Miley Cyrus dealt with a painful health scare while co-hosting “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” with Dolly Parton to ring in 2023.
“I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year’s show,” the singer said during an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of “The Zane Lowe Show.”
“I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. We didn’t know exactly what was going on so we did it.”
The “Flowers” hitmaker, 32, added, “It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway. But it was really, really hard on me.”
Cyrus hosted the 2023 NBC New Year’s Eve celebration alongside her godmother Parton and co-executive produced the special alongside “SNL” boss Michaels.
Per Johns Hopkins, ovarian cysts can develop for various reasons and most are “harmless.”
Though some can cause more severe symptoms, including lower abdominal pain and bleeding, which would require immediate treatment.
Cyrus said the health scare made her consider walking away from the music industry, but she recalled having a discussion with Michaels.
“I had dinner with Lorne and he said something that now has stuck with me,” she said. “He goes, ‘Six months. Everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves and then we start to rebuild.’”
She continued, “He’s like, ‘You have no idea how many artists have sat in this chair and told me they were quitting music. Everyone does this, everyone has these traumatic experiences.’”
Cyrus has since regrouped and her new album, “Something Beautiful,” is set for release later this month.
During the interview, the Grammy winner also addressed her Reinke’s edema vocal cord condition when asked about the possibility of going on tour.
“I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am,” the pop star told Lowe.
“But it’s extremely difficult to perform with it, because it’s like running a marathon with ankle weights.”
