Miley Cyrus Says Touring Isn’t “Healthy” For Her: “It Erases My Humanity & My Connection”

Miley Cyrus is opening up about why she doesn’t enjoy touring. The “Wrecking Ball” singer explained why going on tour is not the most healthy of things for her.

In the Used To Be Young series of videos posted on Cyrus’ TikTok account, the former Hannah Montana star explains that traveling as a cheerleader helped her with touring. “That’s what people don’t really understand about touring — is the show is only 90 minutes, but that’s your life,” Cyrus explained. “If you’re performing at a certain level of intensity and excellence, there should be an equal amount of recovery and rest.

There’s a level of ego that has to play a part that I feel gets overused when I’m on tour. And once that switch is on, it’s hard to turn it off.

I think when you’re training your ego, every single night to be active — that’s the hardest switch for me to turn off.” She continued, “Having every day the relationship between you and other humans being subject and observer isn’t healthy for me, because it erases my humanity and my connection and without my humanity [and] my connection I can’t be a songwriter, which is my priority.” This is not the first time that Cyrus has spoken out against touring.
