As one of the few Black women in country music, Mickey Guyton hasn’t had an easy path. But after years of false starts and disappointments, she decided to do things her way on her debut album, 2021's Remember Her Name. Staying true to herself meant telling her story, and the album included songs like "Love My Hair," which she wrote after seeing a video of a Black girl sent home from school because of her hair, and “Black Like Me,” about the sometimes painful reality of someone in Guyton's shoes. Miley Cyrus knows a few things about doing things her way, too, whether shedding her Hannah Montana image by swinging half-naked on a wrecking ball or pivoting from pop to rock in recent years. This summer, Mickey and Miley reconnected for Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians podcast, presented by Allstate. They touched on everything from country radio to the Reeboks that Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, would wear in the Nineties. But they kept coming back to breaking barriers and being themselves.
