Miley Cyrus gave a quick interview to MTV and talked about what it meant for her having Madonna there.
Heres a transcription by Madonnarama
To have someone here that wasnt the obvious and something that was different than just being on my record. Something that people wouldnt really expect. Even I didnt expect Madonna to be necessarily down to do something like Unplugged with me.
The fact that shes here kind of doing this hoedown thing with me now is so unbelievable. Im so stoked.
I grew up listening to Madonna and a lot of what she represented for me is what I try to represent to girls now. Not being afraid of sexuality and really being who you want to be and doing what you want to do and thats what Dont Tell me is about.
Dont Tell me is basically the same message of what Im telling my fans with We Cant Stop.
I feel like We Cant stop is kind of the 2013 version of Dont Tell me and so that was kind of the first song that came into my mind and it was awesome that she was so down with that and understood why that was important for a lot of especially a lot of our fans who are young and trying to figure out their freedom. It doesnt matter whether youre gay, straight, whatever
Everyones trying to figure out what their freedom is. So its talking and not being afraid to talk to every different type of human being and make them know that its cool to be who you are.I really wanted her here, just because I wanted that energy.
Im glad I can be on stage with someone that isnt afraid of me or what Im gonna do.Shes so about it and about making a statement. Thats what being a real entertainer is.
