Miley Cyrus, the renowned singer and creator of “Flowers,” recently disclosed on the Every Single Album podcast how she used to hide her drug expenses from her accountant by labeling them as vintage clothes. This revelation offers a different perspective on Cyrus’s artistic and personal life during the recording of Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz and has sparked significant reactions in the media and among her fans.
Concealing Drug Expenses as Vintage Clothes
In the interview, Cyrus openly admitted that a large portion of the production costs for Dead Petz went toward drugs. To avoid raising suspicion, she recorded these expenses as purchases of “vintage clothes.” According to Cyrus, her accountant would repeatedly ask about expensive items like a “$15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt,” and Cyrus would pretend these items actually existed and were simply stored away.
The Role of Drugs in Cyrus’s Creative Process
Cyrus emphasized that drug use played a major role in her creative process at the time. She said, “Drugs were my biggest expense. To hide them from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes.” However, she also noted that after getting sober, her approach to making music changed, and while she can still write songs, she can no longer create the same type of work without substances.
Industry Pressure and Changing Perspectives
After the relative success of Dead Petz and the commercial disappointment of Younger Now compared to Bangerz, Cyrus felt pressured to return to themes of drugs and alcohol in her music. She shared, “They pushed me toward making songs like Unholy, even though I was completely sober at the time, which made me feel like a huge fraud.”
Reactions and Consequences
Cyrus’s recent confessions have not only made waves in the media but have also ignited discussions about the pressures artists face in the music industry and the role of substances in creativity. She also revealed that some people around her discouraged her from going public about her sobriety, fearing it would affect her “cool” image among young fans—highlighting the internal conflicts and social pressures many artists endure.
Conclusion
Miley Cyrus’s story is a striking example of the hidden challenges in the lives of music stars. Concealing drug expenses as vintage clothes not only exposes a personal chapter of her life but also reflects the psychological and social complexities artists face in their careers. This topic can inspire deeper conversations about mental health, addiction, and the pressures of the entertainment industry.
