The "Wrecking Ball" singer is currently gearing up to release her 9th studio album, Something Beautiful, which is slated to drop later this month. An Evening with Miley Cyrus Presented by Spotify served as an intimate listening party pre-release, and included a fan Q&A.
'I'm excited for my younger self to really experience this entire era because it has to start with me for it to be for you," Cyrus told her audience. "This album has to start with me loving it, and then the love that I have for it, whether you know it or not, is going to be coming through the speakers."

She continued, 'When you're listening, you're going to feel this fulfillment that I have. I'm excited for you to hear it, but also for the person who never thought they would get to make this album to hear it, too, which is me.'
Finally, Cyrus described the new visual album as embodying a "spectrum of beauty."
"Some of it incorporates heartbreak and loss, or death or pain—but sometimes it's flowers and rainbows, and new love," she told moderator Matt Peterson. "There's always something to look forward to."

‘Pitch Perfect' star Anna Camp responds to criticism of 18-year age gap with her girlfriend
A pitch perfect relationship. Anna Camp, 42, defended her romance with her girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, from the criticism of their 18-year age gap. 'I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is far more mature than any of them,' the actress wrote in the comments section of a June 21 Instagram video that mentioned their age difference. 8 Anna Camp and her girlfriend Jade Whipkey.

Since soft-launching her relationship with Whipskey on social media last month, Camp has been facing backlash for dating someone nearly 20 years younger than her. 'I can't imagine having the necessary common ground to start a relationship with a 20 year old. What could they possibly have in common?' one fan wrote on the same Instagram post that Camp commented on. 'If a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level,' another fan said. 8 Anna Camp with her new girlfriend Jade Whipkey.

Miley Cyrus says this type of therapy saved her life. What is EMDR?
Miley Cyrus is opening up about how she overcame stage fright with a cutting-edge therapy technique that she says saved her life. In an interview with the New York Times last month, Cyrus shared that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, has been pivotal for her healing and mental health. The therapy was developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the 1980s to help people alleviate distress around painful memories. The therapy has been used by clinicians for decades but has become an increasingly popular and sought-after treatment to deal with traumatic or adverse life experiences. "Love it. Saved my life," Cyrus said of EDMR. "It's like watching a movie in your mind. ... I came out of it, and I've never had stage fright again. Ever. I don't have stage fright anymore." Cyrus isn't the only celebrity who's been open about undergoing EMDR. In 2021, Prince Harry shared in his Apple TV+ docuseries on mental health with Oprah Winfrey that he uses EMDR to address the discomfort he feels when he flies into London, which he said reminds him of the loss of his mother. "It's almost a wave that can't be stopped because people are hearing their friends talk about it, they're seeing the changes in their family members," Wendy Byrd, a professional counselor and president of the board of directors at the EMDR International Association, previously told USA TODAY. "When I was trained in 2008, I would have to go in and explain what EMDR was and tell my clients why I thought it was such a good therapy. ... Now, I would say almost everyone that comes into my door is asking me for EMDR." What is EMDR? EMDR engages what's called the adaptive information processing system to bring up past traumatic experiences in a safe space, so your brain can essentially reprocess them. "EMDR allows the brain to heal from experiences that were traumatic or adverse or overwhelming by allowing the brain to process that information and to store it in a way where the brain now knows, 'I'm in a different circumstance, that's not happening to me anymore,'" Byrd said. Our brains and bodies have a built-in mechanism for processing information. But sometimes, especially when we experience a trauma, that mechanism becomes overwhelmed. When new information comes in that feels similar to that adverse experience, the brain stores it in the same place as the original trauma, Byrd said. This can make things in your everyday life that are not threatening feel dangerous. "It's the blue car driving down the road, or it's the dog barking, or your spouse's face in that one contorted way, and all of a sudden, you're upset, you're triggered and overwhelmed," she said. How does a clinician conduct EMDR? Byrd said in an EMDR session a clinician will ask questions to bring up the components of a memory, including sensory information – such as sight, sound and smell. A clinician will ask how your body felt during the experience, how you felt during the experience – the emotional information that connects to that memory. Eventually, the clinician will add in eye movements or tapping. This is called bilateral stimulation. Studies show that eye movements facilitate information processing and calm down a person's physiology. "It will make something that feels upsetting, less upsetting. It helps the brain make images that are very vivid, less vivid," Byrd said. "And part of that is because of what we call dual attention, meaning I'm present in the room with the therapist, or over Zoom, nowadays, and I'm thinking about that experience and it's all the ingredients that the brain needs to engage that adaptive information processing mechanism." More: Prince Harry said he is triggered flying into London and uses EMDR to cope. What is it? Part of the reprocessing occurs by the clinician introducing positive things into the recall. A therapist will ask, "What do you want to think now about that experience?" "It brings in the current information. Maybe the positive is that it's over, or maybe it's that you learned from it or that now you now you're worthy," she said. Byrd said EMDR works on various types of trauma, and most people are good candidates for the treatment. EMDR can be effective whether someone is seeking to address a single traumatic event, such as a car crash, or a chronic experience, such as bullying. What is the hope for a patient after they complete EMDR? Patients work with their clinicians to identify future outcomes they desire – how they want to think, feel and behave in the world. For Byrd's part, she said looking to build resilience in clients. "I want their triggers to be very difficult to find," she said. What health & wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter Byrd encourages anyone with a painful memory to consider EMDR. "People feel like sometimes what happened to them isn't big enough. They should just be able to get over it. ... And that just breaks my heart because I know that they can feel better and that they do deserve to feel better," she said. "I just wish that people knew that they could come in, we could figure out some of the things that are happening that are causing them pain, and that it would be not that long of a journey before they could get some relief."

