I don't see that at all. Miley's going into territory only The Beatles, if you count them, are going into. She's a pop artist loved by the status quo, but she's doing these things to challenge it... Doing it from within, which is much more effective. You're not going to get people to realize their bullshit by singing protest songs and pithy punk rants. It's expected. What's not expected is a pop artist challenging what's accepted.
Maybe she's covering SLTS because she likes the song.
Maybe she's sharing what she's learning because she's simply trying to share what she's learning.
Also, I heard AC/DC's Back in Black used for a WalMart commercial, is WalMart trying to reject the status quo?
