Let’s get right into it … Liam Hemsworth.  Miley shares, “We were together since [I was] 16. Our house burned down. We had been, like, engaged — I don’t know if we really ever thought we were actually going to get married — but when we lost our house in Malibu, which if you listen to my voice pre- and post-fire, they’re very different so that trauma really affected my voice.  Me being an intense person and not wanting to sit with it and not wanting to go, you know, ‘What could be purposeful about this?’ I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him.”

 

In between her interview, Miley belted out some songs off her new album – performing ‘Edge of Midnight,’ ‘Prisoner,’ and a cover of ‘Doll Parts.’  Watch below.

 

 

 

Miley is also on the January cover of Rolling Stone magazine.  During her conversation, she explains on why her house fire ‘pushed’ her to marry Liam, “As you drown, you reach for that lifesaver and you want to save yourself. I think that’s really what, ultimately, getting married was for me. One last attempt to save myself.”

After dating off and on again for a decade, Miley and Liam tied the knot in December of 2018.  After being married for 8 months, the pair filed for divorce in August 2019.  Miley tells Rolling Stone ‘she wasn’t living a fairy-tale life that many people thought she was,’ “At that time, my experimentation with drugs and booze and the circle of people around me was not fulfilling or sustainable or ever going to get me to my fullest potential and purpose.”

Miley also opened up about ‘the world’s perception of her,’ “’Hair’s long and blond, she’s sane right now. She cannot be f—ked up on drugs. It’s when her hair is painted or she’s growing out her armpit hair [that] she’s on drugs. … She’s got a man. She’s living in a house playing wife.’ Dude, I was way more off my path at that time than any of the times before where my sanity was being questioned.  I don’t like ever saying anything in a very solid concrete way, but right now I have been focusing on sobriety as I wanted to wake up 100 percent, 100 percent of the time. If I’ve ever learned to balance myself and to not take it too far, I would. But so far any time I’ve messed with that, it hasn’t gotten me what I want.”

On her new album, Miley says, “I could say I f***** g planned it and I’m a strategic fucking genius, but I wish I was this strategic.  I don’t ever know what kind of record I’m trying to make when I start making it. And then because of how my lifestyle [is] and where I am in my life, it always fits and works because it’s just honest. I fucking grew up listening to country music; we’re storytellers. Every record is storytelling.”
