In an open and candid conversation on ‘The Zane Lowe Show’, pop sensation Miley Cyrus, known for her hit “Mother’s Daughter,” showered immense praise and encouragement over fellow artists Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. The three-time Grammy Award winner took a moment to express her admiration, admitting she’s a huge fan of both Roan and Carpenter after their standout Grammy performances earlier this year.
Cyrus shared, “I thought Sabrina and Chappell both at the Grammys this year, it was over the top pro singing. I’m just big fans and I just support those girls all the way.” Her commendation didn’t stop there. She continued to highlight the courage it takes to perform live, acknowledging the nerve-wracking pressure that comes with it. “I know that both of them were probably choking on their heart because it’s so much pressure, and they just nailed it,” she added, specifically noting Carpenter’s impressive SNL 50 performance that, in her words, “blew my mind.”
Cyrus’s admiration extended beyond performances. Reflecting on Chappell Roan’s rising stardom and her call for more respectful treatment from fans, Cyrus backed the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer. “I wish people would not give her a hard time,” she said, empathizing with the challenges of navigating fame in the age of social media. “It’s probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram. That wasn’t always a part of my life, and I’m not a part of it now. I don’t even have my Instagram password.”
During the interview, Cyrus also delved into personal territory, sharing her experiences around her Grammy win for “Flowers.” She described the victory as a meaningful milestone in her journey of self-healing. “I think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement…it was actually for healing,” she disclosed.
Candidly addressing her commitment to sobriety, Cyrus reflected on past struggles, saying, “I needed to fall one more time. And I just, I had to. It just never would have happened this way.” She acknowledged the moments she’s not proud of but credited those experiences as the driving force behind creating “Flowers,” a track she describes as pivotal to her healing journey.
Cyrus’s musical endeavors continue with her recent release, “End of the World”, the lead single from her anticipated ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, set to launch on May 30. Her journey highlights resilience and support for fellow artists, underscoring the power of music as both a personal and communal healing tool.
