Miley Cyrus and RuPaul's 'Cattitude' Lyrics Are a Big Flex

From ELLE

Miley Cyrus and RuPaul's She Is Coming track "Cattitude" got a little attention earlier this week for the lyric in it about Nicki Minaj and Cardi B ("I love you, Nicki, but I listen to Cardi"). But the full song itself isn't about Cyrus taking any sides in any feuds (Cyrus confirmed that much in a radio interview); it's her appeal to everyone to show more gratitude and stop hating on other people.

Of course, this song sends that message in the most raunchy, fierce, over-the-top way. Here, the lyrics via Genius to take in, plus some context here and there on what exactly Cyrus is referring to.

Intro: RuPaul

Cyrus was a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race this season and is a self-confessed huge fan of the show, so collaborating with RuPaul is a pretty fitting move for Cyrus. RuPaul's loving roast of Cyrus here is his way of teasing her about her Tennessee heritage and provocative way of dressing.

Verse 1: RuPaul

Chorus: Miley Cyrus

There may even be a little political subtext here in addition to the very clear sexual self-love shoutout-after a video of Donald Trump saying "grab them by the pussy" went viral, many women reclaimed the word and even made pink "pussy hats" into a common accessory. Cyrus, of course, is no fan of Trump's policies or treatment of women.

Verse 2: Miley Cyrus

Cyrus has been in entertainment for a long time. Her breakout role on TV was on Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, which premiered in 2006, when she was just 13.

Refrain: Miley Cyrus

Again, a sexual term but also possibly a political, feminist one. Trump's use of "nasty woman" to describe his 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton brought the word to the forefront, with women reclaiming it and proudly calling themselves "nasty women." (Cyrus's Disney colleague Selena Gomez is another former Disney star who went out in a "nasty woman" jacket.)

Verse 3: RuPaul

Refrain: Miley Cyrus & RuPaul

Verse 4: Miley Cyrus & RuPaul

A Maserati is a luxury car, naturally. Cyrus's dad Billy Ray Cyrus just got one from Lil Nas X to celebrate the success of their song "Old Town Road."

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B did feud and then resolved their beef, but Cyrus explained that she was never taking sides by giving them a shoutout in her song. She told Capital Breakfast this week: "Actually, one of my songs says, ‘You want to know if we’re really beefing? There’s no beef; I’m a vegan.’ I think that you’re allowed to enjoy two artists who fill a similar lane. And I just always grew up collaborating with Selena [Gomez] and Demi [Lovato], and there was never competition. Ariana [Grande] is one of my best friends."

"When you are authentically yourself, no one can be you so you’re never worried about someone stealing your place because it can’t be taken because you’re the only one, and I think what they do is so different from each other. That’s why they both get a crown. They don’t have to share; they don’t have to break it in half; there’s no reason to fight over it. They’re both queens. And any time you want to feel powerful and strong, that’s my go-to: Cardi and Nicki."

Margiela is a luxury fashion house.

Cyrus had her 16th birthday party at Disneyland and had the entire park closed down for the day. Invited guests and people who paid $250 for a ticket were allowed in to celebrate Cyrus's birthday (proceeds went to Youth Service America). Guests included Cindy Crawford and her kids Kaia and Presley Gerber, Emily Osment, and Demi Lovato. Tyra Banks hosted the event.
