Miley Cyrus is opening up about a major question fans have been asking for years: Will she ever go on tour again? The pop star, who once dominated arenas during the peak of her “Hannah Montana” fame and beyond, is now revealing why life on the road may no longer fit into her world the way it once did. While she hasn’t ruled out performing entirely, Miley Cyrus is getting honest about the sacrifices that come with full-scale touring, and why she’s been holding back.
Miley Cyrus Admits She Misses The Stage
Cyrus famously stepped back from large-scale touring following her 2014 “Bangerz” tour, which was one of the most talked-about pop tours of its time. Since then, she has largely avoided committing to extended tours, instead opting for select appearances that allow her to stay grounded.
Despite stepping away from major tours, Miley Cyrus made it clear that her love for performing hasn’t disappeared. “I actually miss and love live shows,” Cyrus told Variety. “But me being on the road for six months out of the year and leaving my family and my normalcy and my routine is just not best for me.”
Cyrus’ ‘Hannah Montana’ Tour Era Defined A Generation Of Fans
Long before her headline-grabbing “Bangerz” era, Cyrus had already cemented herself as a touring powerhouse during her teen years. Her 2007 “Best of Both Worlds” tour, built around her wildly popular “Hannah Montana” alter ego, became an outright phenomenon, packing arenas across North America and catapulting her into superstardom as one of Disney’s biggest breakout names.
She kept the momentum going with a string of follow-up tours, including the “Wonder World Tour” and “Gypsy Heart Tour,” each one reflecting her transformation from innocent Disney child into a more mature artist.

While touring may be up in the air, Cyrus isn’t ruling out stepping back in front of the camera. The singer, whose last major on-screen role came in a 2019 episode of “Black Mirror,” revealed she’s been quietly considering her next move in Hollywood.
“I just haven’t found the right role for me,” she said, noting that she’s “very interested” in acting again.
In fact, Cyrus has already started developing her own ideas, hinting that whatever she does next will be deeply intentional. “I’d want a character that felt like an extension of me,” she told Variety. “Or something completely different from who I am.”
Cyrus Says She’s Finally Found Peace After Years Of Change
As for what’s next, Cyrus is embracing the unknown, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love changing,” she said. “Anything I say could be out the window tomorrow.”
Still, the pop star admitted she’s reached a place in her life where things finally feel aligned. “My life is so beautiful. It never feels like I’m swimming upstream anymore,” she shared. The shift marks a stark contrast from her earlier years navigating fame after “Hannah Montana,” when she admitted she didn’t always feel comfortable in her own image.
Now, with a more grounded perspective, Cyrus believes both she and the industry have evolved. “We’re much more tolerant and celebratory of people’s individuality than we were 10 years ago,” she said. “I would like to think that I’ve championed some of that.”
Miley Cyrus Says She Wants To Mentor The Next Generation
As her career has evolved, Cyrus has leaned on some of the biggest names in music for guidance, and now, she’s ready to step into that role herself for the next generation of artists. The singer has leaned on legends like Dolly Parton, who is also her godmother, Joan Jett, and Stevie Nicks over the years, and hopes to one day offer that same kind of support to younger artists navigating the spotlight.
“I never bow down to bullies. Anytime I feel like somebody is being bullied, I feel very protective of them,” Cyrus said. “When I see people struggling, I’m always the first one to ask, ‘Can I get in contact with them?’ I’d like to show artists how they can have a balanced life.”
