Miley Cyrus certainly took quite a break from music and left fans helplessly waiting for her to release music again. Those teasers just increased everyone’s anticipation of Miley Cyrus’ new song “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart”. It’s a collaboration with DJ Mark Ronson. The song itself is a masterpiece, adding just the right flair of electronic music with the natural country pop style of Miley Cyrus. The chorus is catchy and will be gleefully etched onto your brain for days to come. But, as she has done before, Miley Cyrus went all out for this music video as well. It’s got political statements and controversial topics all in one. You see kids smiling while shooting guns, people going crazy over a Black Friday sale and priests shook in a strip club and Christian symbolism. Miley Cyrus adds in an iconic scene that perfectly honors Colin Kaepernick and all NFL players who protested against police brutality.

Rihanna cancelled the Super Bowl performance due to this; an act applauded by another politically active celebrity Amy Schumer. Adam Levine was confused on doing the Superbowl performance and Cardi B said she’ll only do it if Colin Kaepernick comes back to the NFL. All in all, Colin Kaepernick might have lost his NFL job but he earned a lot of respect from most of the people worldwide. Nike used him in their marketing campaign.

It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart
