For "Hannah Montana" fans, myself included, 2013 was a life-changing year. Miley Cyrus had officially abandoned her Disney Channel persona (so long Miley Stewart!) and fostered a more mature image, beckoning everyone to see, treat and regard her as a young woman. Many remember Cyrus' infamous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she donned a nude-toned latex bra and underwear set while twerking on Robin Thicke. But earlier that day, on Aug. 25, Cyrus had dropped her music video for "Wrecking Ball," which critics said didn't live up to her prior — albeit more raunchy — smash hit, "We Can't Stop."
Boy, were they wrong.
