Miley totally knows what she's doing. She knows how to be a star.
Also, she knows how to be herself while making it a trendy, likable, popular thing.

There is still some truth to Beyst being scared to release at the time.
There is a reason she had to scrap the concept several times, perform at the SB, release a documentary, tour for a year before using a marketing stunt to make her album sell over 3m.
Rihanna made a mistake of releasing singles and giving her fans hope when the album still wasn't ready.
