Music Video of the Day: Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus (2009, dir by Chris Applebaum)


“It’s Miley!” as they used to yell on The Soup.

This is the video for Party in the U.S.A., which Miley later said was meant to be a celebration of 1) Grease, 2) her parents, and 3) “high gloss, glamorous white trash.” I don’t know if I would ever openly admit to celebrating both my parents and white trash in the same video but whatever. The important thing is that everyone appears to be enjoying themselves and that’s what matters the most. If you’re not having fun, why even appear in a music video, right?

Seriously, it’s time to party in the U.S.A. May this video serve as your guide.

Enjoy!
