Miley Cyrus Surprises Fans With Intimate ‘Something Beautiful’ Set At Chateau Marmont

“You like your style, and you love mine,” Cyrus quipped, glammed out in a shimmering silver old Hollywood-style dress as she started with Something Beautiful track “More to Lose.” She then played latest single “Easy Lover” before belting last year’s smash hit “Flowers,” telling the crowd she hopes all of her upcoming album’s songs “touch people the way this song has.”

Cyrus, flanked pianist Michal Pollack, drummer Maxx Morando and guitarist Jonathan Rado, was loose and comfortable around her fans, opining between songs about growing up together and how the fans In the room have stuck with her through the many changes in her sound and personal life since her days as a teen idol as Hannah Montana nearly 20 years ago. 

“We really did grow up together, that’s why it’s so emotional for all of us, we’ve been on this journey together,” Cyrus said. “We start to even outgrow ourselves, there’s things we gain but things we also leave behind. And I’ve never wanted that to be you. I’ve never wanted that to be my fans, everyone I grew up with. As I started to go deeper on my own personal journey, it’s always been my hope and vision that you all would come with me. It’s always greatly appreciated when you do, and you always do.”

Talking about that growth and the “different species” of butterflies she gets in the room with her fans, she then went into an impromptu performance of “The Climb,” joking that she “wasn’t going to perform” the song before fans goaded her. She finished up with “End of the World.”

During her set, Cyrus had talked about making Something Beautiful, which will also have an accompanying film, over the past couple years amid the Endless Summer Vacation era, joking that “I wasn’t on vacation, I was making the next album.” 

“The next time you’re spamming the comments, just know I’m busy in my bikini,” she said.

Cyrus walked fans through the concept of Something Beautiful, telling the crowd “it’s about taking these experiences, even when they’re painful or we want to throw them away because they’re just too much to bear, and wrapping them in beautiful bows and ribbons and appreciating all these gifts and experiences that we can’t understand how they’re going to serve us later in our life.”

While she’s days away from the Something Beautiful era even coming into full swing, before she finished up the night with “End of the World,” Cyrus teased even more music, readying fans to come along for that ride too. 

“My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that,” she said as her fans cheered her on. “Something Beautiful is just the appetizer.”
