"It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road, which is a really important, kind of pillar of stability in my life," she explained. “Not only losing their life, but losing their mind. None of this that I create would ever be possible without the way that I think about things.”

"I've always, you know, I've had kind of a unique texture, and I've gotten really used to working with what I've been given and training appropriately, giving myself boundaries, because I realized how sacred it is to myself and to what I do," Cyrus said. "I always kind of sounded like this, but it's aged along with me and changed and evolved in all these different ways."

However, this doesn’t mean that Cyrus is completely stepping away from live performances. In June, she joined Beyoncé on stage in Paris during her Cowboy Carter tour and performed "II Most Wanted," which they co-wrote.
"When you're standing beside her, you can actually feel her desire and her passion," Cyrus said, referring to Beyoncé. "That to me is a win. It's not a trophy, it's not something physical that you hold or put on a shelf, but it's something that I have that's a true win."