Princess Diana's bold request was the one thing her designer refused: ‘You are a princess'
Advertisement Princess Diana was ready to put royal protocol to the test to prove she was a 'free woman.' The late Princess of Wales is the subject of the upcoming 'Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection' auction, which takes place on June 26 in Los Angeles. It will feature some of fashion designer Jacques Azagury's design illustrations for Diana, and fabric swatches from some of her famous dresses. 'It feels wonderful [to keep her memory alive],' Azagury, who helped Diana revamp her style during her final years, told Fox News Digital during a private preview at The Peninsula Residences London. 'Anything that I can do that's going to carry on the legacy of the princess, I will always do it… It's a way of keeping her alive really.' Advertisement Azagury said he met Diana in 1985 when he was showing his new collection in London. They were introduced by Anna Harvey, deputy editor of British Vogue. 6 The late Princess of Wales is the subject of the upcoming 'Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection' auction. Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images 'She immediately put me at ease,' he described. 'She had this amazing ability to make you feel completely at ease in no time.' Advertisement In return, Azagury would help Diana step out of her shell. 'In her later years, Diana embraced this sexier, sleeker look, which was my aim,' he explained. 'My aim was really to just get her out of all these frills and… frumpy skirts that she was wearing at the beginning. As her life was developing, she had to be on the international stage, and it was my job to make her fit there. Gradually, I simplified and simplified her right to the end until there wasn't really that much dress. It was more about the princess and the fit of the dress.' 6 Azagury said he met Diana in 1985 when he was showing his new collection in London. Advertisement According to reports, British royals are subject to strict fashion rules. And as the wife of the future king, Diana was expected to follow them. But as her marriage publicly crumbled, Diana was ready to send a new message using her style. One of the most iconic looks was 'The Revenge Dress,' a slinky little black dress that she wore in 1994, on the same night that her ex-husband, the former Prince Charles, confessed his infidelity on national television. Reports claimed that Diana owned the Christina Stambolian design for three years, but never wore it until then because it was too daring. Charles and Diana separated in 1992. Their divorce was finalized in 1996. And it was during the '90s that Azagury created 'The Famous Five,' a collection of dresses that showed Diana in a new light. 'This is a period when you see the Diana that we all loved, where she was feeling free from her marriage,' said Azagury. 6 Charles and Diana separated in 1992. Their divorce was finalized in 1996. Getty Images 'It was her new life starting. She was fit, she was training. She looked phenomenal, and these dresses were saying exactly what she wanted to say, that she was a free woman. She could wear what she wanted to wear. She moved away from royal protocol with the length of the dresses. It was kind of a rebellion, but not a rebellion. But it was her way of telling people that she's her own woman.' But Azagury admitted he wasn't prepared for Diana's bold fashion request. Advertisement '[She surprised me] only once,' he said. 