Miley Cyrus revealed that she hasn’t decided if she wants to be a mom in an interview with W magazine published Monday.

“I’m 31 now, and I still don’t know if I want kids or not,” she said. “I feel like my fans kind of are my kids in some way.”

“I’ve heard Dolly say that too, because she didn’t have kids,” Cyrus added about her godmother, Dolly Parton, 78.

The “Wrecking Ball” singer, who has been famous since she was a kid, explained why she’s happy at her current stage in life.

“I love being an adult. I have a rule that I don’t look up or don’t look down at anyone,” she said. “I just look, which allows me the clarity to see the world for what it really is and people for who they really are.”

“I look at myself almost every day in the mirror and I say, ‘I am a woman.’ “

In her chat with W, Cyrus reflected on finally getting her due at the Grammy Awards this year, where she took home the trophies for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Flowers” — her very first trophies from the Recording Academy.

“No shade, but I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and this is my first time actually being taken seriously at the Grammys?” said Cyrus.

“I’ve had a hard time figuring out what the measurement is there, because if we want to talk stats and numbers, then where the f–k was I? And if you want to talk, like, impact on culture, then where the f–k was I?”

She added: “This is not about arrogance. I am proud of myself.”

The former “Hannah Montana” star said that she made “Flowers” — last year’s most-bought single worldwide — “to be a celebration of ­bravery, because I perform out of fear.”

“I didn’t always have the fear of performing that I have now,” she explained. “But going from spending two years alone and seeing no more than one person a day during lockdown to knowing that millions of people watch the Grammys is a big shock to the nervous system. Anyone who’s ever put themselves in a position to be observed or judged is brave. It doesn’t matter if it’s eight or 8 million people — that fear is there.”

“Before I went onstage, right as that curtain was about to lift, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, ‘I am free!’ ” Cyrus continued. “When I was 20 or 21, it might have sounded more like, ‘I don’t give a f–k what people think. I’m just being me.’ “

The superstar singer also enjoyed recent success collaborating with Beyoncé on the song “II Most Wanted” on Bey’s album “Cowboy Carter.”

“I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago,” she told W. “My mom would always go, ‘I love that song so much.’ “

“So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. I told her, ‘We don’t have to get ­country; we are country. We’ve been country.’ I said, ‘You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.’ “

“Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true,” Cyrus added.
