Miley Cyrus is Getting Ready to Release New Music!

Miley Cyrus is opening about her life as she covers the latest issue of Billboard Magazine.

This is what the 24-year-old musician said to the mag:

On her upcoming new music: “This record is a reflection of the fact that yes, I don’t give a fuck, but right now is not a time to not give a fuck about people. I’m �giving the world a hug and saying, ‘Hey, look. We’re good — I love you.’ And I hope you can say you love me back.”

On quitting smoking weed: ” I haven’t smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever [gone without it]. I’m not doing drugs, I’m not drinking, I’m completely clean right now! That was just something that…I wanted to do. I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open. And I was noticing, it’s not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clear and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be.”

On wanting to be taken seriously as a country artist: “I’m down for hanging with Blake [Shelton]. I actually want to take �advantage of the fact that he’s there, [because] his fans don’t really take me seriously as a �country artist. One, I haven’t given them that music. But I’ve got a tattoo of Johnny Cash‘s autograph that he gave me when I was a �little girl that says, ‘I’m in your corner.’ Dolly Parton is my �fucking �godmother. The fact that �country music fans are scared of me, that hurts me. All the �nipple pastie shit, that’s what I did because I felt it was part of my political movement, and that got me to where I am now. I’m evolving, and I surround myself with smart people that are evolved.”

Miley‘s new single “Malibu” will be dropping next week.
