Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball Video



When Miley Cyrus’s wrecking ball video was broadcasted it sent a panic around the world. People slated the video and used words like ‘slut’ to suggest the actress’s new persona. However hidden in the video showed a lot of connotations of why Miley Cyrus created the video the way she did. She says, 'Lets get something straight. You guys don't understand my music video. So let me explain it to you. I kiss the sledge hammer to show that i secretly still love the pain. I'm naked to show how Liam destroyed me. I emotionally became "naked and stripped" meaning im hurt on the inside. The wrecking ball symbolizes a destructive love, hence the song title. (the wrecking ball breaks the walls and im left laying in the remaining of it) so instead of calling me "slut" or "whore" realise im trying to tell a story of love that went wrong and destroyed me emotionally.' This could link to the concept of my music video as they are both related to the story of love and mourning over the fact that their lover is no longer there. This shows that i must put connotations in my music to relate back to the actual narrative that im trying to show like miley cyrus has done.
