Miley Cyrus takes swipe at ex-husband Liam Hemsworth during Grammys performance
Miley Cyrus appeared to use her Grammys performance as an opportunity to take a swipe at her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
The chart-topping star took to the stage for the 66th annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles to perform her 2023 anthem Flowers. She then appeared to refer to her divorce from Liam as she ad-libbed some lyrics around the bridge of the song.
She sang “I didn’t want to leave you,” adding the line, “But had to.” The next set of lyrics saw her belt out “I didn’t want to fight” as she added, “But we did.” She then gushed over her big career moment on the night as she continued to improvise adding “Started to cry but then I remembered… I just won my first Grammy!”

The song was the lead single from her 2023 album, Endless Summer Vacation. Miley also picked up nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Flowers.
The release of Flowers in January 2023 saw fans speculating that the song was about Liam who she divorced from in January 2020 after they had been married for just one year. When quizzed on the song and who it was about by British Vogue in May 2023 Miley said: “I never need to be a master at the craft of tricking an audience. It will set itself on fire all by itself.”

She said: “It’s so entertaining, the song did come out on his birthday - was that on purpose? I don’t know, can’t say. Genius though.”
She continued: “The fans love Miley fans so much, they go hard in the paint. The fans on TikTok just keep creating narrative after narrative and it is so funny. It makes Miley seem like an absolute genius, and it’s just too good. Everyday I wake up to a new one… The narratives are f**king hilarious, but it’s so great. It’s the best PR that could ever happen because it gets people talking about the song on TikTok and it’s everywhere. And it’s just so fun to watch it all play out. Miley fans, I love ya.”
