Miley Cyrus, the ‘Hannah Montana’ star, used to disguise her clothes as high-end vintage to hide the cost of drugs from her accountant while she was making her 2015 album, ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’.
Miley Cyrus gets candid about drugs
In an interview with The Ringer’s Every Single Album podcast, Miley revealed that drugs were a ‘super important’ part of the creative process, but came at the biggest cost. “The drugs were the biggest cost. To hide those from my accountant, we called them ‘vintage clothes.’ And so she would get these checks of thousands of dollars’ worth of vintage clothes,” she said.However, the ‘Flowers’ singer’s accountant would then ask her to see the merchandise of the purchase. Recalling the conversation, the 32-year-old said, “Every time she saw me, she’d be like, ‘Where’s that $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?” “It’s like, ‘Oh, it’s upstairs. Would you like some?’ So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year,” she added, according to Entertainment Weekly. Furthermore, Cyrus stated that her approach towards songwriting is different when she is not indulging in any substance. “I feel like the things that I was able to find — I can write songs as well [while sober], but I can’t find things like ‘Tangerine,” she added.
Miley Cyrus’s sobriety is like her god…
During an interview with Zane Lowe, Miley had stated that sobriety is ‘like my god,’ to which she responded in the aforementioned podcast as a little too dramatic moment. “That was a little dramatic because someone used that as a quote, and I was like, ‘Okay, I wouldn’t say it’s my god. I’m not gonna go into — I don’t do meetings or anything,” Miley Cyrus said. Cyrus said that she struggled to find commercial success for her 2015 and 2017 albums, like her previous 2013 album. Under pressure, she felt compelled to perform more with drugs and alcohol for her 2019 album.
