The singer spoke about how she has learnt to see insults as compliments, realising that when senior and iconic artists like Cher show hate to her that would mean that it is a compliment for her. Cher had told E! News in 2013 that she wants Miley to do better and it does not bother her what Cyrus does.

Cher also believes that the reason why Cyrus behaves in a provocative manner is perhaps because Miley is "thrilled" and "excited"; and that "everyone" believes that as well. The senior singer even went on to Twitter to reveal that she wishes she could keep silent about her opinions.
