Miley Cyrus didn't attend the 2026 MTV VMAs for these reasons. Miley Cyrus released her 10th album, Bass Persuades, on September 18, 2026 which only qualifies for next year’s MTV VMAs.
She also won’t be appearing, neither as a presenter nor as a performer.
Cyrus will be singing at the Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and 18.
Miley Cyrus quit going to church because her gay friends weren’t welcomed.
During an episode of “Bright Minded, Miley told Hailey Bieber, "I had some gay friends in school. The reason why I left my church is that they weren’t being accepted. They were being sent to conversion therapies."
"I was also brought up in the church in Tennessee at a time in the ‘90s, so it was a less accepting time with all that. I had a hard time with me finding my sexuality, too."
Miley Cyrus collaborates with Peloton for launch of the fitness company’s “Let Yourself Run” initiative.
The campaign will also include the Miley Artist Series, showcasing music by Bass Persuades on the platform for Peloton members starting in October.
In a video posted on Peloton's Instagram, Miley wore black bodysuit and sheer tights.
French singer Amanda Lear accused American pop star Miley Cyrus of copying one of her songs, apparent similarities between her song "The Sphinx" and the American's new track "Redlights."
Cyrus released her tenth album "Bass Persuades" last Friday.
Lear wrote on her Instagram, "Thank you, Miley, for copying my song 'The Sphinx'! I'm flattered!".
Lear told AFP on Monday, "I've never been litigious, but my record label, Universal, and the publishers of the track, for which I wrote the lyrics, want acknowledgment of the plagiarism".
"I simply pointed out the situation by thanking Miley Cyrus and adding that I was flattered. I never threatened a lawsuit or retaliation'.
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.
Miley Cyrus will perform at Hollywood Bowl for the first time on Oct. 16 and 18.
She wrote on her Instagram, "It’s been a while. The Hollywood Bowl is my favorite place to experience music and see my favorite artists. I’ve sat in those seats many times, but I’ve never taken the stage".
"LA is my heart and I’m bringing it home. See you there."
Rock band Model/Actriz will join the shows as a special guest. The band’s vocalist, Cole Haden, co-wrote “Prelude,” a track featured on Cyrus’s latest album, “Something Beautiful.”
Miley Cyrus's fans in Kansas will get the opportunity to listen to the album three days before its official release at Permanent Records.
The event will take place on Sept. 15 at 5 p.m., and guests are encouraged to RSVP in advance.
Other places will be Alabama, Arizona, Colorado and others. The list of places is shown on Miley’s Instagram.
