First Lady Melania Trump stepped into Valentine's Day early with a stop at the National Institute of Health on Wednesday (2-12) and was asked by a girl who was making crafts next to her what music she listens to.
A bold question to ask the First Lady, but Trump did not hesitate in her response.
Mrs. Trump replied, “I listen to all kinds of music. I like Michael Jackson, I like Pavarotti, I like Tina Turner, I like Miley Cyrus,” smiling as she placed a bit of extra emphasis on Cyrus’ name.
Cyrus, of course, is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and the goddaughter of Dolly Parton — not to mention a hugely successful, multi-genre artist in her own right.
The moment adds another connection between the Trump family and country music.
Mrs. Trump then affirms that she isn't the only one listening to Cyrus and the others when she says, "We have a few songs that are our favorite. We have them on our iTunes."
It’s amusing to imagine walking through the White House and seeing President Trump and the First Lady greeting guests while Miley Cyrus’ “23” plays in the background, with lyrics like, “Tatted up, mini skirt with my J’s on.”
Or maybe the Trumps lean toward Cyrus’ softer side on their playlist, opting instead for an inspirational hit like “The Climb,” with lyrics like, “Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side / it’s the climb.”
Regardless of which Miley Cyrus song the First Lady and President might have on their playlist, it’s a warm reminder that there are still a few country music ties connecting today’s White House to the genre.

Miley Cyrus is very talented and very confused.
Oh, Adriano Celentano. He was very popular in my country. And still is.
Miley Cyrus is very talented and very confused.“
“Confused” is being very charitable and is not the word l would use.
And her parents don’t help her. She gave up marijuana for a few years, until her mother badgered her into smoking again.
I feel bad for Miley Cyrus. I believe she was cynically bred by her parents to make money.
I came across Miley Cyrus on YouTube singing “I can buy my own flowers” and REALLY liked it!! She has a beautiful body that she marked up with stupid tattoos!
Your music may be remastered, but it misses the best part - the video:

I loved wrecking ball but have no idea what else she’s done.
Messed up childhood
Pity
Right! I was just trying to be..., you know.
I thought her Dad was close to normal. Well.
Maybe. But she went on a downward spiral herself.
I think Climb was great. Flowers is a good song, but a terrible message.
Maybe he is. But he married the mother, raised her, and is in the industry, so...
I’ll have to look it up.
Thank you.
