During an interview with Zane Lowe, Miley Cyrus revealed that she had an anxiety attack on stage in 2022.
She recalled, "I was saying to the crowd, ‘I’m having an anxiety attack.’ And they were like, 'Hell yeah, we’re having anxiety attacks'".
"I guess it wasn’t so much anxiety, as I realize now in hindsight; it was just a buildup of the cocktail of chaos, you could say. Living through a global pandemic like everyone else".
Months later, she tested positive for COVID.
Cyrus recalled, "In that moment I was standing on stage, and it was an outdoor show and I could see the moon and I started getting existential of how small I am and how I started thinking about time".
"And this is all while I’m performing ‘Fly on the Wall ... and in my head I’m like, ‘We’re all going to die one day,’ and I’m on a rock hurtling through space and my really good friend’s dead and I’m living in a pandemic and I’m really sick, and I actually can’t breathe for real."
“Truly my nervous system was just so shocked,” she said.
