Miley Cyrus won the first Grammy of the evening, Best Pop Solo Performance, in an unexpected turn of events at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

The 31-year-old singer’s smash song Flowers beat out difficult opposition such as Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero, Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? [From the Motion Picture ‘Barbie’], Doja Cat’s Paint the Town Red, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire.

Miley was shocked when music icon Mariah Carey made the announcement.

Mariah, who presented the prize, shared a moment of camaraderie with Cyrus, saying, “This MC is going to stand by this emcee, because this is just too iconic.”

Miley, surprised, commented on the evening’s unpredictable nature, remembering her dash to the ceremony via rain and traffic.

Cyrus spoke about her experience at the Hollywood Bowl, emphasizing the significance of being given with the award by Mariah Carey.

Recounting the anecdote, she described the boy’s first battle to catch a butterfly with a net, only to have it land on his nose when he eventually gave up.

Cyrus linked it to her song Flowers and expressed gratitude, saying, “And this song Flowers is my butterfly.” “Thank you.”
