Miley Cyrus shares hidden battle that almost stopped her Grammys performance
Miley Cyrus has opened up about the post-pandemic anxiety battle which left her afraid to perform in public and even led to her almost missing out on the Grammys, where she won two gongs. Singer Miley Cyrus has revealed that she suffered with anxiety following the Covid-19 pandemic, admitting she was worried about getting back out in public after being locked away for so long. While the pop star may appear to be oozing with confidence from the outside, she shared in a new interview that lockdown took it's toll on her sense of self and even left her questioning whether to go to the 2024 Grammy's, where she was awarded the coveted Record of the Year gong for her acclaimed album Flowers and the Best Pop Solo Award. Explaining that she went to the award show for 'healing', Miley told The Zane Lowe Show: "I wasn't going to go to the Grammys. I wasn't going to perform at the Grammys for sure because as everybody was post-pandemic, I was struggling with a lot of anxiety. "And going from being locked down for a couple of years to being on the stage in front of Oprah just felt like shocking to every part of my nervous system. And so I almost didn't do that. "And I started doing shows at the Chateau Marmont that were intimate and you know, all hand-chosen by me, and I had a celebration with the closest people in my life to celebrate the nomination of the Grammys." She continued, "But it was just so bittersweet because I felt like the whole night I was making excuses for why I wasn't going to go. One, it was, I was afraid, and there was fear. But I also don't think I wanted to ever look at how much it would mean to me to win." The rare interview comes as Miley recently cleared up rumours she was in a family feud with her mum, Tish, assuring that the pair are tighter than ever. Rumours began to swirl after Tish reportedly seemingly unfollowed her daughter on Instagram, but clearing things up, the latter put it down to a technical error. "I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us. She's my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me - simple, coincidental and uninteresting," said Miley on Instagram. Tish echoed this sentiment, explaining: "I didn't. Idk what happened lol. I have no idea how that happened but it's fixed now [pink heart emoji]."

Cannes dress code claims Halle Berry as its first victim
American actress and jury member Halle Berry at Cannes this year has already had to change one of her outfits as it falls foul of the festivals dress code. Image: Supplied Jada Yuan Just one day before its Tuesday opening ceremony, the Cannes Film Festival changed the rules of its always-controversial dress code, in a move certain to send celebrity stylists into anaphylactic shock. Nudity is barred from the red carpet 'for reasons of decency.' Fair enough. This seems intended to stop any stunts like Bianca Censori's naked outfit with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at the Grammys this year. Far more worrying - at least to drama-loving celebs - is the new ban on 'voluminous outfits.' The rules specifically call out 'those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater.' What does this mean? How big is voluminous? How long must a train be to hold up traffic? How many feathers and sequins must it shed? No one knows! Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Bianca Censori's naked outfit with Ye at the Grammy's this year Image: Supplied But what we do know is that the new rules have already claimed their first casualty: Halle Berry, a member of this year's competition jury. 'I had an amazing dress by [Indian designer Gaurav] Gupta to wear tonight, and I cannot wear it because the train is too big,' Berry said at the festival's opening news conference. 'So I, of course, am going to follow the rules. So I had to make a pivot.' Perhaps it is we, the viewing public, who should feel the most aggrieved - for being denied what could have been a major fashion moment. Kelly Rowland's dress at Cannes last year had a train Image: Supplied Berry did agree with one of the new prohibitions, though: 'The nudity part, I do think is probably also a good rule.' The new rules were included in an FAQ on the festival's website and made international headlines once observers noticed them. The language states that 'the Festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit Red Carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' But the vagueness on what, exactly, is considered nudity, or just how big a dress is too big, could lead to clashes like last year's viral incidents with a female security guard who rushed Kelly Rowland, Dominican actress Massiel Taveras and South Korean pop star Yoona up the steps despite photographers clamoring to snap pictures of them. The festival does run on a tight schedule, but many observers pointed out that the women being targeted were all women of color. South Korean pop star Yoona was flambouyant in pink. Image: Supplied Rowland, who was captured on video scolding the security guard, said she noticed that women who did not look like her were allowed to take their sweet time walking the carpet. 'The woman knows what happened; I know what happened. … I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it,' Rowland explained the next day. Could vague definitions lead to even more unequal targeting? Cannes has long insisted upon black tie at its evening galas, which is when the famed red carpets take place. For years, it was understood that men had to wear tuxedos with bow ties, no exception, and women would wear gowns with high heels. At my first Cannes, I met a well-known female film critic who had broken her foot and was denied entry to a movie she had to write about because she'd worn a flat shoe on her good foot. Then, in 2015, a backlash to the heels began, when a group of women in their 50s were denied entry to the premiere of Todd Haynes's 'Carol' for showing up in rhinestone flats. Some had medical conditions that made wearing heels impossible. Emily Blunt came to their defense during a news conference before the premiere of 'Sicario,' saying that everyone should wear flats, while director Denis Villeneuve joked that he and stars Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro would wear heels in solidarity. In 2017 Kristen Stewart removes her heels on the red carpet and continues barefoot in protest. Image: Supplied In 2017, with the heels rules still being enforced, Kristen Stewart spoke out about footwear equality: 'If you're not asking guys to wear heels and a dress then you can't ask me either,' she said at a news conference. The next year, while entering the premiere of Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman,' she pointedly took off her black Louboutins in full view of photographers to walk up the red carpet steps barefoot, just as Julia Roberts - comfort pioneer that she is - had done in 2016 at the premiere of George Clooney's 'Money Monster.' Jennifer Lawrence made international headlines at the 'Anatomy of a Fall' premiere in 2023 for lifting up the train of her red Dior haute couture gown to reveal flip-flops underneath - but Cannes veterans noted that she was descending the stairs, which means she was leaving the premiere, and therefore hadn't broken any rules. (And were they even rules? In 2015, as criticism mounted, festival head Thierry Frémaux said there was no official footwear code.) Jennifer Lawrence in 2023 lifted her dress at the front to come down stairs reveling she was wearing flip flops Image: Supplied 'On the heels side, I think it's a very good idea [not to require them],' said Juliette Binoche, this year's jury president. And, lucky for these jury members, who will be photographed on red carpets for 11 nights straight, the festival's draconian shoe rules seem to have relaxed. Now, women can wear 'elegant shoes' and sandals with or without heels - just no sneakers allowed - with such things as a gown, a pantsuit or 'a little black dress.' And for the men, even a nice, regular tie is permitted. Quel scandale! When pressed for specifics about the ban on nudity and voluminous dresses, the festival remained vague. The rules weren't even new, the press office insisted in a statement provided to The Post. The festival had just 'made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect.' Festival organizers weren't trying to 'regulate attire, per se,' the statement continued, 'but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law.' Where does this leave 'naked' dresses, like the filmy, nipple-revealing chiffons worn on the Cannes red carpet by Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner in recent years, or the peach-colored lace that Vicky Krieps wore in 2024? Would Florence Pugh get turned away for the viral sheer magenta dress she wore to the Valentino couture show in Rome in 2022? Or was the rule meant to bar people like the woman who was kicked off the red carpet in 2022 for stripping off her clothes in a pro-Ukraine protest? The peach-colored lace that Vicky Krieps wore in Cannes in 2024. Image: Supplied The voluminous dress ban seems likely aimed less at celebrities than at the many influencers and French models who snag tickets to the galas, then steal camera attention for wearing outrageous outfits that require multiple attendants to help them up the stairs. The reference to seating complications probably refers to the amount of effort it then takes to fit all that tulle down a narrow theater row once the dress makes its way inside. Voluminous dresses can also hide secrets, among other things. In 2014, America Ferrera was the victim of a tuxedoed prankster who tried to sneak under her flared gown at the premiere of 'How to Train Your Dragon 2.' Florence Pugh in the viral sheer magenta dress she wore to the Valentino couture show in Rome in 2022. Image: Supplied 'I feel something behind me, and there's this guy under my dress, and then two guys drag him away!' she told me at the time. 'It felt like a crazy, weird dream.' Not everyone can be Diana Ross at the Met Gala, the rules seem to proclaim. At the very least, the new rules will probably help stem the tide of what Frémaux seems to think is the greatest scourge of the festival: red carpet selfies. He banned those in 2018, calling them 'ridiculous and grotesque.'

