MILEY CYRUS Wins Record Of The Year For "FLOWERS"

11 February 2024


Miley Cyrus is officially a two-time Grammy winner — and "Flowers" is officially the record of the year.

Cyrus, 31, took the stage to accept the award for her 2023 hit and made an effort to thank "all the people that we love," and included a sweet shoutout to viewers watching at home.

"This award is amazing. But I really hope that it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular," she said, before adding with a laugh, "So please don't think that this is important, even though it's very important, right guys?"

Cyrus went on to thank "everyone that's standing on this stage right now Tom, Tyler, Michael and Greg. Our teams, my team, Crush, Columbia, my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays because look how good I look."

She then asked the team behind her, "Anyone else? Your wife, your fiancée, all the people that we love. Thank you all so much."

"I don't think I forgot anyone. But I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!" she quipped as she concluded her speech, which did not mention her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

"Flowers" beat out Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?," boygenius' "Not Strong Enough," Jon Batiste's "Worship," Olivia Rodrigo's "vampire," SZA's "Kill Bill, Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" and Victoria Monét's "On My Mama" to take home the major award, which honors the overall production of a song.

Eilish, 22, and her brother/collaborator Finneas O'Connell's gentle ballad "What Was I Made For?" (produced by them, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt) hails from the Barbie movie and plays in a pivotal scene in the film, during which Margot Robbie's titular character comes to accept her identity. Beyond being a central component to the Greta Gerwig-directed blockbuster, the song's tender lyrics have connected with fans since its July 2023 release.

The pop star has opened up about how personal the song has become to her in the past, as it helped her emerge from a period of self-doubt. She told Apple Music's Zane Lowe in an interview, "Honestly, [Finneas and I] were in a period of time where we were both ... like through this last winter, we've both been incredibly uninspired. And we've still been working and trying to make stuff. And honestly, that song was the first thing we'd written in a minute."

After explaining that she didn't realize how much the song's lyric's reflected her own experience, she added, "I was like, 'This is exactly how I feel. And I didn't even mean to be saying it.'"
