Miley Cyrus 'Didn't Make a Dime' on Her Bangerz Tour. Here's Why

Go hard or go home. Miley Cyrus wanted her Bangerz tour to be over-the-top, and when producers wouldn’t fund the crazy stage props she needed to pull it off, she bought them herself.

“The Bangerz tour was an investment in myself,” the Hannah Montana star says in a recent installment of her TikTok series reflecting on major moments over the course of her career. “A lot of these [staging] ideas were kind of so outlandish that no one really wanted to support me in making these pieces—I had big puppets, oversized beds, I came out of my own face on my tongue. When everyone kept saying, ‘Why are you doing this? You’re going to do, like, 100 shows and not going to make any money.’ I said, ‘There’s no one I would rather invest in than myself.’ So I paid for it all to make it exactly what I thought I and the fans deserved.”

Clearly proud of her decision, Miley Cyrus summed it up thusly: “I didn’t make a dime on this tour because I wanted the tour to be excellent.”
