Miley Cyrus on influencing stars such as Sabrina Carpenter
Miley Cyrus says it is "amazing" that her music influenced the next generation of pop stars, but she also says, "It's important that they do it their own way".
Miley Cyrus is reflecting on how her music career has inspired pop stars such as Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan.
All three singers have expressed their admiration for Miley. Sabrina met Miley when she was just 10 years old after entering a contest on the former 'Hannah Montana' star's website.
Miley spoke about her influence in a recent interview on Spotify's 'Billions Club.' Her sister, actress and DJ Brandi Cyrus, conducted the interview.
Brandi asked Miley how it felt to have helped shape the next generation of singers. "At the time, you never think about in the future, someone replicating what you do," she said in a clip shared exclusively on Billboard.
"You’re just doing it because it’s honest in the moment, and so now to see that impacting culture is something that I didn't know that I wanted, but I guess I do."
Miley says her idols growing up were Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner and her godmother, Dolly Parton.
"Even though they look up to me the way I look up to these other women, it’s really important they do it their own way, because that’s what my career has represented above all else.”

Miley also shared some insight into one of the most famous lyrics in her 2009 song, 'Party in the U.S.A.'.
"My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick/ Too much pressure and I'm nervous/ That's when the DJ dropped my favourite tune/ And a Britney song was on," she sings.
So what Britney song was on? According to Miley, it was the 42-year-old Princess of Pop's 'I'm a Slave 4 U'.
"When I watched that video for the first time, that's when I knew I wanted to be a... star."
