Paris Hilton is making a musical comeback, and she has Miley Cyrus to thank. The multi-talented actress, singer, and businesswoman released her second album, Infinite Icon, on Thursday, September 6, marking her return to music after an 18-year hiatus.
Hilton credits Miley Cyrus as the key inspiration behind her decision to step back into the studio. In an exclusive interview, Hilton opened up about how a single call from Cyrus reignited her passion for music.
The call came ahead of Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve NBC special, where Hilton made a surprise appearance alongside the pop star and singer Sia.
“When Miley asked me to come on New Year’s Eve to surprise everyone and sing ‘Stars Are Blind’ with her and Sia, it was magical,” Hilton shared, reflecting on the experience. “Being on stage again and feeling those pop star vibes was unforgettable.”
After the performance, Miley Cyrus praised Hilton, reigniting a conversation about her musical career. “She looked at me and said, ‘You were incredible last night. You were born to be a pop star. Why haven’t you released another album?’” Hilton recalled.
Paris Hilton explained to Miley Cyrus that her hectic schedule had kept her away from music. However, Cyrus wasn’t ready to let her off the hook and suggested a collaboration on the spot. “I was like, ‘Hell yes,’” Hilton said, expressing her enthusiasm for the opportunity.
Paris Hilton went on to describe how grateful she was for Cyrus’ encouragement, which ultimately led to her new album. “I couldn’t be prouder of how it all turned out,” Hilton added, reflecting on her long-awaited return to the music scene.
Infinite Icon marks Hilton’s second full-length album and a return to her early 2000s pop sound, reimagined for a new era. With Miley Cyrus as her motivator, Hilton is back in the spotlight, ready to reclaim her place in the world of music.
