Her friend and Furiosa actress Anya Taylor-Joy <\/a>also stuck to referring to the singer\u2019s career in the past tense while praising her, saying, \u201cMiley didn\u2019t just grow up in front of the world.

A source close to the singer, who spoke to the Daily Mail over the weekend, assured fans that Miley is not considering leaving the industry, contrary to popular belief.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are too quick to write Miley off whenever a project doesn\u2019t hit the way everyone expected. Sure, the latest album didn\u2019t connect on the level she hoped, but she doesn\u2019t see this as some career crisis,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anything, she\u2019s looking at it as a moment to reset and figure out what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s watched her dad go through career highs and lows and find his way back time and time again, and she\u2019s always admired the longevity and reinvention of her godmother Dolly Parton<\/a>\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are the examples she keeps in mind when people start talking about peaks and declines,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

Miley\u2019s return to The Voice, the NBC singing reality TV show on which she was a coach between 2016 and 2017, has been discussed, according to the insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is also looking at acting opportunities, and she\u2019d love to find the right sitcom,\u201d the insider added.<\/p>\n

Acting was Miley\u2019s first love and was what originally inspired her to enter show business.<\/p>\n

In 2001, her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, took an eight-year-old Miley to see a production of the musical Mamma Mia!<\/a> at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Then, she famously grabbed his arm and declared, \u201cThis is what I want to do, Daddy. I want to be an actress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years later, in 2003, she made her feature film debut as Young Ruthie in Tim Burton\u2019s Big Fish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is she\u2019s still one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world. She is still getting offers, and people are still interested in working with her,\u201d the insider insisted.<\/p>\n
