Miley Cyrus makes her "I'm all growns up" move with this dark and stylish video from director Robert Hales. Going with a bird/caged/sing metaphor, Cyrus uses ravenous (pun intended) wings to shield herself from view from all the gawkers, before finding a little release by strutting thru the halls of a natural history museum with a troupe of dancers.