Country music is booming in 2025 - but its biggest problem is growing
It's 2025, so perhaps you could be forgiven in thinking the country music genre has advanced beyond its exclusively white, heterosexual, male form. Just look at pop culture: Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter country album topped the charts and Chappell Roan's The Giver is providing queer country its big moment in the sun. But you would be wrong. 'It's really bad,' says Dr Jada Watson, who has researched country music, and specifically representation in the genre, for almost two decades. She explains: 'We're seeing artists like Lainey Wilson have remarkable success, and with the induction of June Carter Cash finally into the Hall of Fame, there are these little moments of sunshine for women. But white women.' For minorities, the big Nashville door is creaking silently shut – even though the sign, now battered and bruised, says everyone's welcome. To the uninitiated, Beyoncé appears to have conquered the genre. She won country album of the year at the Grammy's, after all. Her single Texas Hold'Em topped the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs Chart. But she's not penetrated Nashville, really. The Country Music Association (CMA) alongside the Academy of Country Music (ACM) – with the ACM Awards happening this evening – decide who will appear in the country music history books. Beyoncé, who hails from Texas and has just as much right to be there as any other musician, in the eyes of both the CMA and ACM is still not welcome. Despite the global success of Cowboy Carter, she's yet to even be nominated. Sophie Ward, 28, founded the popular country queer night Bonanza at The Boogaloo in Highgate, north London. It's a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community to meet like-minded people, and have a 'hoe-down'. It's also consistently sold out. It's 'free-spirited' and 'flirty', Sophie says. Nodding to Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Lil Nas X, Trixie Mattel, and Orville Peck, Sophie says 'their visibility shows there's space for queer stories in country music' which caused the trend to surge. 'Having listened to Chappell Roan talking about The Giver as someone from the Mid West, in the USA, it all seems to be about nostalgia and reclamation,' she says. 'Loads of queer people in America grew up around country music. Especially in southern rural communities. Reconnecting with it as adults can feel like reconnecting with it on your own terms.' This vibrant Thursday evening in North London is just a drop in an ocean of many others who are reclaiming a genre which has historically excluded them. But while the world revels in the big sexual and social awakening of country music, Nashville has its eyes tight shut. At least Shaboozey's A Bar Song (Tipsy) was nominated twice at the CMA Awards last year – but, despite it being number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart for 38 weeks, making it the longest-running No. 1 by a single artist ever , he did not win anything. He's up for best single and best new male artist this evening. 'Country so far has just tokenised him and not actually honoured him for breaking these new barriers,' Dr Watson says. The same tokenism happened with Beyoncé on country music radio; an engine that also largely comes right out of Nashville's Music Row, along with the biggest record labels, recording studios and country music giants in the business. While they were playing Beyoncé on country radio – after some initial push-back from stations refusing to qualify Texas Hold'Em as sufficiently country – they weren't playing music from any other Black stars. Of which, by the way, there are many. (Mickey Guyton, Rissi Palmer, Madeline Edwards, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, to name a few.) 'From the outside it looks like there's so much change. But when you really get down to the inside and what's going on, you actually see that in 2024 songs by women received 8.39% of the airplay on country format radio. 0.09% were songs by Black women, and almost all of that was for Texas Hold'em,' Dr Watson explains, having studied SongData statistics. '[On Music Row] they are all so interconnected, and they're all making decisions based on what the other is doing. But nobody is actually thinking about change and forward movement,' Dr Watson says, describing Nashville as seeing itself as 'one big family'. 'It's not about an equal division of a pie. It's about equitable distribution, so that individuals have the opportunity to move within the industry and have exposure,' she adds. 'Because all of this ultimately impacts everything else. If you're not getting radio airplay, your songs are very unlikely to move forward in streaming algorithms. 'You're very unlikely to get playlisted on Spotify or Apple or any of these systems. You're probably not going to end up on a main stage at a festival, if you end up at a festival at all. 