Overview

  • On The Ringer’s Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus revealed she disguised her biggest Dead Petz expenses by billing drug purchases to her accountant as “vintage clothes.”
  • She described writing $15,000 checks for supposed designer tees and expressed relief at having made it through that intense chapter of her life.
  • Cyrus first got sober around 2017 after reuniting with Liam Hemsworth, declared herself drug-free in 2019 and says she recovered from a brief pandemic relapse within weeks.
  • She recalled a heart scare at age 14 during her Hannah Montana tour when undiagnosed tachycardia forced her to perform with onstage monitors.
  • After Disney banned her from performing Hannah Montana songs post-2011, the company lifted the restriction in 2024 by honoring her as a “legend.”
