Miley Cyrus was about to embark on a rather expensive excursion recently, before she was talked out of it by none other than Harrison Ford.
While one might not think that the 32-year-old Cyrus and 82-year-old Ford were friends, but the singer admitted she had known him for 'quite awhile.'
Back in August 2024, she made history by becoming the youngest ever to be named a Disney Legend, which she was awarded at the D23 convention.
Ford and Jamie Lee Curtis were both on hand to present the award to Cyrus, who admitted on Apple's The Zane Lowe Show that they were both, 'on my a** about different things.'
Curtis was trying to convince her - successfully as it were - to do the song Beautiful That Way from her movie The Last Showgirl, which comes after Cyrus opened up about feuding with her parents.

She added that Ford was able to talk her out of embarking on a massive and unorthodox tour for her upcoming album Something Beautiful, debuting May 30, which she ultimately replaced with a musical film.
'Jamie Lee Curtis goes you got to do the song for the movie you know and she she did the Last Showgirl so Jamie Lee Curtis is the reason why I did The Last Showgirl,' she said.
She added, 'I've known Harrison Ford for like quite a while just growing up in Disney and been in the same circles.'
He asked her, 'So what are you up to are you in the studio making an album or what are you doing?'
'I said "Well I have an idea." I said "Actually you know I have like a I made something i have a PDF on my phone i could show you," she recalled.
'So I show him and I show him my idea of Somewhere Beautiful which is performing in all the forests and you know at the you know pyramids and all these things. He goes "Yeah you really want to go and set up in a forest and do what?"' she said.
'Like he's like "What?" He's like "You're going to bring a crew you got." He's like "Looks expensive,"' Cyrus recalled of Ford's words, which dashed her concert plans.
'And I came back to the trailer i was like "Guys we're not performing in the forest anymore. Harrison Ford made a lot of sense,"' she recalled.
Instead of embarking on a lavish tour, she instead created a film, which she wrote and directed with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter.
The film will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6, arriving in theaters later that month.
'That's why I want to create this film is the film is my way of touring that's why I'm putting it into theaters because it's something you can watch night after night after night and you get to discover and you get to feel like you're a part of a of a performance but I don't have to you know tax myself in that way,' Cyrus said.
'My fans the way that they feel really connected to me the way that maybe you grew up feeling when you would go to a concert is how they feel when they see you know their artist interacting on social media and the way that I've been presenting myself is often in third person not because I'm speaking in third person but because I'm operating as it would be as an introduction,' she added.
