Miley Cyrus doesn’t want to go on tour anytime soon. The pop star now explains in detail why that is on TikTok.
Pop star Miley Cyrus, 30, stunned her fans when she announced in May this year that she no longer wanted to tour for the time being. The 30-year-old is currently looking back on her life in her new TikTok series “Used to Be Young”. In part six of this series, Cyrus now explained and justified in more detail what reservations she has about tours.
Miley Cyrus has a hard time turning off her touring ego
According to her, her stage performances require “a certain amount of ego” which she says “is overused when I’m on tour”. After her performances in front of a live audience, it was difficult for the singer to come down from this. “For me, training your ego to be active every single night is the hardest switch to turn off,” Cyrus said.
The “Flowers” hitmaker also feels that audience scrutiny on tour is “not healthy” because it would “wipe out their humanity and their connection.” However, she would give those two things “priority” because without them she “couldn’t be a songwriter”.
Last world tour 2014
It’s been almost nine years since Miley Cyrus’ last major world tour. In 2014, her “Bangerz Tour” took her to a total of 78 shows on three continents. Since then, however, the singer has only performed sporadically and within North and South America, at festivals such as Lollapalooza.
Back in May, Cyrus, who released her new album Endless Summer Vacation earlier this year, told British Vogue: “Singing to hundreds of thousands of people isn’t something I really love. There’s no connection, none Security.”
Shortly thereafter, she specified her statements on X (formerly Twitter). That’s where the pop star wrote: “To be clear: I feel connected to my fans more than ever.” That also applies if you don’t see them “every night at a concert”.
