Miley Cyrus delivered a live performance of her chart-topping song Flowers for the very first time at a special event on Tuesday night. The talented 30-year-old singer showcased her impressive vocals during the intimate show at the exclusive Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles.
With its record-breaking success on Spotify, Flowers is believed to be inspired by Miley’s past relationship with her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. Dressed in a chic black minidress and matching gloves, Miley captivated the audience not only with her soulful singing but also with her witty banter.
While singing the heartfelt lyrics of the song, Miley managed to sprinkle in some humor, telling the crowd, “I’m the CEO of my own company!” This unexpected twist kept the guests entertained and showcased Miley’s unique blend of talent and charm.
Tip: “Flowers” broke records as the speediest song to reach one billion streams on Spotify in May. The song is believed to be inspired by Miley’s past relationship with her ex-partner, Liam Hemsworth.
During a recent show, Miley Cyrus wowed the audience with a special live rendition of her hit song Flowers for the very first time. The crowd erupted with laughter and cheers as Miley melodically mourned ‘the roses that you left,’ followed by a playful ‘now they’re dead!’ A fan in the crowd aptly summed it up, declaring, ‘Miley Cyrus’ vocal talent combined with her comedic flair equals the ultimate entertainment.’
Despite the massive success of the song, this performance marked the first time Miley treated fans to a live rendition. In addition to Flowers, Miley gave fans a taste of new music by performing an unnamed song that featured powerful lyrics like ‘Don’t leave me high / Don’t let me down / Cause I want you more.’
Many speculate that Flowers serves as a subtle nod to Miley’s past relationship with Liam Hemsworth, whom she divorced in 2019 after a brief eight-month marriage. The song seemingly references Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man, believed to be a track Liam dedicated to Miley during their time together. In poignant lyrics, Miley hints at the heartbreak of watching her marriage and the home they once shared in Malibu ‘burn’ to the ground with lines like ‘We were right / til we weren’t / built a home and watched it burn.’
Incredibly versatile: Miley kept the crowd laughing by cracking jokes, even pausing her performance to proudly proclaim, ‘I run the show as the boss of my own empire!’
Breaking records! Miley Cyrus is overjoyed as her song Flowers becomes the fastest track in Spotify’s history to hit one billion streams.
Miley recently posted a black and white photo of herself along with a message from Spotify, announcing that her song “Flowers” had become the quickest track to reach one billion streams on the platform. The achievement was reached in just 112 days, breaking a Spotify record.
Their home was tragically destroyed by the Woolsey Fire in November 2018, and a month later, Miley tied the knot with their partner. Unfortunately, the couple split less than a year later in August 2019. Miley later released a music video for the Grammy-nominated song on January 13, coincidentally on Liam’s birthday, leading to speculation that the song is indeed about their former partner.
Expressing gratitude to their fans, Miley took to social media to thank them for their support, captioning a video with “Thanks a billion. I love you.” The song “Flowers” quickly gained popularity, hitting 96 million streams in just one week after its release and topping Billboard’s Hot 11 chart for eight weeks.
Miley and Liam’s relationship spanned nearly a decade after first meeting on the set of “The Last Song” in 2010. Reflecting on their on-screen chemistry that blossomed into a real-life romance, Miley described it as the beginning of a significant ten-year relationship. Following their breakup, Miley has been romantically linked to Kaitlynn Carter and Cody Simpson.
Aside from their music career and personal life, Miley has been actively involved in philanthropy, founding the non-profit organization, The Happy Hippie Foundation, in 2014. The foundation focuses on mobilizing young individuals to combat social injustices, particularly addressing issues related to youth homelessness and supporting the LGBTQ community.
Destiny played a hand in bringing Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth together when they first met and fell in love as young teens while working on The Last Song in 2008.
