Noah Cyrus Reflects on Big Sister Miley’s Influence as Her Music Career Rises

 Los Angeles, August 2025 — Singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus, now 25, recently opened up in an exclusive People interview about growing up alongside her superstar sister, Miley Cyrus, and how observing Miley’s journey became a valuable guide as Noah forged her own path in the music world.

Learning by Watching

Noah recalls feeling like a backstage observer during the Hannah Montana era—“I wasn’t even driving a car yet”—and having little awareness of the full magnitude of Miley’s rise. Yet as Miley evolved into a global icon, Noah began to see the challenges and pitfalls beneath the glamor: the pressures, mistakes, and career shifts. She explained: “Of course, there are situations that you experience, and you’re like, ‘Okay, I will keep that in mind for the future… if that happens to me, how do I handle it?’ I’ve had a great role model for how it all works.”

Noah didn’t lean on direct advice, but the lessons spoke volumes—teaching her not just what to do, but also what to avoid in the business.

A Creative Family Tapestry

Noah’s new album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me, released in July, is a heartfelt homage to her musical heritage. The album features contributions from four generations of her family:

• A hymn penned by her great-grandfather and sung by her grandfather opens “Apple Tree.”

• Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, contributed to his earliest songwriting on “With You.”

• Her brother Braison lends lyrics to “Don’t Put It All on Me,” a song inspired by Noah’s own experiences.

The familial threads running through the album reflect not only shared artistry but also emotional foundation. Noah explained: “There are so many times… You fight and say things—but that’s your family, and they’re always going to be there for you… I’m lucky enough to say that’s been my case with me and my siblings.

Family as the Steady Center

Noah also used the interview to address rumors of family strife. She emphasized that her family remains close-knit, grounded, and supportive. “Music is the thing that connects us… Everyone’s great and loves each other,” she said, downplaying public speculation as normal family dynamics seen through an extraordinary lens.

Why This Resonates

Noah’s reflections offer a nuanced look at growing up in the shadow of fame—not as a burden, but as a silent curriculum. Miley’s experiences became a guiding set of cautionary tales and creative inspiration. Meanwhile, Noah’s album serves as a tribute to legacy, unity, and finding one’s own voice amid shared stories.

In Summary

Noah Cyrus highlights how watching her sister’s evolution taught her lessons of resilience in the entertainment world. Now stepping into her own artistry, she wraps her roots, relationships, and reflections into every note—a beautiful echo of her family’s enduring harmony.
