Miley Cyrus 'I HAVE REGRETS'

THE SINGER REFLECTS ON HER AND LIAM HEMSWORTH'S 2019 MARRIAGE BREAKDOWN - AND THE MOMENT SHE KNEW TO WALK AWAY

- Penelope Clifton

it was June 2019, and Miley Cyrus was moments away from facing 200,000 festival goers from Glastonbury's main stage. Wearing PVC pants, a white cropped tank, and dripping in jewellery by Chanel and Christian Dior, her wedding rings were dwarfed in comparison.

She'd been married to her husband Liam Hemsworth for six months, but he was nowhere in sight. This wasn't uncommon for the globe-trotting singer and her homebody hubby, but there was something different about that day.

"The day of the show was the day I had decided that it was no longer going to work in my life to be in that relationship," Cyrus admitted during a TikTok interview to promote her single, 'Used To Be Young'.

After a 10-year on-again-off-again relationship wracked with "trauma", the singer knew it was time to cut the cord. "Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision had been made that ... me and Liam's commitment to being married, really came from, of course, a place of love first - because we'd been together for 10 years - but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as we could," she recalled to millions of fans.

Four years on, she does have one regret from that life-altering day, and that is not mourning her marriage in that moment. "Every bit of trauma in my life, when my grandfather died while I was on-set, I finished the scene and dealt with that later," she explained. "During [filming] Black Mirror, the house was burning down, I finished my work and dealt with it later. On Glastonbury, when that happened, I finished and dealt with it later."

Now, Cyrus lives in the moment, if not for others, then herself. "The work, the performance, the character, came first. Now, it's so important for me for that to not be the case," she shared. "The human comes first."
