Popstar Miley Cyrus has opened up about marriage, her sexuality and climate change a new interview with ELLE magazine.

The musician, who married Liam Hemsworth in December, said she is "still sexually attracted to women" and thinks "it's very confusing to people that I'm married."

"But my relationship is unique" she added, "And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it. I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f****** apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.”

Cyrus also touched on the 2018 Woolsey wildfire which destroyed the home she shares with Liam Hemsworth, and why she feels nature is sending a powerful message.

“With natural disasters, you don’t get a choice. You surrender. And nature’s female. When she’s angry, don’t f*** with her. That’s the way that I feel women are like right now. The earth is angry. We’ve been doing the same thing to the earth that we do to women. We just take and take and expect it to keep producing. And it’s exhausted. It can’t produce. We’re getting handed a piece-of-s*** planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child. Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I’m not bringing in another person to deal with that.”

Hemsworth and Cyrus have reportedly started rebuilding their home £1.9 million home. In a tweet after the fire Cyrus insisted she was one of the "lucky ones" as she, Hemsworth and their pets were not harmed.

In the ELLE interview she also expressed views about the rollback of women's rights in the US, particularly when it comes to abortion.

“We’re expected to keep the planet populated" she said, "And when that isn’t a part of our plan or our purpose, there is so much judgment and anger that they try to make and change laws to force it upon you—even if you become pregnant in a violent situation. If you don’t want children, people feel sorry for you, like you’re a cold, heartless b**ch who’s not capable of love. Why are we trained that love means putting yourself second and those you love first? If you love yourself, then what? You come first.”

Miley's upcoming seventh album She Is Miley Cyrus is scheduled for release this year.
