Miley Cyrus lit up the stage at the 2024 Grammys this evening, singing her chart-topping hit “Flowers,” from her Endless Summer Vacation album. The star wore a silver minidress as she got the audience, including Taylor Swift and Kelsea Ballerini, dancing.

This is the first time Cyrus has performed the song on live TV since it was released last year. She injected her own style into the performance, along with some sass, especially toward the end.

Fresh off her Grammy win for Best Pop Solo Performance, Cyrus took some jabs at the subject of the song, believed to be ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, when singing the pre-chorus. She said, “I didn’t want to leave you,“ then added, “but I had to. I didn’t want to fight—but we did. Started to cry but then remembered—I just won my first Grammy!”

Fans immediately leapt to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share clips of her stunning singing. Oprah was even jamming to it:

Both the song and the album received Grammy nominations this year. Along with her win for Best Pop Solo Performance, Cyrus is also nominated for: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Pop Vocal Album.

Ahead of the show, Variety reported that Cyrus had a “blow-you-away good” rehearsal on Friday at Crypto.com Arena, with a source saying she was “in fine vocal form.”

Cyrus received her first Grammy nomination in 2015 for Bangers, in the Best Pop Vocal Album category. The star was only 22 years old at the time. Her second nomination came in 2022 for Album of the Year as a featured artist on Lil Nas X's Montero. She joked with Entertainment Tonight at the time of her first nomination, “My friend was in my room and he said, “Hey, you just got nominated for a Grammy.’ And I was just like...I thought it was a joke.”

With Endless Summer Vacation, Cyrus did a series of interviews to share how the album has led her to more introspection about her past in the spotlight and as a child star on Disney's Hannah Montana.

She told British Vogue of her infamous performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs, “I was creating attention for myself because I was dividing myself from a character I had played. Anyone, when you’re 20 or 21, you have more to prove. ‘I’m not my parents. I am who I am.’”

She added, “I carried some guilt and shame around myself for years because of how much controversy and upset I really caused. Now that I’m an adult, I realize how harshly I was judged. I was harshly judged as a child by adults and now, as an adult, I realize that I would never harshly judge a child.”
