Sutherland Springs church shooting, as quoted in Miley Cyrus’s Texas Church Shooting Instagrams Cause Controversy (November 7, 2017) By Allie Gemmill, Teen Vogue.
* I am aghast by the reaction of my latest post, it is completely amazing to me how defensive and in denial this country really is! You are not focused on the horrific tragedy I addressed but more angered that I am putting a BIG bright spotlight on the fact it was a 'WHITE AMERICAN MALE' terrorist that walked in & killed 26 people (including children) leaving 20 severely injured ! All of a sudden .... ' we are all equal ' 'human is human' 'skin color doesn't matter ' (NOW neither does gender) 'makes no difference if they were male or female' ...... BUT those things absolutely matter when ... someone completely legitimate is running for president (versus someone who isn't) , when a car runs over innocent people while professing their love to a GOD different from yours , it sure matters to the cops when they beat or even kill innocent people of color , it even matters at the airport/on an airplane or in immigration when folks are completely profiled & judged for their background . NOW it doesn't matter if someone is a man or woman?

## Song lyrics

* You used to call me your dreamer, And now I'm living out my dreams; Oh, how I wish you could see, Everything that's happening for me.
** I Miss You, her character's guitar piece for Hannah Montana and in reality dedicated to her late grandfather Ron Cyrus

** The Climb, her character's guitar piece for Hannah Montana: The Movie and dedicated to her father Billy Ray Cyrus
* The last time I freaked out I just kept looking down. I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout. Felt like I couldn't breathe, you asked what's wrong with me. My best friend Lesley says "Oh, she's just being Miley."
** See You Again, her first hit song
* I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan. Welcome to the land of fame excess - am I going to fit in? I jump into the cab, here I am for the first time, I look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign.
** Party in the USA, her second hit song
* You love me for who I am Like the stars hold the moon Right there where they belong And I know I'm not alone
