In a new interview with Sunday night, she spoke about what the tour is supposed to represent. “I think what this show kind of represents is just freedom to the fullest…I think—with me a lot—people don’t always know what to expect.”

As for what the tour gives fans, Cyrus maintains that people are often “surprised by how much heart this show has.” She even acknowledges the props that have gotten her persecuted among the media, saying, “We have all these things like the tongue and the hot dog and…huge furry animals and mascots because it’s fun…and I love the life and the excitement that it brings to the show.”