'All of these things are linked to awards. And while awards might be meaningless to some, they mean something to history, opportunity and exposure to artists who've spent their entire lives building a career. 'They don't do it for awards, but if the only people being awarded are men, who gets remembered in history?' When the recording industry was developed in the 1920s, there was no racial separation in the kinds of music artists were creating. Two categories were then developed to market music – 'hilbilly' records, for and by white people, and 'race' records – for and by Black people. It was racial segregation – and it stuck. These names evolved over time into 'country' and 'R&B'. 'They are really just code for hillbilly and race,' Dr Watson says. 'These genres that have come to mean something stylistically are deeply rooted in a non stylistic discussion. They are deeply rooted in race and racism.' These beliefs from 100 years ago are still very much alive today. When Instagram page Country Central posted about Ed Sheeran saying he's considering making country music, the response was wholly positive. And if not positive, comments were at least mostly reasonable. 'He's already better than Beyoncé,' said one country music fan, while another reasoned: 'I personally don't think he will make it as a country singer but who knows he could surprise us.' Another pointed out: 'Broadens the music base. Increases the demand. End result = more country music.' Someone else commented: 'Amazing. He is a very talented writer. Can't wait to hear where he goes.' But whenever Beyonce is mentioned by the page, the reaction is quite different. 'Following the announcement of the @cma Awards nominees, we asked followers if #beyonce should have received any nominations. These are the results,' said the page, sharing that 5% said, 'yes', while 95% responded, 'no'. '@beyonce 's 'COWBOY CARTER' has claimed the top spot on Apple Music's Top Country Albums chart,' announced another post. 'She's not country. Get off the stage,' chimed in one follower, while another unintentionally nailed the point: 'I will never buy this. This woman hates America and what it stands for.' 'For me, country music is like a microcosm of the United States of America,' says Dr Watson. These defensive commentators online and in the real world either, a) don't understand the history of the genre, or b) don't understand systemic racism, she says. 'They've come to believe Black artists aren't present in country music because they don't like it, because they don't make it, because they're not fans of it, because it's not part of their cultural heritage. 'They think it is white because white people have historically made it, but nobody is willing to put in the effort and the thought into considering why Black people are absent… And are they really absent, or are they just not here because 'here' won't let them in?' The more mainstream the discussion about country music becomes, the more political and therefore polarised it gets – and the more Nashville folds in on itself protectively. 'Country recedes into itself, and it's like, 'We don't have this problem. Look at all these Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) committees that we've created. We're doing the work,'' Dr Watson says. In a post-Trump world trans people, women, and Black and other racial communities have all been the target of attacks from The White House in the form of efforts to eradicate 'gender ideology', anti-abortion laws, and forced closures of EDI programmes. These controversial policies are emboldening hateful language on the world's stage, and this is flowing out in the country music genre. One of country's biggest stars Morgan Wallen enjoyed 16 weeks in the top Billboard spot with his hit Last Night a few years after he was filmed using the n-word. Last year Wallen took home the 2024 CMA entertainer of the year award, despite the controversy. It's not all silence and doom, though. Progressive country musicians are speaking out. Country music star Maren Morris – known for tracks including The Middle and The Bones – announced in 2023 she was distancing herself from the genre. 'After the Trump years, people's biases were on full display,' she told the Los Angeles Times in an interview. 'It just revealed who people really were and that they were proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic.' On the ground in Nashville, voices like Morris' are being muted. More Trending 'This last year we've seen a lot of people, positions and programmes shutter,' Dr Watson explains. 'In the fall, Apple country radio shows that were dedicated to diverse and equitable programming were all cancelled,' she adds. 'Nashville doesn't actually want the industry to change, because then they start to lose control.' Got a story?

