Miley Cyrus returned to Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California, to perform her hit, “Flowers,” and called out Kendall Jenner.
On Thursday night, the GRAMMY-winning pop star, who hasn’t toured since 2022, performed for nearly 200 people at the celebrity hot spot. This time, the event was to celebrate Gucci Flora, the perfume Cyrus has represented since 2021.
The atmosphere was thick with the mingling of fame and fashion as the singer performed before the audience in a little black Gucci dress that she accessorized with a chunky gold necklace and black sunglasses. “Why am I singing and you’re not?” she quipped, adding a playful note to the evening.
“Is that Kendall Jenner doing harmonies?” she joked, ad-libbing as she performed “Flowers,” changing “cherry red” to “Ancora red,” a nod to the color introduced by Gucci’s creative director, Sabato De Sarno, who was present in the crowd.
The audience cheered as she sang the post-breakup anthem with a personalized twist. “Started to cry, but then remembered… I’m the face of Gucci,” she crooned.
Celebrity guests at the event included Jenner, Salma Hayek, Kim Petras, Rumer Willis, Maeve Reilly, Chloe Kim, Kaytranada, Symone, Claudia Sulewski, Law Roach and Yves Tumor.
This isn’t the first time Cyrus has called out the crowd. In February during her GRAMMY performance of “Flowers,” the 31-year-old singer and songwriter took a moment to address the audience for ostensibly not giving it the energy that she was expecting.
“Why are y’all acting like y’all don’t know this song?” Cyrus said while on the GRAMMYs stage.
Two audience members immune to that criticism were Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey, who were both spotted jamming out to the song from the crowd, singing along to the words and dancing as Cyrus continued to belt out her now GRAMMY-winning track.
The “Wrecking Ball” singer also used the pauses in her song to shout-out her excitement over her first GRAMMY win, which came for “Flowers” in the Best Pop Solo Performance category.
“I just won my first GRAMMY!!” the exuberant artist said mid-song, causing the audience to burst into applause.
