Miley Cyrus Rewrites "Flowers" After Sold-Out Shows

Miley Cyrus recently performed a two-night sold-out residency at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2026, marking her first major solo concerts in four years. During these performances, Cyrus made a notable change to the lyrics of her 2023 hit song, "Flowers." She updated the pre-chorus to include an ad-lib celebrating her accomplishment: "Started to cry, but then remembered I sold out the Hollywood Bowl."

This lyrical modification follows a pattern established earlier in 2024, when Cyrus similarly adjusted the song after securing her first Grammy Award. She sang, "Started to cry, but then remembered I just won my first Grammy!" Fans have embraced these changes, interpreting them as a way for Cyrus to commemorate her personal and professional triumphs.

The song "Flowers," released in January 2023 on Liam Hemsworth's birthday, has long been subject to fan speculation that it was written as a 'diss track' targeting her ex-husband. The lyrics and release date fueled these theories, along with perceived similarities to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" and references to their shared home burning down in the 2018 Woolsey Fire.
