There’s a “traumatic” backstory to Miley Cyrus‘ “New Year’s Eve Party” NBC special when she rang in 2023 on the cusp of a medical emergency and health scare. The musician interviewed with Zane Lowe ahead of the release of her new album, “Something Beautiful,” and detailed the distressing and “extremely excruciating” experience.
The backstory had remained undisclosed until Cyrus’ revelation, as everyone could remember her zestful takeover of the stage alongside her co-host and godmother, Dolly Parton. That night, the dynamic duo performed several hits, with multiple other guests and “Saturday Night Live” stars joining them.
Miley Cyrus reveals she suffered ovarian cyst rupture during New Year’s show
Miley Cyrus’ night didn’t quite go as planned for her NBC special “New Year’s Eve Party” when she suffered from a “medical emergency” due to an ovarian cyst rupture. In her interview with Zane Lowe, she detailed her “pretty traumatic experience” on the show, which was contrary to what everybody saw. “I had a, uh, ovarian cyst rupture,” Cyrus told Lowe while recalling her unpleasant night as she rang in 2023. “We didn’t know exactly what was going on, so we did it, but it was pretty traumatic, cause it was extremely excruciating,” she detailed.
The Grammy winner revealed that she “did the show anyway,” but claimed it had been “really, really hard on me.” In fact, it was so distressing for her that she even considered discontinuing her music career — a journey she embarked on as a kid. But something the show’s executive producer and “SNL” creator, Lorne Michaels, told Cyrus helped her change her mind. In the interview, she recounted having dinner with Michaels afterward when he “said something that now has stuck” with her.
“He goes, ‘Six months, everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves, and then we start to rebuild,'” Miley Cyrus narrated as she remembered their conversation. Cyrus claimed she knew it was far beyond her “amount of time that I was able to shut down.” She continued how Michaels further shared with her about the countless artists who have told him about “quitting music,” as he explained to her that everyone “has these traumatic experiences.”
Ultimately, the 32-year-old singer recanted on her intrusive thoughts about pulling the plug on her remarkable career and gave her fans the music they deserved.
