Miley Cyrus slammed ex-husband Liam Hemsworth by changing up the lyrics to her hit song “Flowers” during her performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 4.
Miley Cyrus reached a big milestone as she beat Taylor Swift to win her first ever Grammy award for Flowers – the diss track written about ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
The 31-year-old singer – who also performed the hit song live on television for the first time during the ceremony – scooped the first award of the main show for Best Pop Solo Performance.
The star was thrilled to accept the honor from presenter, Mariah Carey, and hailed the special moment as ‘iconic.’
After stepping onto the stage while receiving applause from the audience, Cyrus approached the microphone after greeting the Fantasy hitmaker.
‘This MC is going to stand next to this MC because this is just too iconic,’ she excitedly gushed, referencing to their similar initials.
While singing the words “I didn’t wanna leave you,” she added “but I did,” and after saying “I didn’t wanna fight” she quipped, “but we did,” seemingly referencing her tumultuous split from the Hunger Games actor.
Miley Cyrus won her first Grammy on February 4th.
Following the performance, fans of the Hannah Montana star took to social media to praise her for shading her ex and supposedly “winning the breakup” after earning her first-ever Grammy for a song rumored to be about their high profile divorce.
“Miley Cyrus stood up there on stage and said ‘f— you liam hemsworth’ with her whole chest, like that man should never show his face in LA again,” one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, and another chimed in, “If I were liam hemsworth i would feel defeated for very good reason.”

Although Cyrus didn’t name-drop her famous ex-husband at the award show, she did gush over seeing Grammy presenter and music legend Mariah Carey on stage, calling the moment “just too iconic.”
