In a whirlwind of nostalgia, Miley Cyrus’s recent “Used to Be Young” TikTok series paints a poignant picture of the pop star’s roller-coaster journey with ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. From sharing screens in a teenage romance flick to walking down the aisle, their relationship has been nothing short of a Hollywood saga.
From The Last Song to Real-Life Romance
It was 2010’s “The Last Song” that ignited the spark between young Miley and Liam. Miley reminisced about this period, saying, “I think one of the elements that made that movie feel so special was it was watching two very young people fall in love with each other, which was happening in real time and in real life.” Their on-screen chemistry transitioned seamlessly into reality, leading to a decade-long relationship filled with its highs and lows.
This film, penned by Nicholas Sparks, holds a special place in Cyrus’s heart. “In 2008, I needed to do another feature film for Disney, and I didn’t want it to be a part of Hannah Montana,” the artist recalled. The search for her on-screen boyfriend, Will, saw “thousands” of auditions that were eventually narrowed down to three, and among them was Hemsworth.
The Malibu Connection: More than Just a Home
Amidst her wave of nostalgia, Miley didn’t just stop at their budding romance. She went on to share a heart-wrenching recollection of the Malibu home they shared – a haven filled with memories and music, which tragically succumbed to the California wildfires in 2018.
“The Meet Miley Cyrus record was really where I started writing my own songs as a solo artist,” Cyrus reflected. The house, initially belonging to a producer she worked with, held a sense of magic for her. “It ended up really changing my life,” she added.
A Relationship Marked by Ups and Downs
While Miley and Liam’s relationship began with the innocence of teen love, it saw its share of challenges. Hemsworth proposed two-and-a-half years after they first met. Their journey was marked with on-and-off phases, culminating in their Malibu cohabitation. However, while they said their vows in December 2018, by August the following year, the couple had parted ways. Their divorce reached its conclusion in January 2020.
“Used to Be Young”: A Song of Reflection
Miley’s latest track, “Used to Be Young,” which dropped last Friday, encapsulates the pop star’s reflections on her days of youthful abandon. The emotional ballad’s music video showcases Cyrus in a poignant moment, with tears glistening in her eyes, clad in a Mickey Mouse tee under a shimmering red corset – a subtle homage to her Disney origins and the Hannah Montana days.
As Miley continues to share snippets from her past, fans get an intimate glimpse into the life of an artist who has grown, loved, lost, and found herself again. With her candid revelations, Cyrus has truly turned her personal history into a captivating narrative for all to relish.
