Talk about going viral.

Miley likes to keep it real in interviews, and she has been open lately about a series of serious medical issues.

But the health scare she just confessed to on Jimmy Kimmel Live! might be the scariest one yet!

While shooting for her new visual album, Something Beautiful, Miley caught a "brutal infection" after she rolled around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Why would she do that? Why, for the aesthetic, of course – duh!

They may have gotten the shot, but Miley might have needed to get her shots (from a doctor) after the experience.

"I filmed this video in October, and by November, on Thanksgiving, I was put in ICU for a moment," Miley said, noting that she was in the Intensive Care Unit because the hospital was full on the holiday.

"My leg began to disintegrate… around the kneecap area... and then the doctor goes, 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'"

The Flowers artist told him that she'd recently been dancing on the ground in Hollywood.

What caused Miley's shocking health scare?

"To have a surgeon look at you and say, 'Yuck,'" she said. "They open up cadavers! They see inside the guts of humans, and they're looking at me, telling me I’m disgusting. And they do brain operations!"

The Wrecking Ball singer and her crew had snuck over to the Walk of Fame in the middle of the night – despite it being dangerous after dark – so she didn't have to rent the space, which Miley said was out of her price range.

Apparently, the #relatable queen spent most of the film's budget on the gorgeous wardrobe.

Check out Something Beautiful, with the music coming out on May 30 and coming to theaters for one night only on June 12.
