Miley Cyrus has shared a detailed statement reiterating her choice to step back from touring. The pop star, who dropped her latest album Endless Summer Vacation earlier this year, revealed in an interview with British Vogue that she is not interested in embarking on another arena tour.
Miley Cyrus revealed that performing in front of enormous crowds is not her true passion, stating that she cannot continue to do it solely for the satisfaction of others. She explained that after a recent arena show, she began questioning whether or not she wants to live her life only to please others and not fulfill her own desires.
The announcement has caused a split among fans, with some expressing anxiety over the possibility of Cyrus never going on tour again. However, on the 24th of May, Cyrus addressed the issue by posting a message in the Notes app on Instagram to clarify her stance.

The artist expressed that her connection with her fans has grown stronger, and she believes that their success is interconnected with hers. Although she cannot meet them in person due to the current circumstances, she feels their presence in her heart. She aims to find innovative ways to stay engaged with her audience while prioritizing her personal needs. While touring has been one of the best experiences of her life, she clarified that her decision not to tour currently is not a lack of gratitude towards her fans but rather a preference to avoid getting ready in a locker room, which is an inevitable part of life on the road.
I’ve realized that the outfits I’ve been wearing for my performances are not easy to pack and travel with. The costumes that are considered to be part of history cannot be folded. Besides, I am not keen on sleeping in a moving bus. At this point in time, it is not the best option for me. However, as you may have noticed from my career, things could change, and my perspective on this issue could shift too. Fans have been supportive of my decision, and one even suggested that I could do mini-residencies in specific cities when I feel comfortable enough. Ultimately, I will do what’s best for me.
“I feel disappointed that I missed the chance to meet you in person. However, I completely understand why touring can become tedious and unexciting,” remarked a different individual.
