Demi Lovato backs Miley Cyrus: 'People need to get over that she was Hannah Montana'

Demi Lovato believes people need to realise that Miley Cyrus has grown up since being in Hannah Montana.

The singer starred in the Disney TV show and film series when she was a youngster and as such her recent flamboyant behaviour has raised eyebrows.

However, Lovato told We Love Pop that dissenters need to let go of the fact that Cyrus was a teen Disney actress.

She said: "You know what, I think the world needs to get over the fact that [she] was Hannah Montana when she was 16. Nobody knows her, nobody really knows who I am, and the same with Selena and [The Jonas Brothers] and everyone that has grown up in front of the public eye. We're adults now.

"I think she knows what she's doing. A lot of artists take that route of shock value and that's fine but I think she has such an incredible voice that's overshadowed by some of the things that she's doing. I'll always love her, she's been one of my friends since I was 14."
