But how did Miley and Carter get to be friends in the first place? Turns out, the pair’s friendship may have actually stemmed from that of a mutual friend/family member, aka Brandi. Carter joined Brandi in her Nashville, TN, home toward the end of July to host an episode of Brandi’s podcast, Your Favorite Things. (Brandi typically co-hosts the show with former Bachelorette contestant and current Bachelor In Paradise bartender Wells Adams.)
