— -- Miley Cyrus is hosting this year's MTV Video Music Awards, and she definitely has opinions about some of the videos that were nominated.

Cyrus takes issue in particular with the video for Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood."

"I don't get the violence revenge thing. That's supposed to be a good example?" she asked in an interview with Marie Claire for its September issue. "And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my t****** out? I'm not sure how t****** are worse than guns."

Cyrus, 22, also opened up about what she perceives to be other double standards in the music industry. Oddly enough, while discussing it, she name checked one of the guest stars in Swift's video.

"There is so much sexism, ageism, you name it," she told the magazine. "Kendrick Lamar sings about LSD and he's cool. I do it and I'm a druggie whore."

The "Wrecking Ball" singer added that she feels judged for the causes she supports, such as gay rights, and her own willingness to talk about her sexuality.

"Lately, I've been talking a lot about my being gender-fluid and gender-neutral. And some people snarl at that," she said. "They want to judge me. People need more conventional role models, I guess. But I just don't care to be that person."
