Miley Cyrus actually can stop. Despite the name of her chart-topping single, “We Can’t Stop,” the songstress has opened up about taking a break from live tours.

She continued: “One thing I wouldn’t want this story to become is a complaint of being a woman in the industry. I don’t need this to be a women’s empowerment story. I wear my empowerment at all times. I don’t need to profess it.”

The new LP features a hit song called “Flowers,” which seemingly refers to her 2019 split from ex-husband Li
