Miley Cyrus Opened Up About Her Plane Being Struck By Lightning: 'It Was Really Scary'

Miley Cyrus is telling the whole story of her scary plane ride.

Just a few months ago, the plane the 29-year-old musician was on was forced to make an emergency landing after being struck by lightning, and opened up about the ordeal during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

“It was really scary,” she admitted to host Seth Meyers. “I was in my mom’s lap because I was pretty sure it didn’t matter about the seatbelts at this point.”

Miley looked back on the day, and admitted she felt a bit uneasy.

“It was really very strange,” she added, “because it was unexpected weather, and a few things that day—when I woke up that morning I said, ‘Something just kind of felt off and not quite right.’”

While Miley and her crew landed safely, the music festival she was en route to had to be canceled due to the weather.

“There was just a lot going on,” she shared. “And everyone’s like—my guys in my band, who are just rock ‘n’ rollers, are like, ‘We got to get to the fans! We got to still play the gig!’ I’m like, ‘OK, no. We’re in the middle of, like, the forest in a broken-down airplane. There’s floods where we’re supposed to be going. The stage is sinking.’”

Earlier in the day, Miley performed at the NBC Upfronts.
