Miley Cyrus, who recently released her ninth album, candidly opened up about her drug use before going sober in 2020, and the shocking way she hid the costs from her accountant
Music and fashion icon Miley Cyrus has opened up on the shocking ways she managed to hide her drug use and spending from her personal accountant. The 32-year-old ‘Flowers’ singer candidly opened up about her drug use before going sober in 2020.
The singers ‘biggest cost’ in the past was reportedly drugs, which she covered up by claiming she was buying vintage clothes. Reflecting on the past, Miley said: “We called them vintage clothes and every time [my accountant] saw me, she’d be like, ‘Where’s that, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?’ It’s like, ‘Oh, it’s upstairs.,” as reported in Blast.
Miley also revealed that the more ‘expensive items’ she bought, she would claim have been stored away for preservation, claiming that they are ‘really delicate’ and that she wants to ‘protect them’. Miley jokingly added: “So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year”.
The former Disney star also spoke more seriously about her time and experience with drugs, and said she was ‘so glad’ that she ‘survived’ that time in her life.
Miley reportedly said: “I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard. But the fact that I got through it. I’m very glad I got to do it.”
Miley has been candid about her past struggles with drug use and the journey that led her to sobriety. Having grown up in the spotlight due to her Disney Channel fame as Hannah Montana, Miley experienced an early and intense level of fame that she later said contributed to her experimentation with drugs and alcohol.
In a 2020 interview with Variety, Cyrus revealed she had decided to go sober after undergoing vocal cord surgery in late 2019. Initially, it was a health-related decision, but she soon found sobriety brought clarity.
Speaking about her sober challenges, she told Variety at the time: “It’s really hard because especially being young, there’s that stigma of “you’re no fun.” It’s like, “honey, you can call me a lot of things, but I know that I’m fun.”
The Wrecking Ball singer added: “The thing that I love about it is waking up 100%, 100% of the time. I don’t want to wake up feeling groggy. I want to wake up feeling ready.”
Miley has continued creating music and has just released her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, on May 30, 2025. The new album features collaborations with artists such as Brittany Howard, Naomi Campbell, and Cyrus’s boyfriend Maxx Morando.
The lead single, End of the World, was released on April 3, and has been well received by fans and critics. The New York Times called it a “luxurious pop extravaganza,” while Atwood Magazine described it as “an anthem for the present moment with an exhilarating blend of hedonism, nostalgia, and defiance in the face of looming uncertainty.”
