In other news, Cyrus recently revealed that her forthcoming record will draw inspiration from a broad musical palette, from Britney Spears to Metallica.
In an interview with French radio station NRJ, Cyrus revealed, “I think the first single comes with a lot of pressure because it does kind of show everyone where you’re going. But again, in my sets, I cover Britney Spears to Metallica. So my record will be reflective of who I am, which is just kind of all different pieces of inspiration and influence.”
