The Instagram announcement accompanied a short clip where Cyrus was seen revisiting the time she first met her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth on the sets of The Last Song. “I’m just your average teen with 250 individual hair extensions,” Cyrus chuckled as she held up a photo from the movie's most memorable scenes.
In one of the first video clips for the new "tell-all" series, The Angels Like You singer revealed the kind of relationship dynamics she shares with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus on her TikTok. "My dad grew up the opposite of me. I grew up on a soundstage, like in a house with a family who was super close and all lived under the same roof, and I grew up financially stable and emotionally stable, I think, in my relationships also. That’s something that my dad didn’t have."
She got emotional while saying, "Him feeling loved by a big audience impacted him emotionally more than it ever could me. When he feels special or important, it’s like healing a childhood wound, and I’ve always been made to feel like a star,” she said before wiping away tears. “It makes me emotional, so I think that’s the difference."
