During her 2024 Grammys performance on Sunday night, Miley Cyrus made an unexpected shout out that had the audience buzzing. As she performed her hit song 'Flowers,' Cyrus couldn't contain her excitement and screamed out the lyrics, 'I just won my first Grammy!' This exclamation came just moments after she had won her first-ever Grammy award for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Sporting a stunning silver sequined dress, Cyrus opted to showcase her own choreography instead of relying on backup dancers. Her energetic performance captivated the crowd, but she couldn't help but call out the audience for not singing along with her. She playfully questioned, 'Why you acting like you don't know this song?' It was a valid question since 'Flowers' had gone viral on social media after its release in January 2023.
The star-studded audience, including notable names like Oprah, Taylor Swift, and John Legend, couldn't resist joining in the fun. They got up from their seats to sing and dance along with Cyrus, creating an electrifying atmosphere.
Before taking the stage, Cyrus expressed her heartfelt connection to the song and the joy she derives from seeing her fans enjoying it. She revealed, 'When I wrote 'Flowers,' I think part of its magic is that I had no expectations. I have a healthy relationship with success and numbers, and know that even though they may excite me, they do not define me.' Cyrus went on to express her happiness and gratitude when she witnesses others dancing to 'Flowers' with the same passion she feels herself.
The Grammys performance marked the first time Cyrus had performed 'Flowers' on television since its release. The track quickly became a viral sensation on social media and spent an impressive eight consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In addition to her show-stopping performance, Cyrus received six Grammy nominations in total this year. Alongside her Best Pop Solo Performance win, she took home the prestigious Record of the Year award for 'Flowers.' She was also nominated for Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album for 'Endless Summer Vacation,' as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for 'Thousand Miles' with Brandi Carlile.
Cyrus was just one of many incredible performers who graced the Grammy stage that night. The star-studded lineup included SZA, Joni Mitchell, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, U2, Travis Scott, and Luke Combs. Hosting the 66th Annual Grammy Awards was the talented Trevor Noah, and the event was broadcast live from Los Angeles.
It was an unforgettable night filled with outstanding performances, well-deserved wins, and a significant milestone for Miley Cyrus. Her passionate rendition of 'Flowers' left an indelible mark on the audience, further solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the music industry.
