Miley Cyrus claims she doesn’t want to tour anymore, questions living ‘my life’ for others ‘pleasure’

[Anonymous]

I don't think touring is some noble thing an artist shouldn't give up on. A regular middle class person can't afford TS tickets. It's terrible. You want to embark an extremely grueling tour schedule to entertain pretty much exclusively millionaires? I wouldn't either.

I mean, does she even have enough good music to tour with? Wrecking Ball was a good song. Party in the USA is a weird ear worm that is somehow not a good song and yet I randomly know all the words and kind of like it anyway? I love the idea behind Flowers and some of the lyrics, but think that musically it's pretty uninspired -- just standard dance ballad intended for club play. Struggling to think of others.

She doesn't have the catalog that Swift or Beyonce or even someone like Katy Perry has. Also, her musical career has been kind of weird because she has her Hannah Montana years (which she would never sing now) and then she has her highly reactionary "I'm not a Disney Star -- I'm a sexy woman!" phase which produced a few hits but was also kind of over the top and in some cases really obnoxious (like when she decide she was "gangsta" and wore a metal grill and twerked onstage -- basically cosplaying as a black girl for credibility). She has had some decent success since then as she's settled down again, but it doesn't all hang together very well in the way that, say, Swift's catalog does.

It's hard to imagine her putting together a compelling show and who would buy tickets to it. Does she have a real fan base, or just people will sometimes latch on to one of her songs when it's decent and well-promoted. I have certainly never listened to an entire Miley Cyrus song start to finish.

You say this only because you’re not a fan and aren’t real familiar with her music. She has plenty of songs of her own to do a great concert and also does outstanding and really interesting covers of other people’s songs that her fans really enjoy.

She’s literally worth hundreds of millions of dollars so she’s been doing something right and obviously somebody likes her.

You’re just jealous.

She has grown into a stunning and beautiful woman. Talk about being in great shape!!! Healthy, athletic and not too skinny.

Huh? If you look at the black and white photo she looks like a twelve year-old. If she were any skinnier she would be skeletal. I personally can’t get past her smattering of tats. I don’t find her attractive at all.

Just because she’s not obese like the average American doesn’t mean she “looks like a 12 year old.”

She hasn't toured since 2014, so maybe actually she does not have the fan base for touring. She can spin it as "I don't want to," but there is a question as to whether there is demand. I have never heard someone say "when is Miley going to tour again?" I am not convinced there is demand.

It's not a value judgment, it's an observation. I'm not comparing Miley to me. I am comparing her to contemporaries like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry, all of whom have toured much more extensively in recent years. I don't think the difference is just that Miley doesn't want to -- these other artists have much more tour-friendly fan bases and musical catalogs.

Weird to argue I am jealous of Miley Cyrus but somehow not jealous of Beyoncé or Taylor Swift who are objectively more successful and have also had less tumultuous/troubled personal lives than Miley, who has dealt with some bad relationships, substance-abuse issues, and mental health concerns. If I had to pick a pop star to be jealous of, I probably would not pick Miley.

I doubt she’s stable enough to tour. It’s grueling. Plus, why bother if you don’t need to?

I wonder if she’ll try to do another film?

I wonder if she wants kids?

Look at the black and white photo again. She doesn’t look like a healthy thirty year-old.

Yea, you’re right. She has no fan base. That’s why she has 208 MILLION followers on Instagram.

I assume she's tired, since she's been working in the public eye most of her life.

[Anonymous]

Her whole career is about creating things for other people’s enjoyment. The whole premise of an economy is structured on consumption. If she doesn’t want to participate, she can be a hunter gatherer.

What she is really saying is that she has been working since she was a tween, she’s burnt out and emotionally exhausted, and she needs a break from it too take care of herself and enjoy her life. That’s fine. Commendable, even. But other people aren’t her problem. Her problem was that she was exploited by her parents and managers as a young kid and now she is a drained and jaded as an adult.

I didn't say she had no fan base. I said her fan base is different than those that consistently produce sold out tours. Following someone on Instagram is not the same as dropping $200 on a ticket to their show.

+1 Her parents never really functioned as parents. At all.

She does a lot of covers well. She doesn't need original songs to tour.
