00:00Well, Christmas, I'm known as a little bit of a Grinch because I have a qualm with Christmas.

00:05What is it? I hate paper. Like, looking at that makes me want to vomit.

00:11Don't even do it. Should I move it away? That's worse.

00:14If you thought Mariah Carey owned Christmas drama, think again,

00:18because Miley Cyrus has just revealed she has beef with paper. Yes, paper. The thing your

00:25printer eats and your Amazon packages are stuffed with. Miley wants none of it.

00:29The pop superstar and former Hannah Montana icon stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live and ended up

00:34delivering one of the most unexpectedly relatable confessions of the year. She has a full-on,

00:40no joke, phobia of paper. And not like, oh, that texture is weird. No,

00:44Miley says it literally makes her want to vomit. Like that book is like giving me hell right now.

00:49Yeah, the book. Cameron. Yeah, it's like in Jaws where you just barely ever see the shark.

00:54That's it. I've been kind of like. You know, that's you with the paper.

00:57Uh-huh. Yeah, you got to do something about that.

00:59I know. I'm working on it. The moment she sat down,

01:02Miley launched into what she called her qualm with Christmas. Not the music, not the fruitcake. No,

01:07the wrapping paper. The crinkly, dry, staticky stuff everyone else loves ripping open. For Miley,

01:14it's a seasonal hazard. And it turns out it's not just wrapping paper. The note card on Kimmel's desk,

01:19vomit inducing. The book he was holding, immediate discomfort. And if someone with dry hands touches paper,

01:25Miley described it as a real problem, complete with live gagging on national television.

01:31She even admitted she sometimes throws away heartfelt, handwritten letters without opening them.

01:36Not because she's cold hearted, just because stationary apparently feels like the enemy.

01:41So if you ever want to contact Miley, the method is simple. Text, email, or call. Preferably not on a

01:47landline, because those usually come with paper bills. Dangerous. Now, before you panic, rolling papers?

01:55Those are fine. Totally chill. Tablets? Love em. Books? Well, only if they come in touch-free,

02:01digital form. But cardboard boxes? Specifically Amazon boxes? Absolutely not. Miley says cardboard is

02:09extra dry, contains extra packaging, and basically exists to ruin her day. Which brings us to possibly

02:15the most Miley Cyrus explanation ever. She's engaged to Max Mirando, and one major perk? He handles the

02:22package opening outside, like a cardboard bomb squad. When Jimmy asked her a logical question,

02:28Miley had to reflect back on wedding number one. Will you even sign the marriage certificate,

02:33or will somebody have to do that for you? I don't know what to think about it.

02:36She thinks the paper was wax coated, but also admitted she had smoked one of those imaginary joints

02:41before the ceremony. So details are hazy at best. Iconic. But here's where things turn a bit more

02:47serious. Miley says the phobia is getting worse. She's working on it and actively looking into

02:53treatment, possibly EMDR therapy, or even hypnosis. And actually, she's no stranger to EMDR.

03:00She used it to help overcome stage fright, and told the New York Times last summer that the sessions

03:05saved her life. According to Miley, EMDR feels like watching a movie in your mind,

03:09but also dreaming, but also not dreaming. Basically a vibe that only Miley Cyrus could explain.

03:15So for now, the pop star is managing life one avoided sheet of paper at a time. And honestly,

03:20if Miley can face stadium crowds, global fame, and a literal wrecking ball, but draws the line at an

03:26Amazon box that feels extremely real.
