Miley Cyrus dished about her engagement ring and a quirky phobia during her first talk show appearance since announcing her betrothal to Maxx Morando. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, she revealed her intense aversion to paper, especially during the holidays. The singer kept things light while hinting at her fiancé's savvy ring purchase.
Darlings, Miley Cyrus is serving up some holiday realness with a side of engagement glow-up! The "End of the World" songstress popped up on the Thursday (December 4) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live—her debut chat show spot since going public with her engagement to Maxx Morando. And honey, she didn't hold back on the deets about that sparkler.
Jimmy Kimmel couldn't resist teasing, wondering if Maxx realized that “if he waited, like, three weeks, he wouldn’t have to come up with a Christmas gift.” Miley chuckled, spilling, “It wasn’t [a Black Friday deal], but he was smart that way. It might have been. I’m not sure.” Smart man, locking down the deal early—talk about avoiding the holiday rush! 🔥
But plot twist: Christmas isn't all joy to the world for Miley. She owns being “a bit of a Grinch” thanks to her bizarre paper phobia. Pointing at the stack on Jimmy's desk, she confessed, “Like, looking at that makes me want to vomit.” Oof, the drama! She elaborated, “The real problem is people have dry hands and they touch paper and then it’s Christmas and it’s cold and everyone’s hands are dry and they’re all touching paper.” And get this: “When someone sends me a lovely letter, I don’t even open it.” Messy, but iconic in its honesty.
Jimmy, ever the pro, probed if she'd sign her wedding certificate—paper alert! Miley, the Black Mirror vet, clarified she's fine with waxed paper: “This is the thing is waxed paper, like anything that’s got, like, a smooth surface, that’s better, and from the last marriage, I think I remember that the paper is waxed.” Whew, crisis averted? Not quite—she admitted, “It’s getting worse, so there does need to be some sort of intervention, and I am going to look into some sort of EMDR, being hypnotized about it, because it’s affecting my everyday life.”
So, is Miley's phobia the real holiday villain, or just another layer to her wild charm? Spill your thoughts, tea sippers!
