Miley Cyrus Tried to Keep a ‘Happy Home' With Liam Hemsworth by Changing Her Image
On Thursday, Miley Cyrus made a revealing and rare comment on her former relationship with her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, while discussing her music career on the Every Single Album podcast. During the interview, Cyrus first mentioned Hemsworth in relation to their film The Last Song, which filmed in 2009.
'That's where I met Liam, who I would go on to marry and write a ton of—or, most of—my songs about,' Cyrus said, adding, 'Talk about catching strays,' in reference to how her songs have referred to their relationship in both positive and negative ways.
While talking about her 'Younger Now' era, Cyrus brought up her relationship to Hemsworth again and how she embraced 'innocence' in her image as a way to reconnect with him in her personal life.
'When me and Liam split up the first time with 'Bangerz' because I was this provocateur, like, highly sexualized,' she shared. 'For 'Younger Now', the reason I kind of played into this innocence was because I think it was a way to keep—a way to stay—by being younger now and a less sexualized woman publicly, and this was a way to keep a happy home.'
Cyrus and Hemsworth were off-and-on from 2010 to 2012, then got married in 2018. But they split up before finishing one year of marriage. Hemsworth went on to date model Gabriella Brooks, while Cyrus is currently seeing singer Maxx Morando.
During the podcast, Cyrus also briefly discussed her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, saying when they split up in 2009, she saw the singer as a 'dick' and 'asshole' who 'dumped' her.
'He's still catching strays,' she joked.
But she added that things were all good now, saying, 'I like Nick… I'm into him.. he's like married with children, we're all moving on. NILEY for life!'

Miley Cyrus hid cost of drugs from accountant by disguising them as vintage clothing purchases
Miley Cyrus concealed the cost of drugs from her accountant during the making of her 2015 album by disguising them as high-end vintage clothing purchases. The 32-year-old singer and songwriter, whose battles with drink and drugs have been well-documented, made the admission during an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast. Speaking about the period surrounding her experimental album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, Miley said: 'We called (drug purchases) vintage clothes. And every time (my accountant) saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' 'It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs.' So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.' The Grammy-winning artist went on to explain to avoid suspicion, she would tell her accountant the garments were 'really delicate' and needed to be stored away to 'protect' them. She added: 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life. I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it.' Miley, who rose to prominence as a Disney Channel star before launching a highly successful music career, has long been candid about her relationship with drugs. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, she said: 'Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom.' In 2017, she revealed she had gotten sober after rekindling her relationship with then-partner Liam Hemsworth. She told Billboard magazine: 'I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever (gone without it,) I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now!' But in November 2020, Miley acknowledged that she had relapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking publicly at the time, she confirmed the setback but said she had resumed sobriety within two weeks. Miley has also recently been in the headlines over a rumoured rift with her country-rock singer father Billy Ray Cyrus, but other reports have said the two have quietly reconciled.

