“Flowers,” Miley Cyrus rises triumphantly from the ashes of her very public — and very nasty — breakup with “The Hunger Games” actor Liam Hemsworth after just eight months of marriage in 2019.With the viral TikTok bop spending six weeks at No.

1 since it was released on Jan. 13 (which just so happens to be Hemsworth’s birthday) — Cyrus’ career is once again in full bloom Cyrus’ career is once again in full bloom ten years after she first ruled the charts with “Wrecking Ball.” She’s got a new album, “Endless Summer Vacation” and an accompanying Disney+ special, both out Friday.“She’s in a new great space,” Stacy Barthe — who has remained friends with Cyrus since co-writing her 2013 single “Adore You” — told The Post. “This is a new kind of chapter.

She’s just evolving — and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.”Along the way, Cyrus — who began starring in “Hannah Montana” when she was 13 in 2006 and recently turned 30  — has managed to avoid the child-star curse that has hit many of her generation and beyond.“Pre-dating Miley was former Disney princess and Mouseketeer Britney Spears, and we all know how Britney’s story went,” Lori Majewski, host of SiriusXM’s “Fierce: Women in Music,” told The Post. “And even Miley’s contemporaries Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez have both really battled inner demons … But Miley was so close to her family that she had champions that led her out of the ‘good girl that everybody wants her to be’ phase and into [being] the artist who she wants to be.”Barthe also credits that solid family foundation, which of course includes her country-star father Billy Ray Cyrus  — and godmother Dolly Parton.“I mean, she’s a very family-oriented person,” said Barthe, who has her own album coming out.
