In a brand new lengthy interview, Miley Cyrus chats with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about her sobriety journey, as well as her new album, Plastic Hearts.

 

Talking about her sobriety, Miley admitted she recently ‘fell off,’ “I, like a lot of people, being completely honest, during the pandemic, fell off.  I fell off, and I realized that I now am back on sobriety, two weeks sober, and I feel like I really accepted that time.  One of the things I’ve used is ‘Don’t get furious, get curious.’ So don’t be mad at yourself, but ask yourself, ‘What happened?'”

Miley continues, “I think everyone has to do what is best for them. I don’t have a problem with drinking. I have a problem with the decisions I make once I go past that level of [intoxication] … I become very impulsive.  It’s pretty easy for me to be sober or in and out of sobriety.”  

 

Miley also explained why she decided to not share with her fans that she broke her sobriety, “To me, it was a f— up because I’m not a moderation person, and I don’t think that everyone has to be f**king sober.  I think everyone has to do what is best for them. I don’t have a problem with drinking. I have a problem with the decisions I make once I go past that level of… even into, I’ve just been wanting to wake up 100 per cent, 100 per cent of the time.”

Miley, who turned 28 on Monday (Nov. 23) tells Zane, “I am not the person I was yesterday. Last night sitting behind you, cutting with Stevie Nicks on the phone, that changed me forever.  Everything changes me forever and I’ll never be who I was yesterday. In a way, every night before I go to sleep, I say goodbye to myself in a way, because it’s like that person’s done. There’s like a sadness to it sometimes because I do evolve really quickly because I’m very absorbent. Like I just take everything in.”

 

“Twenty-seven to me was a year that I really had to protect myself.  That actually really made me want to get sober was because we’ve lost so many icons at 27. It’s a very pivotal time. You go into that next chapter or this is it for you. I just feel that some of the artists that almost couldn’t handle their own power and their own energy and their own force. It’s an energy. I, no matter what, was born with that,” Miley continues.

Miley also spoke about Dua Lipa, her collaborator on ‘Prisoner,‘”We have a lot of things in common, if you look at us. I would say our love for fashion, this is my number one, me and Dua both.  She’s probably the only person that can rival my collection of fuzzy hats. We have a love for fuzzy hats.  For her and I, there’s just no competition … There’s a true partnership.”
