Miley Cyrus: The ‘Queen of Pristine’ on Mornings, Coffee, and the Art of Life
Miley Cyrus, at 32, continues to captivate audiences not just with her music but also with her candid reflections on life’s intricate balance. In a recent insightful interview with Vogue on Wednesday, September 24, conducted amidst the buzz of her new Maybelline campaign, the “Flowers” hitmaker offered a glimpse into her surprisingly dualistic approach to daily life and her unwavering “zest for life.”
A High-Energy Start: Morning Person, Night Person Too
“I’m a morning person and unfortunately I’m kind of a night person too,” Cyrus revealed, admitting to a uniquely high-energy disposition. While she cherishes both ends of the day, she leans decidedly towards the dawn. “If I were one or the other, I’m a morning person. I am in the best mood the second that my eyes are open, and it’s unbearable for anyone else around.” This infectious morning vigor, she confessed, once led to frustration with friends who preferred to sleep in. Now, with a deeper understanding, she recognizes, “turning on the way that I do is as hard for them as it is for me to turn off.”
Unpretentious Brews: Her Simple Coffee Preference
Despite her natural effervescence, the “Malibu” singer, known for anthems like “Flowers,” emphasizes that coffee remains an “absolute must” to kickstart her day. Dispelling any notions of elaborate, celebrity-esque concoctions, Cyrus shared her refreshingly simple preference: “Today I’m a weirdo that did a cold brew and used regular, degular milk, no special processed thing from the tree. It is just from a regular old cow.” This unpretentious choice underscores a theme of authenticity that frequently surfaces in her public discourse.
The Joy of Organizing: A Holistic Approach to Life
“I am joyful when I’m organizing and cleaning — it never feels like a task to me,” she told Vogue. This meticulous approach extends far beyond physical spaces; it’s a holistic philosophy she applies to her entire existence. “Everything I do in my life is a little bit intense, but it has to be holistic,” she explained, drawing a parallel to her artistic “eras” being less about costume and more about “a metamorphosis or a true evolution for me personally.” Her commitment to this systematic refinement has even earned her the moniker, “Queen of Pristine,” as she meticulously “upgrades” “every corner, every drawer, every friendship, every family dynamic.”
Cultivating Serenity: Gardening and Sobriety
This pursuit of a pristine life intertwines seamlessly with her personal well-being. In an earlier interview this month with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, Cyrus delved into how gardening has become a “very personal process” and a cornerstone of her sober lifestyle. Since undergoing vocal surgery in November 2019, which prompted her commitment to sobriety, the act of nurturing plants has served as a powerful “medicine.”
“Gardening is something you do for yourself. When we’ve shared so much of ourselves, having those little precious times with something simple — like putting a seed in the ground and nurturing it — it becomes a very personal process,” Cyrus explained to Anderson. She elaborated on its therapeutic impact: “Having that has been the medicine that’s kept me grounded in my sober lifestyle. It’s part of a practice, the way yoga might be: getting out into nature, doing something with my hands, and having a creative outlet that isn’t about fame or success.” Through these seemingly simple routines, Miley Cyrus continues to cultivate a life marked by intentionality, personal growth, and an infectious, vibrant energy.
