“Oh my God, I got stuck in the rain in traffic, and I thought I was going to miss this moment. I could have missed the award, that’s fine, but not Mariah Carey. I just saw you at the Hollywood Bowl, and it was everything.”

“And this song, ‘Flowers,’ is my butterfly,” Cyrus added.

Flowers topped the Billboard Hot 100 for straight eight weeks after its release and broke Spotify’s record for most streams in a single week with more than 100 million listens.

As Miley Cyrus won her career’s first Grammy Award, another contender for that category was none other than Taylor Swift. She was nominated for her song, Anti-Hero.

As soon as it was announced that Cyrus had won her first Grammy award and Cyrus was celebrating her first Grammy during the performance of Flowers, Swift was seen cheering for her.

 

However, still, some can’t believe that she lost to Cyrus. Many were happy seeing Cyrus win it for the first time, though.

Music from the blockbuster Barbie (2023) movie received 11 nominations, including the record of the year for Billie Eilish’s ballad, What Was I Made For?.
