Not only is Miller a close friend of Lovato, she also opened for the pop star’s 2014 tour. In February 2016, Lovatotweeteda sweet message to Miller, calling her an “honorary little sis,” adding, “[Heart] u girly!”

As Miller continues to make a name for herself in the music industry, she is also setting her sights on checking off some bucket list goals.

“Oh my god, if any artist wants to sing my song themselves I would be excited about it,” she says. “I like to write about whatever genuinely inspiring thing around me, whether it be a story happening to my friend or with me … or something I observe in the world I think should be talked about, more than it is already been talked about.”

And with new music projects on the horizon, Miller is focused on her career more than ever.

“I’m determined with my next album to write things that when people hear them, they’re like, ‘Whoa. Is she even allowed to say that in a song?’ I want to stir the waters a little bit,” she reveals. “I want people talking about things they maybe should be if they aren’t already. I just want to be truthful at the end of the day, above anything else.”

But Miller is also making sure to enjoy her downtime.

“I’m closer to being a 50-year-old person rather than a 19-year-old person in terms of the activities that I do,” she says, laughing. “I really enjoy spending time with small groups of friends and watch movies, have conversations and have a good time. I’m not about parties and that kind of stuff. Once you have good company, you could, kind of, do whatever you want.”

“It’s really cool [for] musicians that don’t necessarily already have the spotlight to find it and to work with artists that they like and record a song,” she explains, adding, “It’s for artists to support young musicians.”
