Miley Cyrus Commends Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter

Miley Cyrus is giving Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter their “Flowers.” 

The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist opened up about her admiration for the pop stars in an interview on The Zane Lowe Show. There, Cyrus admitted she’s “big fans” of both Roan and Carpenter while commending their debut Grammy performances earlier this year.  

“I thought Sabrina and Chappell both at the Grammys this year, it was over the top pro singing,” she said. “I’m just big fans and I just support those girls all the way.”

Cyrus continued to applaud their Grammy sets because “there is so much pressure on live performance” and she knows first-hand “the courage that it takes and I know that the nerves get in the way” when taking the stage.

“I know that both of them were probably choking on their heart because it’s so much pressure, and they just nailed it,” Cyrus added. “And Sabrina at SNL 50 blew my mind.” 

Following Roan’s meteoric rise to fame last year, Cyrus showed her support for the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer after she asked fans to treat her with more respect.

“I wish people would not give her a hard time,” Cyrus said. “It’s probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram. That wasn’t always a part of my life, and I’m not a part of it now. I don’t even have my Instagram password.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Flowers” singer opened up about how winning the Grammy for the track “felt more like a band-aid on a broken heart in some way” at the 2024 awards ceremony. 

“I think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement,” she revealed. “I don’t know what it was, but I needed something to hold that made me feel like I had really won. And so at the Grammys, that’s why I went, it was actually for healing.” 

She, too, said that sobriety has “changed my entire life,” adding, “I need it, I live for it.” Cyrus and Zowe reflected on their 2020 interview, where she admitted she had “fell off” her sobriety after previously quitting drinking earlier that year. 

“I know I needed to fall one more time. And I just, I had to. It just never would have happened this way. I just never would have been sitting here,” she said during the Wednesday interview. “And there were times in that section from where I’ve seen you last time and now that they hurt, I’m not proud of them. Definitely not my best moments, not some of my best work, any of that. But it all led me to writing ‘Flowers,’ which then was some sort of just key right into the lock of all healing. It healed me so much.”

In April, Cyrus dropped “End of the World,” the first single from her forthcoming ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, which arrives May 30.
