However, she made the sad announcement that her grandmother Loretta – Mammie – had passed away.
“To my fans: I know it feels like I disappeared the last few days … but someone that means more to me than words can say did the same,” the Midnight Sky singer shared on Instagram stories.

“You will FOREVER be my inspiration and fashion icon. Even more than that the ultimate model of being a true LIGHT in a dark world.
“You are sunshine. Everyday I wake and see that fiery ball in the sky I will see your face. Then say a prayer thanking heaven above for giving me the best grandmother a girl could ever be gifted.

During the same interview, the entertainer also revealed she lost her virginity to the Hunger Games star.
Miley said: “I didn’t go all the way with a dude until I was 16. But I ended up marrying the guy, so that’s pretty crazy.
“I lied and said he wasn’t the first so I didn’t seem like a loser.”
Miley also recently split from Cody after 10 months together, revealing that the couple are taking time apart to “work” on themselves.
She added that they are still “friends,” but “individually just working on ourselves to become the people that we wanna be.”
On the other side of things, Liam is dating 24-year-old model Gabriella Brooks – who he was first linked to in early 2019.
