Miley Cyrus has insisted she has a more impressive 'squad' than pop contemporary Taylor Swift.

The 32-year-old claims she called up her most famous friends to convince them to star in a music video with her in 2013 - only for her record label to cancel the plan.

Cyrus insists the video would prove she has more impressive contacts than fellow singer Swift, 35, who pulled together a lineup of A-List friends for her Bad Blood music video in 2015.

The Flowers singer told the Every Single Album podcast, "I had everyone already lined up. Nelly ... Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove."

She went on, "This was before Taylor had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f-king squad, and my squad was very, very cool."

The music video in question would have been for a track called 4x4 from her 2013 album Bangerz - which was never actually released as a single.

Cyrus claims, "Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr. I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts."

Swift called on friends including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Karlie Kloss, Cindy Crawford and more for her own chart-topping single - famously penned following her alleged fall-out with Katy Perry.
