Before Miley Cyrus embarks on her Gypsy Heart Tour on April 27, she has a message for fans and followers: "My family is good."
The singer made this statement to The Associated Press, clearing up months of rumors and controversy, most of it centered on her parents' split, subsequent reconciliation and the scandalous comments her father made in between.
Heading to South America in a couple weeks, Cyrus said "you have to make sure everyone is happy before you start traveling."
And it sounds like they are. But is there a problem between Miley and her U.S. fans? Asked why she isn't playing any concerts in the States, the artist made an interesting comment:
"I just think right now America has gotten to a place where I don't know if they want me to tour or not. I just want to go to the places where I am getting the most love, and Australia and South America have done that for me.
The former Hannah Montana star — who has come under fire for her scantily clad outfits and outrageous behavior — says she’s not trying to make a “statement”.
“It’s not about how far I can push things so people will believe I’m not Hannah Montana anymore,” Miley says. “You just make the music that you love and because I’m growing up, you know, so does my music.
“It’s not about trying to make a statement about growing up. You know … you just do.”
