The Enormous Celebrity Transformations Ever to Take Place in the History of Film and Music Industries (3 of 5)

MILEY CYRUS

THEN:

Cyrus auditioned for Hannah Montana when she was hardly eleven years old. Portraying the character of Miley Stewart (yes, they kept her real and reel name the same!) who led a double life, Cyrus awed everyone with her versatility.

She played the role of a normal brunette teenager who was a high schooler by day, and also Hannah Montana, a popular blonde singer with enormous popularity creating an uproar in concerts at night.

Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus was also cast in this show, who surprisingly played her reel-life father as well! The show was aired on Disney and Cyrus bagged her superabundant recognition across the globe from a very young age.

She started her career in music and acting and went on to become everyone’s idol! She also made friends with Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, and other such infamous figures during her early career.

NOW:

However, Cyrus’ career started to take a turn for the worse after the completion of Hannah Montana. The role model of every young girl, whom people idealized for her chirpy, sweet behavior, and perky style sense, shocked everyone with her album “Can’t Be Tamed.”

Not only was it filled with inappropriate and derogatory scenes, but also showed Cyrus breaking through the chains that held her back and forced her to ‘pretend’ to be someone else.

She went onto releasing other songs such as Wrecking Ball, and news surfaced the internet that she was uncontrollably addicted to drugs. This created an uproar as she started receiving backlash from the parent community as a lot of kids looked up to her.

She lost a huge chunk of her fans as well, who decided to revoke their loyalty towards her after this fiasco. She is single now, having recently divorced her fiance Liam Hemsworth. She still makes music and is one of the four judges in The Voice America, but none of us can forget her early twenties.

TAYLOR SWIFT

THEN:

With long golden luscious curls, Taylor Swift was this small-town girl who hit off her music career with ‘Our Song.’ Back then she was this famous country singer who wrote soulful songs about every mood and moment.

She also managed to create her fandom called “Swifties” – and every member who belonged to it called themselves a “Swifty”. She wrote over a thousand songs, about heartbreaks, unrequited love, fulfilling love, revenge, defeat – you name it and there is a Taylor Swift song about it.

Little girls looked up to her as she always managed to speak their minds through her songs. She boasted a country-style dressing sense as well – strappy flats and midi-gowns was her signature style.

She even took up a few acting gigs here and there, but back in those days, Taylor was labeled as the ‘out of tune, plastic’ singer who wasn’t thought to be much capable.

NOW:

Today, she has won over innumerable Grammys, a thousand nominations, and at least a ton of Teen Choice Awards. She ditched country music and became a full-fledged pop artist over time, and so did her dressing style as now she wears bold clothes more.

She made a mark in the industry by releasing her album ‘Red’ where she introduced the world to her signature statement – her bold red lip. She chopped her long hair off and wears a short, fringed cut now.

She has completely transformed her image, and the aura of innocence about her has finally worn off. She is this mature, poised woman known for her high-statistical contacts with the authoritative figures of the industry.

She has dated over ten guys throughout her lifetime (whoosh!) and is best friends with Selena Gomez. Still single, this woman is the living example of ‘how to love yourself’.

KIM KARDASHIAN WEST

THEN:

Back in 2006, Kim was burgeoning a young celeb Paris Hilton, for whom she occasionally worked as her stylist. She was best friends with her and mostly made her spotlight work to her advantage.

She would flaunt her preppy style at huge events of Paris’, but she emerged as the talk of the town when her sex tape was leaked. Soon after she started her show called ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ which bagged major fame, thanks to the pile of family drama and mishaps it portrayed.

Back then her facial features were subtle, and she had black hair. Whenever she was out and around photographers, she never failed to look her very best – even when she hadn’t made a big name for herself.

NOW:

The ‘Keeping Up with Kardashian’ star has become a major beauty mogul and the trendsetter in fashion. She wears flashy outfits with confidence and manages to make headlines every week, with the whole world keen on knowing about her life.

She has three babies, and is happily married to Kanye West (who’s contesting for President in the US this year), and has her very own line of cosmetics called KKW Beauty. She makes her mark in every event – be it the Mets or the Grammys, although, she is a very controversial personality in the fame industry.

She has had lip fillers and implants done to various parts of her body to get the hourglass figure that she has now. She has grown into this mature, bold woman who has built her empire and couldn’t care less about what the world thinks about her, and honestly, that’s exactly why we love her.
