The Unexpected Cheerleading Backgrounds of Some of Your Favorite Celebrities

Miley Cyrus is recognized for more than just her role as Hannah Montana.

Miley Cyrus shot to fame as Hannah Montana, but that wasn’t her first moment in the spotlight. She started as a cheerleader, which isn’t surprising given her knack for entertaining seems to be in her genes. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, is a legendary country singer, known for “Achy Breaky Heart,” a song everyone from the ’90s knows by heart. Cheerleading was so important to Miley that she dreamed of cheering for the Tennessee Premiere soccer team one day. Although that didn’t happen, she has since had an incredible career starting from her debut on television. Miley is now a well-established musician, having sold millions of albums and toured globally.
