Hope For THE HOMEBOUND
Miley Cyrus is looking to spread hope and warmth to those stuck at home during the coronavirus outbreak.
She announced that every day this week she’ll be appearing on Instagram Live for a talk show she’s calling Bright Minded: Live with Miley.
Her first guest on Monday was her own therapist, and her second on Tuesday was Demi Lovato.
“I haven’t changed these sweat pants in about five days,” Cyrus said during Tuesday’s live stream, “and I don’t plan on doing it any time soon.”
“These afternoon sessions are all about bringing light to a dark time, staying positive and overcoming stress during this pandemic,” Cyrus said in a statement. “They also offer hope and escapism, optimism and a way to stay connected while we all try to social distance. STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY !!!!! xoxo.”
