Prior to dropping new single with Mark Ronson âNothing Breaks Like a Heart,â Miley Cyrus enjoyed almost a year off, spending time with her animals and fiancĂ© Liam Hemsworth. One hobby in particular she took up was paddle boarding, but it wasnât all smooth sailing at first đ
âThe thing I got into a lot was standup paddle boarding while I was taking my time off â I love it,â Miley shared. â⊠Liam is like an amazing surfer â heâs like pretty much good at every sport, itâs annoying â and he was out of town so I asked one of his friends, âYo while Liamâs gone, could you give me lessons so when heâs back I could actually go out surfing with him and itâll be so fun?â So I said fine Iâll go out on the paddle board and Iâm out on the paddle board and I was waving to tell his friend âLook at me! Look how good Iâm doing!â And I didnât know it was the signal for distress,â she hilariously continued. âAll of the police showed up ⊠they were like, âPlease never do that again on the waterâ ⊠so never like wave like âYay!â on a paddle board ⊠I didnât realize I was that far out [either] ⊠I always yell at Liam because I think they talk about surfing more than they do surf ⊠then I learned this is why we talk about it before because itâs really scary if you donât.â
The duo are now living primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, after their home in Malibu burned down in the devastating Woolsey Fire. Miley previously shared with Ryan on-air that the loss was devastating, but sheâs taken as many life lessons as she can from the disaster.
âIâve been spending most of my time in Nashville because with the two pigs, four horses, four cats, and eight dogs â thereâs nothing you can do,â she shared. âThis is making light of a very dark situation, but we had to go to LA that day [we were evacuated] and Liam was a hero and put all the animals in his truck and he had to spray the pigs with the hose to get them to go into crates because we had to be able to put them into the truck but then we had seven dogs and pigs in LA and I was like âWhat do we do with them?â And my dad [Billy Ray Cyrus] was like âBring them over to my house! Iâll take care of them!â So Iâm like âAlright, well, dad said we could.â So we dropped horses off at dadâs house ⊠and I was like âIs mom home?â He said they could sleep in his gym ⊠my dad is as country as it gets!â
Miley, who is performing on Saturday Night Live this weekend, is planning on spending time with her family for the holidays but will be back in studio again soon, continuing to work on new music.
âMore music is coming,â she teased. âI think sometime next year, hopefully not too late in the year and early January I think we are going to play again together. We are doing some shows in Vegas and ⊠then hopefully by the beginning of next year sometime Iâll have new music out.â
