Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Are Engaged Again: Look Back on Everything That Happened During Their Break

It started with the snip of the scissors heard 'round the world.

Miley Cyrus, former Disney darling with a gorgeous brunette 'do, chopped her hair off into a wild pixie cut and added a load of bleach to it. She officially began to do away with her Hannah Montana image, shedding her locks—and her innocence—in favor of a bolder, blonder image.

Basically, it was the beginning of the end of Miley as we knew her.



She and Liam Hemsworth, who were engaged at the time of the famous chop, seemed to be drifting apart. Ultimately, they would call off their engagement and embark on a two-year hiatus. Fans of the couple would blame her haircut. "Everything changed for the worse when she cut her hair," people would say. With Liam gone—or Miley depending on whose side you're on—both could make way for their own adventures. One would involve a foam finger and twerking, the other would involve movies, a model and more.

All thought hope was lost that these two would or could ever reconcile when The Hunger Games star was spotted hanging out with Mexican model Eiza González. But Miley wasn't necessarily living the lonely life, either. She was busy launching an entirely new façade, full of crazy costumes, wigs, marijuana leaves and so much more. She also recorded and released an epic album, Bangerz, which was filled with jams such as "We Can't Stop" and emotional powerhouses like "Wrecking Ball" and "Adore You."

Fans immediately speculated that "Wrecking Ball" was about her ex, but it wasn't really confirmed until she went on an expletive-filled rant at London's G.A.Y. club in May 2014.

"... and every time you get in your car, you're going to hear my f--king song on the f--king radio, you piece of s--t. That's right. And then I'm gonna take all my clothes off, I'm gonna sit on a big, giant d--k—sometimes two—I'm gonna swing around, and then I'm gonna hold the record for the most-watched music video on Vevo. So then—you know, you can tell a lot about a person—I think you can tell how big their d--k is by how much confidence they have usually, and if I was a dude I'd probably have a really big d--k, ‘cause I feel really good about myself now. So I'm gonna tell those motherf--kers that broke my heart, particularly one, to suck my fat d--k and to enjoy hearing this song for the rest of your life. This song is called 'Wrecking Ball'."