‘Something Beautiful with Miley Cyrus' Review: The Star Co-Directs an Album's Worth of Music Videos, Celebrating Her Sexuality…and Herself
It's the rare pop star who doesn't use his or her sexuality in some way. But the current moment, typified by stars like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX, tends to be about showcasing one's sexuality ironically, or with an acid flippancy, or from behind a mask, or with a certain cool stance of meta control. Miley Cyrus never got that memo. In 'Something Beautiful,' a 55-minute visual album made up of music videos, co-directed by Cyrus (with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter), of the 13 tracks from her just-released album, Cyrus struts and pouts and lets it out, she throws her body around like a gymnastic weapon, and in a way she throws her beauty around, as though she were trying to sear the power of her erotic presence into our souls. More from Variety 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' Review: Netflix Doc Depicts High-End Deep Sea Exploration With a Lethal Price Tag 'Rosemead' Review: Lucy Liu's Revelatory Turn Is the Reason to See an Otherwise Downbeat Family Drama Michael Imperioli on Jack Kerouac, Buddhism and a Changing New York: 'I Still Love the City to Death' At the Tribeca Festival, where the 'Something Beautiful' visual album premiered tonight, the audience cheered every femme fatale glower, every showgirl flash of writhing flesh, every doffed piece of slinky punk designer clothing. It was clear that Cyrus staged the videos not merely as an orgy of rock-star self-love but as an homage to an era when the flaunting of sexuality was something that people felt less cautious about. She wants to take us back to the age of letting it rip. Miley Cyrus is pre-ironic, and so is her music, which is hooky in a heavily produced big-beat way that's starting to sound as from-another-era as Springsteen's. (To me, that's not an insult.) In the 'Something Beautiful' videos, you feel her trying to elevate her erotic maximalism into a kind of mythology. In 'Easy Lover,' she strips down to her underwear in a soundstage dressing room, then walks onto an empty Hollywood lot wearing light-blue ruffled chaps and a winged jacket, sauntering through that land of make-believe as if to say, 'What you're seeing is just…an image!' (Well, yes.) In 'Golden Burning Sun,' one of the catchier songs on the album, she's photographed in profile, wearing giant sunglasses as she rides a chopper against a stylized orange sky, singing, 'You're the only one, under the golden burning sun.' For all the independent spirit that defined 'Flowers,' and at a moment when Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' is being touted as a potential iconic summer hit, Miley Cyrus's ardent anthems can sound as old-school devotional as something from the 1980s. And, in fact, there's an '80s nostalgia hanging over the entire visual album. It's very 'Flashdance' meets Lita Ford. There is much windblown hair, and the video for 'Walk of Fame' opens on a rhythm track highly reminiscent of Bronski Beat's 'Smalltown Boy,' as we see Miley, in a little silver dress, strutting in the middle of the night along the abandoned but highly lit-up-by-street-lights-and-store-windows Hollywood Boulevard. You keep expecting Mia Goth to show up with a knife, but Cyrus is the only one there, and does she ever work it, bending and writhing over those stars on the Walk of Fame. Here, as in several of the other videos, I kept feeling as if one of those cliché fashion photographers must be hovering off-camera, saying, 'Yes, that's it! Show me what you got!' And then we arrive at 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved,' which feels like the climax to the visual album. It's set in an empty warehouse loft, with light shooting through propeller fans (very Adrian Lyne), and with Miley, in her primal assertion of feminine power, joined by Naomi Campbell, the two of them obliterating the need for anyone else. (The only dude in these videos is someone who shows up in the last one, looking like a Calvin Klein model as shot by Kenneth Anger.) At the premiere, a journalist sitting next to me said, 'There's no narrative here at all.' Given that 'Something Beautiful' was presented as a Tribeca Festival event, I think what she was hoping to see was a visual album that tried for something along the lines of Beyoncé's 'Lemonade.' 'Something Beautiful' is very much not that. Yet if the videos, with their confectionary nod to the eros of celebrity, lack any semblance of a storytelling through line, I wouldn't say that means they have no narrative. They tell the story of Miley Cyrus's relationship to sexuality and stardom. As an adult pop star, she has always borne a striking resemblance to the Faye Dunaway of the early '70s, but she's like Faye Dunaway without the mystery. Yet in 'Something Beautiful,' with the songs used as catwalk tracks, you see how Miley Cyrus, in elevating her erotic aura, is trying to be a performer of mystery — to let her beauty singe our eyeballs, to let it vibrate into the cosmos. Yet it's all a little insular. The final song, the video of which plays over the end credits, is called 'Give Me Love,' and it feels like the whole film could have been called that. We're the audience for Miley Cyrus's sex-power rapture. But we're also the mirror she's looking into. Best of Variety The Best Albums of the Decade

Miley Cyrus Heckled at Something Beautiful Film Premiere: 'Thought This Was a Concert!'
The post Miley Cyrus Heckled at Something Beautiful Film Premiere: 'Thought This Was a Concert!' appeared first on Consequence. On Friday night, Miley Cyrus premiered the film component of her newly released visual album, Something Beautiful, at the Tribeca Film Festival. The event was promoted as a 'one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs,' with an exclusive conversation with the singer to follow. However, some fans misread the message that it was a movie premiere and loudly heckled her while she was on stage. 'We thought this was a concert! We paid $800!' one audience member can be heard saying in a video posted on social media. Despite the host reminding them that the event was part of a film festival, they persisted and asked, 'Are you actually going to sing?'After more misinformed fans chimed in, Cyrus pacified them with an a cappella version of her 2009 song 'The Climb.' A comment on Cyrus' Instagram could provide insight into why some fans didn't realize they were attending a movie premiere. 'I bought my tickets [off StubHub] and it said MILEY CYRUS LIVE. It wasn't clear that it wasn't a concert so yea, for 1200 bucks for 2 crappy far away seats to see a movie and not hear any live music and not even knowing it until I saw chairs on the stage, yea I was livid and felt duped… I'll admit maybe it was my mistake for not doing more research but I will say that afterward there were several other people outside saying the same thing.' Fans will be able to watch the Something Beautiful visual album in theaters for one night only on June 12th in the US and Canada, with international screenings following on June 27th.
