Miley Cyrus has got her fans shook after spilling the beans about taking a step back from touring — not ’cause she’s burnt out or tired of her career, but to protect her mental health, physical well-being, and personal identity. The pop star, who used to fill up stadiums all over the world, spilled the tea that life on the road left her feeling all kinds of disconnected and overwhelmed. This ain’t just a simple break, y’all. Cyrus’s decision is a major turn in her career, all ’cause she wants to put balance before all the glitz and glam.

The Truth About Touring and Why It Ain’t for Miley

In 2023, Miley opened up and spilled the beans that touring ain’t ‘healthy’ for her. She spilled that being always on stage and under the eyes of thousands of people makes her feel disconnected from herself. In some short videos, inspired by her single ‘Used to Be Young’, she went deep into her past and her journey, showing all the struggles she faces on the road. ‘The show only lasts 90 minutes but that’s your life,’ Miley spilled in a TikTok clip. She stressed that performing at such a high level needs a lot of recovery and rest, which she finds hard to balance. She described performing as ‘training your ego’ to stay active, and she admits that she finds it hard to switch off.

More than the physical toll, Miley highlighted the emotional toll of always being watched. She spilled that having her daily convos with others treated as a performance ‘erases my humanity and my connection’. Without that connection, she feels she can’t write music, which is her main focus. This real talk shows why she’s decided to step away from the big stages she once ruled.
