Miley Cyrus set the stage on fire at the 2024 Grammys, marking the occasion with her inaugural victory. The 31-year-old artist clinched the title of 'Best Pop Solo Performance' for her track 'Flowers,' triumphing over competitors such as Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift.
Mariah Carey bestowed the award upon her and Cyrus couldn't contain her excitement as she took the spotlight.

In her acceptance speech, Cyrus kicked things off with a shoutout to Mariah Carey, the iconic pop queen who handed her the accolade. "This MC Is gonna stand by this MC," Cyrus declared, emphasizing the iconic nature of the moment.
Reflecting on her journey to the Grammys, she humourously shared her concern about being stuck in rain and traffic, fearing she might miss the first award of the night. "I could've missed the award, that's fine, but not Mariah Carey. I just saw you at the Hollywood Bowl, it was everything," she confessed.

The singer, known for her candid and heartfelt expressions, delved into a touching anecdote during her speech. A tale of a young boy yearning for a butterfly on his birthday, armed with a net, only to find success when he let go of his pursuit and the butterfly landed on his nose. Mariah Carey's audible "Aw" in the background added a charming touch to the moment. Connecting the narrative to her winning song 'Flowers,' Cyrus expressed, "This song 'Flowers' is my butterfly. Thank you."
'Flowers,' a self-love anthem and the debut single from her album 'Endless Summer Vacation.' Spending eight weeks at the summit of the U.S. Billboard charts and claiming the title of the most-streamed song in a single week on Spotify, the track marked a significant milestone in Cyrus's career.
