"It's Not Natural": Miley Cyrus Retires from Tours

American singer-actress Miley Cyrus is known for her live performances, but don’t expect to see her on an arena tour ever again.

Some fans thought Cyrus might be planning a new arena tour to support her eighth studio album “Endless Summer Vacation”, which was released in March. 

The album includes the pop star’s smash single “Flowers”, which is the fastest track to cross 1 billion streams in Spotify’s history at 112 days.

During a recently published interview with British Vogue, Cyrus said performing in such large venues makes her uncomfortable and she would much rather perform in smaller, more intimate spaces for friends and family.

“It’s been a minute, after the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t. Not only can’t, because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?”, she said.

Cyrus continued, “Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love. There’s no connection. There’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone.”

The pop star’s last arena show was the Bangerz Tour back in 2015. The tour lasted 78 shows and stopped at venues such as the O2 Arena in London and the Barclays Center in New York City.
