Speaking on Australian TV show Sunday Night, the Wrecking Ball singer said: “Elvis, he wasn’t wearing the outfits I was wearing, but he was coming out and he was doing like the OG twerking… Like, no one wants to admit that he was twerking, he was.
“He was like sex. He was a symbol of sex but no one would have ever called Elvis a shit because he wasn’t a girl.
Cyrus continued to say that she believes she is helping to empower women in the music industry. She said: “It’s that double standard and I think I’m doing something for the double standard.”
Cyrus’ interview will be shown in full on Sunday Night this evening (August 31).
