In her TikTok series “Used to Be Young,” Miley Cyrus mainly focused on her career highlights, chronicling her journey from Hanna Montana lead to an independent pop star. But in a recent video where she discusses performing at Glastonbury 2019, her personal life came to the fore. Miley revealed that the performance was also the day – June 30, 2019 – when she decided to end her marriage to Liam Hemsworth.
Prefacing the video by saying she would be discussing something “serious,” Miley recalls: “Glastonbury was in June (2019) when it was decided that Liam and I’s commitment to getting married did come from, of course, where some places. first of all about love because we’ve been together for 10 years, but also after an injury and just trying to recover as quickly as possible.” Miley was referring to the couple who lost their Malibu home in the Woolsey fire in November 2018. She married Liam less than two months later, at the end of December 2018.
“The day of the show, I decided that I would never have another relationship like this in my life,” Miley continued. She continued performing despite what was going on in her personal life. “I know it was another moment where work, play, character came first. And I think that’s why it’s so important to me now that it’s not like that, that the person comes first.”
Miley previously went into more detail about what led to their split, telling Howard Stern in December 2020:
“We’ve been together since we were 16. Our house burned down. We were engaged – I don’t know if we ever thought we were actually going to get married, but when we lost our house in Malibu – and if you listen to my voice before and after the fire, they I’m very different, so the trauma affected me a lot voice. I was actually in South Africa so I couldn’t get home and my animals were tied to a post on the beach. I’ve lost everything. I had Polaroids of Elvis, for example, in the front row, passed down from me – I had a couple of grandmothers who gave me their Polaroids of Elvis. I’ve always been friends with my friends’ grandmothers so I can get merchandise from my favorite artists.
“I had so much and it was all gone, every song I ever wrote was in this house. Every photo of me that my parents gave me, all my scripts, I lost everything. And so, trying to piece it all together, instead of saying, “Oh, nature kind of did something that I couldn’t do for myself; this made me let go of the situation – I ran towards the fire. There is nothing abnormal about this, many animals do this and end up dying, just like deer running into the forest. You’re attracted to that heat, and I, being an intense person, don’t want to sit with that and think, “What could possibly be purposeful about this?” I just clung to what was left of this house, that is, to me and him. And I really love him and loved him very, very, very much and still love him and always will.”
