What's so shocking about it? At least she's better than that Celena Gomez - another girl-singer who is more boring imo than Miley. IDK why but she annoys me by her arrogant "I'm the best of the best" appearance, so Montana's OK. Having said that I don't like both of them as much as other modern singers.

hahah but it's seriously like my actual birthday. 1992 and everything. just was surprising. she gets a little annoying. i don't mind sharing a birthday with her though haha
