How Does Miley Cyrus Feel About Touring?
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Los Angeles, December 11 (NationPress) Hollywood star and singer Miley Cyrus has opened up about the challenges of extensive touring, revealing that it can be extremely isolating and depleting.
The 33-year-old singer, who spent much of her childhood touring with her father, country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus, noted that while it felt like a playground during her youth, her perception shifted as she navigated it on her own, according to Female First UK.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she remarked, "As a kid, it was like a playground, but as I grew older, it morphed into a battleground. You really understand the toll it takes on your body—mentally and emotionally. It can be quite isolating. You’re surrounded by thousands of fans but then find yourself alone on a tour bus. It’s a drastic shift. What once felt comfortable became overwhelming when it was just me and not my dad anymore."
Miley also reflected on her demanding schedule during her Disney Channel days as Hannah Montana, where she juggled her education with long hours on set.
She expressed, "I attended school for four hours a day, which was a condensed version of what most kids experience. They enjoy breaks and socializing, but I was working nearly 12-hour days, Monday through Friday. On weekends, I was performing as Miley Cyrus, aiming to build my career simultaneously."
According to Female First UK, she is now more selective about the musical and acting projects she takes on.
Having grown up under public scrutiny, Miley believes that such exposure is not healthy for anyone, as it disrupts a natural growth process.
This led to times of rebellion after her childhood fame, a phase she views as the best way to learn and discover herself.
