“We were thick as thieves, me and Mac,” Myles told PEOPLE over Zoom after her performance. “So it just was a lot, ほら? When you lose people like that, it changes the dynamic of your family forever, and it’s a struggle. It still burns that hole in our hearts.”
Myles — who is on coach Camila Cabello’s team — said that she chose to perform “Always Remember Us This Way” in honor of Mac since it “so beautifully describes what I hope our family focuses on: the good times.”
Despite the heavy subject matter, Myles impressively kept her composure until the end of the performance. She credited being able to do so considering she had already sang at her cousin’s funeral three years ago.
“That was probably good practice,” 彼女は言いました. “I remember staring at the stained glass in the church, just being like, ‘I am in another world. I’m just gonna sing and get through it.'”
