WHAT MILEY CYRUS WEARS WHEN SHE ‘RUNS TO THE HILLS’

So uhhh…. I’m only posting this because I know this is the sort of thing that makes people mad for no reason. 

I don’t really understand why people get so bent out of shape when they see a celebrity wearing a band t-shirt. I mean, celebrities listen to music, too. And even though I doubt Miley’s heard their entire discography or anything…it’s Iron Maiden. They’ve sold millions upon millions of albums. They just sold out Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago. (As I’m sure they have many times before.) So like, I’m pretty sure lots of people have heard of them. Even tween stars.

Also, it’s now possible to go and pick up an Iron Maiden shirt somewhere as easily accessible as Urban Outfitters. And as much as many of you might be inclined to call someone a “poser” for buying a shirt under those circumstances…what about the bands? I mean, I’m no lawyer or anything, but doesn’t Iron Maiden have to *approve* something like that? Like, doesn’t the band have to sign off on giving someone rights to their logo? Maybe it doesn’t make the consumer a “poser” as much as it makes Iron Maiden seem like a bunch of sell-outs. But then again, I DGAF….it’s just Iron Maiden. No skin off my nose if they know what’s gonna make them more bank. More power to them.

Maybe I’d be a little bit more put off by a celeb in a band tee if it were something more obscure or unusual. If I see Selena Gomez wearing a Mercyful Fate shirt, then I’ll think somethin’ is up. But let’s face it, an Iron Maiden shirt is about as safe as a classic black tee.

Anyway…Ms. Cyrus was also recently seen rockin’ Cheap Trick and Bowie shirts. Whatever. She just bein’ Miley…
