Miley Cyrus performed at a sold-out show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where many of her fans, dressed in crop tops and taking selfies, enjoyed the concert.
Although her former best friend Lesley likely wasn’t there, the venue was filled with enthusiastic supporters.
“I could not be more thankful for better friends,” she said at one point to the crowd. “I don’t think I realized how much you love me until just now.”
During her performance at the Barclays Center, Miley Cyrus, mourning her recently deceased dog Floyd, broke down in tears while singing “Can’t Be Tamed.”
The sight of her in black-and-white furry chaps, holding a 60-foot inflatable replica of Floyd, was both surreal and deeply emotional.
This moment highlighted the raw sincerity and humanity behind Cyrus’s often provocative public persona.
During Saturday’s show, Miley Cyrus showcased a mix of provocative stunts and impressive musicality.
While her performance included flashy moments like simulating fellatio on a man dressed as Abraham Lincoln, her covers of Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Coldplay, and Lana Del Rey stood out.
Miley Cyrus’s rich vocals are better suited to ballads rather than her more gimmicky urban pop hits.
Her pure love song “Adore You” felt overshadowed by a distracting visual gimmick, highlighting a tension between her artistic vision and the attention-grabbing elements of her performance.
Miley Cyrus remains one of the most dynamic performers of her generation, with her show featuring spectacular and surreal visuals.
Despite some clutter and distractions, the performance offered a unique and engaging experience. Madonna attended the show and seemed to approve of the spectacle.
