Happy 18th Birthday, Miley Cyrus

It’s official. The teen sensation is legally of age.

It’s been four years since Disney starlet Miley Cyrus first landed on TV as the sweetly innocent Hannah Montana, a career break that launched her into international superstardom as an actress and singer. Three solo albums followed her success on Montana – 2007′s Meet Miley Cyrus, 2008′s Breakout and this year’s Can’t Be Tamed, which features her biggest hit to date, Party In The USA – as well as a starring role in a film written specifically for her, 2010′s The Last Song. The daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus was an undeniable hit.

But despite her docile, Nashville-style roots, the past few years have given way to an edgier, more adult Miley. The reinvention hasn’t gone over seamlessly, as parents have criticized the teen for a shrinking wardrobe and scandalous dance moves. Perhaps her most infamous moments have included a Vanity Fair photo shirt that featured a topless Miley, wrapped in a bed sheet and a performance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards which featured her dancing on somewhat provocatively on a pole. Still, she has endured as one of the most marketable teen stars in the business, which means scandal or not, she must know what she’s doing.
