Miley Cyrus is telling the story of her terrifying plane ride.

Just some months ago, the plane Miley was on was forced to make an emergency landing after it was struck by lightning. 

In an appearance on Late Night with Seth Myers, the 29-year-old musician spoke about the fearsome experience, saying:

“It was really scary. I was in my mom’s lap because I was pretty sure it didn’t matter about the seatbelts at this point.”

She went on to share that looking back on that day, she had actually been feeling very uneasy:

“It was really very strange, 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.’”

Miley and her crew were able to land safely, but the music festival she was en route to was canceled due to the terrible weather:

“There was just a lot going on. 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.’”
