"This MC is gonna stand by this MC for this because its too iconic," Miley said, referencing her and Mariah's similar initials.

He got a butterfly net for his birthday and tried to catch one to no avail. "He finally let go and he surrendered and he was okay that he wasn't going to capture this beautiful butterfly," she said, "And right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed at the tip of his nose. And this song flowers is my butterfly, thank you."
Fans were so excited for the former Disney star, as she finally got recognition from the Academy. " Miley Cyrus finally got a Grammy. that’s my childhood star I’m proud of my sis. Idgaf SHE DESERVES," one fan said on Twitter.
Another added: "Miley Cyrus is so gagged Mariah Carey presented her Grammy she doesn't even care about the damn award win."
