Sixteen Is the Sweetest If You Are Miley Cyrus

What’s so sweet about 16? Miley Cyrus can definitely answer this question for us. Her folks closed down Disneyland only to celebrate her birthday party, 5,000 fans took part in the teen event of the year and she got a puppy. What more could a 16-year-old (oh, wait, she’s still 15) wish for? A brand new car maybe, but perhaps she’ll get it when she actually turns 16 and that’s more than one month away (November 23). Miley Cyrus, however, seems to be pleased for the moment as she told reporters, “My parents shut down Disneyland for me, so I’m good for a while.” You should be, Ms. “Hannah Montana.” What teen gets to benefit from all this fame and prosperity?

Kids rushed to catch a glimpse of their idol and made mommy and daddy get $250 out of their pockets, as a ticket that leads the way to both Miley Cyrus and Disneyland can’t possibly be cheap.

Among the thousands of guests stepping on the no, not red, but purple carpet (purple is Miley Cyrus’ favorite color) there were also famous figures such as David Archuleta, Jennie Garth, Steve Carell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Vanessa Williams, Heather Locklear, as well as Demi Lovato, accompanied by friends or families.

The pop star wore a couture gown from Elie Saab’s brand new spring/summer collection, but subsequently changed into a more comfy outfit so as to perform for the fans who were present at her oversized birthday bash. Her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, opened the concert by singing several of his best known hits, such as the 1992 country song “Achy Breaky Heart,” while Miley rocked the Disney stage with some of her most famous songs (among teenagers at least). The popular teen actress and singer told everybody that the Disney party was “the most amazing sweet 16 that a girl could have.” After a bit of “Breakout” and “G.N.O.,” the crowd wished the “Hannah Montana” star a very happy birthday, while 16 giant inflatable candles took great care of the atmosphere before a fireworks display above the Sleeping Beauty Castle lighted the sky.

During the party, several popular attractions like Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean were available to attendees, who were also able to go for a “Hannah Montana” makeover or an “Ultimate Band” play.

Miley Cyrus told PEOPLE that the gift she enjoyed the most was evidently the puppy she got from her parents. She told the same source that she was very excited about the little one, who she named Sophie, after a dog owned by her late grandfather.

We sure hope Sophie loved the show (okay, birthday party) that represented a must-attend shindig for the pop icon’s admirers. Moreover, the doggie did not even have to buy a ticket and benefits from the overwhelming privilege to be the pet of the most popular and famous teenager in the world. Miley Cyrus is definitely going to become the next Britney, Christina or Lindsay.
