Miley Cyrus, the pop icon known for her bold style and vocals, recently expressed her thoughts on her Grammy achievements. In an interview with Variety, she shared her feelings of validation after winning her first Grammy for ‘Flowers’.
Despite her two-decade career and eight albums, Cyrus highlighted the long wait for recognition at the Grammys. “No shade, but this is my first time being taken seriously here?” she remarked.
Her recent wins brought a strong sense of pride. Cyrus pointed out the industry’s skewed recognition metrics, noting a gap between her cultural impact and previous nominations.
Her album Endless Summer Vacation received several Grammy nods, including Best Pop Vocal and Album of the Year. Her performance of ‘Flowers’ at the Grammys, inspired by Tina Turner, was a standout moment.
Yet, according to Variety, Cyrus criticized the audience’s lukewarm reaction during her performance, asking, “Why are you acting like you don’t know this song?”
Reflecting on her experiences, Cyrus discussed the pressure and vulnerability of performing at such a prestigious event. Despite her experience, she admits to performing out of fear.
Miley Cyrus recently collaborated with Beyoncé on the track ‘II Most Wanted’ from the Cowboy Carter album.
