Matt asked her about her new sexualized image and when she thought it would end, to which Miley playfully replied, “I hear when you turn 40, things start to go a little less sexual so probably around 40.

She then teased, “Oh then you’re really definitely not sexual.”

She went on to say she didn't understand how Sinead could go and pick a fight with her, right after she tried to pay her a compliment.