'She wanted to go super short on the dresses, and we wouldn't allow it, particularly on that blue ['Swan Lake' dress from June 1997]. It was quite a low décolletage and quite short anyway, and she wanted to go even shorter. We just said, 'Look, you're not going to have a dress left and you are a princess. We've got to remember you're a princess.' So it was way short anyway, so that's really the only request we would not abide by.' Azagury said that one of Diana's favorite colors to wear was black, which, for the royals, is typically reserved for mourning. But the princess, who was thriving during the era of supermodels, wore several pieces by Azagury that were low-cut, figure-hugging, and showcased her bare, lean arms. Her 'Venice' dress from 1995 was a bright red silk two-piece featuring a short skirt. The 1997 'Washington' dress featured a deep V cut in the back. 6 'This is a period when you see the Diana that we all loved, where she was feeling free from her marriage,' said Azagury. Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images 'After Diana's marriage, she portrayed herself in a slightly different manner,' Azagury explained. 'She had total freedom… She could wear what she wanted to wear. She was able to wear black, which she's usually not allowed to wear because royals only wear black for funerals.' Advertisement 'So the minute she was away from that, the first dress we made for her… was a black dress we made for her after the Martin Bashir interview… a black sexy dress,' he shared. 'That was her way of saying, 'This is me, this is the new me. I'm confident.' And it had all of those things in that one dress. She treated the dresses like that all the way through.' And as one of the most photographed women in the world, there was no room for error, Azagury stressed. 6 '[She surprised me] only once,' he said. 'She wanted to go super short on the dresses, and we wouldn't allow it.' 'As a designer, my main thing was to make sure that every single little thing on the dress was perfect,' he said. 'She was stepping out of her shell, and she would have 500 photographers surrounding her, so everything had to be perfect, even though the dresses were very, very simple.' Advertisement 'It took a lot of work to get everything immaculate, and that was my job,' he said. 'We never had any mishaps at all. We just didn't want to end up in a circle of shame with a bit of something sticking out. So really, it was my job to make sure that everything was perfect for her.' Azagury created what royal watchers have coined the 'Final Goodbye' dress. It was a full-length black dress highlighting a plunging neckline, thin straps and a high front slit. Diana was fitted for it in London just before she flew to Paris. 'I think it might've been for a Disney premiere, so we wanted to make it more wow than the other dresses and make it really Hollywood red carpet,' said Azagury. 'All that had to be done was to [adjust] the straps. Sadly, she never got back to wear it.' 6 Azagury created what royal watchers have coined the 'Final Goodbye' dress. WireImage Advertisement But her legacy lives on, he said. 'The princess is still indirectly affecting fashion, affecting the other royals,' said Azagury. 'Of course, anytime that Kate wears something that possibly remotely looks like something Diana wore… it always gets compared in the newspapers. So, she's still there.' 'In a way, the dresses that she wore at the time, yes, they were fashions of the time, but they were timeless pieces,' he reflected. 'Any of the dresses that I made, for instance, could be worn today, and they wouldn't look out of place. There's something to say about her dress sense… it went quite deep.' The auction 'Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection' by Julien's Auctions kicks off June 26 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.
