Ever an activist,the late Sinead O’Connorwas always known for speaking her mind.
She has never been known to back down, even to the Catholic Church.
Cyrus broke the internet in 2013 when she released visuals for her breakout single, “Wrecking Ball.”

She even noted that her video was inspired by O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” visual.
Of course, O’Connor took to her blog to write an open letter to the young pop star.
“Yes, I’m suggesting you don’t care for yourself.

That has to change.”
The “Mandinka” singer didn’t hold back in providing Cyrus with some genuine albeit blunt industry advice.
I mean really… who advises you?"

Her career trajectory has been riddled with controversy, including her world-stopping MTV Video Music Awards performance.
In the years since, Cyrus has admitted that she should’ve heeded O’Connor’s advice.
“Especially women that had been in my position before.”
O’Connor spoke openly about living with bipolar disorder and depression throughout her career.
Afterthe heartbreaking death of her sonin 2022, she was never the same.
In the days before her passing, O’Connor tweeted about how hard it was to live without her boy.
During the concert special, Cyrus dedicated her “Wonder Woman” performance to the late songstress.
She also admitted that she eventually realized O’Connor’s advice rang true.
