(NewsNation) — It looks like Miley Cyrus wants to join Shane and Ilya at the cottage, saying she’s “so in” to record music for the second season of the much-buzzed-about “Heated Rivalry.”
Cyrus was at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala on Saturday, telling Variety that she wants to record music for “Heated Rivalry” despite not having seen the show.
“It’s all I heard about of how much I am going to be obsessed,” she told journalist Marc Malkin, who told Cyrus that she should contribute musically to the show for its second season.
“Oh, I’m so in. Book me. Get me booked!” she said.
