00:00 Miley Cyrus graced the stage in a stunning silver dress, a radiant vision while delivering

00:05 a mesmerizing performance of the iconic song "Flowers."

00:13 Her voluminous, blown out hair added to the glamour as she confidently commanded the stage.

00:18 The silver dress was swaying elegantly with each dance move and note sung.

00:22 Miley's flawless frame, impeccable hair, and dynamic dance moves created a perfect

00:27 visual spectacle.

00:29 The audience, including Taylor Swift, nodded in approval, joined by the likes of John Legend

00:38 and Chrissy Teigen, all revealing the magic of the performance.

00:42 The incomparable Oprah herself couldn't resist getting up, dancing, grooving, and

00:46 moving to the rhythm.

00:47 Miley's rock star charisma shone through as she flaunted her vocal prowess, delivering

00:52 an iconic performance that left the audience in awe.

00:55 Phased, Miley dropped the mic with boss-like confidence as she exited the stage.

01:00 Epic.

01:01 Reflecting on her song "Flowers," Miley shared her journey, emphasizing that she had

01:08 no expectations when creating it.

01:11 Witnessing others dance to it the way she envisioned brings tears to her eyes.

01:17 Expressing a desire to be like the kind of artist her idols would be proud of, Miley

01:21 Cyrus undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the Golden Globes with her electrifying presence

01:27 and heartfelt performance.

01:29 Miley Cyrus joins a growing list of Grammy telecast performances that include SZA, Joni

01:34 Mitchell, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Tracy Chapman, and Luke Combs.

01:39 The song is empowering, right?

01:40 But it wasn't always.

01:42 In fact, it used to be really, really sad.

01:44 "I wrote it in a really different way," Miley Cyrus said.

01:48 The chorus was originally, "I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I

01:52 can't love me better than you can."

01:54 It used to be more like 1950s, the saddest song.

02:03 Like sure, I can be my own lover, but you're so much better.

02:06 In the end, she decided she'd rather win than wallow.

02:09 The song is a little "fake it till you make it," she added, which I'm a big fan of.

02:13 Elsewhere in the interview, Cyrus rebuffed the idea that her album Endless Summer Vacation

02:18 is some kind of diary meant to be interpreted literally.

02:21 Or that her music videos and album rollout are littered with clues about her past.

02:25 "I never need to be a master at the craft of tricking an audience," she said.

02:30 "It will set itself on fire all by itself."

02:32 She may never admit it, but some of the conclusions drawn by her fans seemed a little too on the

02:37 nose to be purely coincidental.

02:39 "Right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed right on the tip of his nose."

02:44 Releasing Endless Summer Vacation on Hemsworth's birthday was an accident?

02:48 Mmmkay.

02:49 Then there's the lyric "built a home and watched it burn," which appeared to be a

02:52 direct reference to the former couple's Malibu home that was destroyed by a fire.

03:02 Other theories are a little more outlandish.

03:04 It's difficult to prove, for example, that her lyrical reference is to Bruno Mars' "When

03:08 I was your man" in Flowers were because Liam Hemsworth had allegedly dedicated the song

03:13 to her at one point.

03:14 Or that Cyrus wears an old tuxedo jacket in the accompanying music video.

03:18 Miley doesn't owe her fans an explanation, and she's made it clear she's not giving

03:22 one anytime soon.

03:23 She's too busy being Miley, and she's too busy being fabulous.

03:26 Let's all discuss what we think in the comments.

03:29 Miley never fails to amaze us all.

03:31 Even her haters have to admit that.
