Why Miley Cyrus is 'finished with touring'

Miley Cyrus is setting the record straight about why fans shouldn’t expect to see her on tour anytime soon.

In a candid conversation with Good Morning America on July 15, the Grammy-winning Flowers singer opened up about her decision to step back from life on the road, not because she can’t tour, but because she simply doesn’t want to.

"I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunity to tour. I wish I had the desire, but I don't," Cyrus confessed.

The pop star, who rose to fame as a teen idol on Disney’s Hannah Montana, has been open in recent years about prioritizing her mental health and sobriety – both of which, she said, are difficult to maintain during high-intensity tours.

"There's artists like Prince that are not here today that lived such a high-intensity lifestyle on the road,” she said, referencing the late music legend. “It's hard to maintain sobriety on the road, which is a really important pillar of stability in my life."

Cyrus explained that while performing in front of thousands brings an emotional high, it also causes a steep emotional drop-off afterward.

"You have so many thousands of people screaming at you — so dopamine, you're feeling a lot of love — and then you totally crash at the end of the show,” she shared. “You start thinking that one person loving you is not enough. It needs to be 10,000, it needs to be 80,000."

The 31-year-old singer’s last major tour was the Bangerz Tour in 2014, which drew large crowds and rave reviews but also marked a time in her life filled with wild headlines and personal struggles.

Since then, Cyrus has pivoted toward a more grounded lifestyle, focusing on intimate performances, studio work, and her journey of self-discovery. Her 2023 hit Flowers, widely regarded as an anthem of self-love and independence, further cemented her evolution as an artist and person.

While fans may be disappointed by her decision, Cyrus' honesty about her boundaries has been widely praised. Many supporters have applauded her for choosing health and emotional balance over fame-driven demands.