Met Gala snubs: It's the hottest ticket of the showbiz calendar but these are the celebrities who won't be walking down the red carpet this year
It's one of the biggest night's of the year as Hollywood's stars stomp the red carpet in their most glamorous and over the top designer looks. From the Kardashian's to Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter and Zendaya it is a huge night of fantastic fashion. However not everyone is expected to make an appearance in New York on Monday evening with some big names banned from the event and others choosing to snub the night all together. According to biographer Amy Odell, 'militant' host Anna Wintour controls every aspect of the guest list, ultimately deciding who is 'in' and who is 'out.' Kanye West hasn't been invited since 2022, when Met Gala director Anna vowed to never work with him again after his anti-Semitic rants. And even before that, he was a habitual Met Gal skipper - his last appearance was actually in 2019 when he attended with his then wife Kim Kardashian. Earlier this year he seemed to suggest he might crash the Met Gala 2025 after he shared a sketch to X depicting a figure clad in gloves and boots. While Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori sparked worldwide outrage at the Grammy's when she arrived on the red carpet in a completely see-through nude mesh dress worn without underwear. Recently Radar Online claimed that Anna was taking the matter seriously after an insider told the publication: 'Anna is not messing around. There's a full protocol in place if Kanye is spotted anywhere near the carpet. 'It's not just about the outfit – it's about the chaos he brings. After what happened at the Grammys, no one's taking chances.' They added: 'Anna has made it clear – no drama on her carpet.' Donald Trump is also very much not welcome at the event with some cultural commentators even remarking that the theme feels very pointed after Trump's appointment as President. Emil Wilbekin, assistant professor in the marketing communication department at the Fashion Institute of Technology explained the cultural significance of this year's theme saying it feels like a 'resistance'. He said: 'With the 'Superfine' exhibition happening in this era of [Donald] Trump and anti-DEI, the rolling back of civil rights bills, laws and policies, here comes this exhibition that's celebrating the very thing being rolled back. It's a very high and very intellectual form of resistance.' Anna herself confirmed that he was banned back in 2017 after she told James Corden on an episode of The Late Late Show that he was the one person she would never invite back to the Met Gala. Trump's last appearance at The Met Gala with wife Melania was in 2012. Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker is opting out this year due to work commitments. Since her first attendance in 1995 the actress, 60, Sarah has been a regular at the annual New York fashion event. Confirming she won't be able to fit it in her calendar this year she told Entertainment Tonight: 'I have to work... but there's gonna be so much to see and I look forward to seeing what everybody does. 'And I can't wait to see how they interpret the theme and the sort of homework they did for the assignment.' There is also a question mark over Hailey and Justin Bieber's attendance at this year's Met Gala. The model was present at every Met Gala from 2017 until 2022. Meanwhile her husband Justin has only attended twice, once in 2015 and then again in 2021. The singer has sparked concerns about his health and possible drug use in recent months after stepping out in public looking gaunt and hollow-eyed. It seems unlikely he will appear at the event, however last year Hailey promised she would be in attendance after she told her fans: 'I'm not going to the Met Gala this year. 'Gearing up for our next Rhode launch so decided to sit this one out but will be back next year.' Demi Lovato made a surprise appearance at last year's event marking her first time attending in almost 10 years. The singer had candidly chatted about her experience there in 2015 after she told Billboard in 2018: 'I had a terrible experience. 'This one celebrity was a complete b***h and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink.' She even admitted she went straight from the Gala to an AA meeting, saying: 'I changed my clothes, but I still had my diamonds on—millions of dollars of diamonds on in an AA meeting. 'And I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala—fake and sucking the fashion industry's d**k.' American author Tim Gunn was banned from the Met after he confirmed the rumours in 2016 Gwyneth Paltrow also made some pointed comments about her time at the Met Gala back in 2013 after she said 'it sucked' (pictured at the Met in 2017) Amy Schumer's comments on the Met Gala didn't get her banned but she has made her feelings on the event clear. Speaking during an interview with Howard Stern in 2016 the actress said: 'It's people doing an impression of having a conversation. 'I don't like the dressed up like a bunch of f*****g assholes. I don't like it. I have no interest in fashion...I don't care.' American author Tim Gunn was banned from the Met after he confirmed the rumours in 2016. He said: 'It is very true. It is a crazy story, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a very matter-of-fact story. 'I was asked what is the most unforgettable thing I've ever seen in fashion and I said, "It's easy. It was watching Anna Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs by two bodyguards—two big hulking men—from a fashion show." 'All hell broke loose. It was insane. We've had an open war ever since.' Gwyneth Paltrow also made some pointed comments about her time at the Met Gala back in 2013. She told the Kyle and Jackie O Show that 'it sucked' and 'it seems like it's the best thing in the always think, "Oh my god, it's gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you're going to see all these people," and then you get there and it's so hot and it's so crowded and everyone's pushing you. 'I think we're all a bit old to dress up punk.' But the star returned in 2017 and 2019 suggesting she was willing to give it another go. Zayn Malik attended the 2016 Met Gala with his then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid but made it clear he had no interest in a redo, especially as the couple have now split. He told GQ in 2018: 'Now it's not something I would go to. I'd rather be sitting at my house doing something productive than dressing up in really expensive clothes and being photographed on a red carpet…to do the self-indulgent "look at me, I'm amazing" thing on the red carpet, it's not me.'
