Summary

Meg Donnelly is in the house! You know her from Disney’s Zombies movies and The Winchesters, but now she’s taking over the music world with a brand-new EP. Tish and Brandi Cyrus sit down with Meg to talk about what it’s really like growing up on set, juggling school and filming, and making the leap from Disney star to full-on pop artist.

They get into everything—breaking out of the Disney box, Broadway dreams, the pressures of social media, and how Meg stays grounded in an industry that never slows down. Plus, the girls chat about female friendships, life after COVID, and why live performance hits different these days.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Sorry We’re Cyrus without a little tea, and a rapid-fire Q&A you don’t want to miss. Oh, and Meg spills all the details on her new EP Dying Art and the next Zombies movie!
