Miley Cyrus is back on top of the pop charts, and she arrived there with a little help from Taylor Swift.
Not explicitly, mind you. Swift is not credited as a guest or a writer on Cyrus' new song "Flowers," which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart last week. But her influence, her ethos, is all over it.
That's because on "Flowers," Miley gets personal. She's spilling details of her love life and her relationship and inviting fans to be a part of her narrative, which is a formula Swift has perfected better than any other modern pop artist.
