Teen sensation Miley Cyrus used her guitar to get her through her the media backlash over a controversial photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine.

The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star hit the headlines last month when a provocative photo from an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot for the publication appeared online. However, the Start All Over singer claims she got over the intense media hounding by seeing refuge in her favorite instrument - hailing music as her "therapy".

She says, "My guitar is like my best friend. My guitar can get me through anything. If I can sit down and write an amazing song with my guitar about what's going on in my life, then that's the greatest therapy for me."
